The sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, is able to become plant-like and survive solely on photosynthesis, which is highly unusual for an animal, by ingesting millions of green-colored plastids, which are like tiny solar panels, from algae. This suggests isolated plastids may be harnessed to create energy.

Weekend sleep-ins may counteract the effects of lack of sleep during weekdays - Adults under the age of 65 who get 5 or fewer hours of sleep may have a higher risk of death compared to those who get 6 or 7 hours. However, individuals who then sleep longer on weekends had no raised mortality risk.

Princeton researchers crowdsource brain mapping with gamers, discover six new neuron types - With the help of a quarter-million video game players, researchers have created detailed maps of more than 1,000 neurons, a digital museum that shows off the intricate beauty of the retina’s neural circuits.

Wim Hof is the holder of 21 Guiness records, also known as 'The Iceman' for his ability to withstand extreme cold. Listen to his entertaining talk about how he fought fear when swimming under the ice of the ocean or climbing in avalanches — his stories will take your breath away (pun intended).

The age-related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast, according to a new study from MIT biologists. The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves intestinal stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both aged and young mice, as reported in Cell Stem Cell.
