Space · OceanMimas seemed like an unlikely candidate, with its icy, heavily cratered surface marked by one giant impact crater that makes the small moon look much like the Death Star from Star Wars. If Mimas has an ocean, it represents a new class of small, stealth ocean worlds with surfaces that do not betray the ocean's existence.See the Story
Evidence that Saturn's moon Mimas is a stealth ocean world: Simulations suggest that Saturn's smallest, innermost moon could have an expanding, geologically young ocean

MedicalFirst study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who got a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal brainwave frequency were at least three times faster when it came to improving at a cognitive task. When researchers tested participants again the next day, those who had improved faster were still just as good – the learning stuck.See the Story

NatureOne third of premature deaths attributable to higher temperatures in European cities during summer 2015 could have been prevented by increasing urban tree cover to 30%, reveals a modelling study published in The Lancet. The study also found that tree cover reduced urban temperatures by an average of 0.4 degrees during the summer.See the Story

SciencePollen preserved in 250 million-year-old rocks contain compounds that function like sunscreen. These are produced by plants to protect them from harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation. Findings suggest that a pulse of UV-B played an important part in the end Permian mass extinction event.See the Story
