Autistic brains are more capable of conceiving creating ideas than the normal ones. Yes, this is what UK researchers have claimed after studying results of 312-people online survey. The questions were also meant to figure out if the participants had some traits of the autism even if there was no formal declaration of the disorder.

In order to test the creativity of the participants, the researchers sought interpretations of images that were supposed to have a deeper meaning than they seemed.

They also asked the participants to list out minimum uses for simple objects like a brick or a paper clip in a minute.

Solomon Chau and Jennifer Carter married four months before Chau lost his life due to terminal cancer. The couple was aware of Chau’s condition and what would happen next. Chau was buried on the date when the pair originally had to tie the knot.

Both were in relationship for eight years. In December 2014, Chau was diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent surgery to remove tumor. Initially, it was thought that the treatment has turned out to be successful.

But it did not happen so, as Chau was rushed back to hospital this March with stomach pain and it was found that cancer has spread in his body and doctors could not do anything. Love was strong and the pair was determined to have their dream wedding.

According to reports, Megabots, Inc. has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise half a million dollars to upgrade its Mk.II, a 12,000 pound combat robot capable of firing paintballs at a speed of 120 MPH.

As per the reports, one arm of the robot is a missile launcher and the other is a cannon. Inventors of the robot, Matt Oehrlein and Gui Cavalcanti, have set it up for an extraordinary fight. They said that they make efforts in order to transform their invention into a more agile fighting machine for winning the battle.

Cavalcanti and Oehrlein, who are co-founders of Berkeley-based MegaBots Inc., are looking forward to come up with fierce and gladiator-style entertainment.

A study has projected a world map of mammals in a situation where no human has ever existed. Researchers said that if there would have been no humans then elephants and rhinos would have been all around across Europe and big mammals would have been thriving in North and South America.

"The study shows that large parts of the world would harbor rich large mammal faunas, as diverse as seen in protected areas of eastern and southern Africa today, if it was not for historic and prehistoric human-driven range losses and extinctions", said Professor Jens-Christian Svenning from Aarhus University in Denmark.

A study has warned about increasing level of deforestation. Study researchers said that tropical forests of the size of India will be destroyed in the next 35 years. Deforestation level has surpassed the level previously thought.

Researchers from the Washington-based Center for Global Development have taken the help of satellite imagery and data from 100 nations to reach at the above level prediction. The researchers have affirmed that 289m hectares of tropical forests will be cut down by 2050.

Decline in honey bee populations across the world is a matter of concern for one and all. A group of international researchers, beekeepers, farmers and technology companies are trying a new measure to know the exact reason behind the depletion in the population of honeybees.

Small-sized sensors have been placed on the backs of 10,000 honeybees across the world, so they can help know why so many bees are dying. These tiny trackers will send back information to receivers that are placed at bee hives.

As a part of an international research project that is investigation bee health, the technology has been developed in Tasmania by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
