A study published in the journal Nature revealed that flu develops in the roof of the mouth and spreads through coughs and sneezes.

Based on their findings, the soft palate, which separates the back of the mouth and the nasal cavity, plays a crucial in the influenza virus’ ability to travel from one person to another.

Scientists discovered that the inflammation associated with infection in the soft palate causes coughing and sneezing. These actions actually propel the virus out of the mouth enabling it to spread easily.

We’ve been told not to judge a book by its cover, but a recent study suggests that men can sense if a woman is faithful just by examining her photograph.

An experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Western Australia revealed that men have the surprising ability to determine whether a woman is a heartbreaker or not.

A group of men were asked to briefly examine photos of 34 women. The ladies’s photos were shown in pairs- one had stayed faithful to her partner, while the other had duped her partner at least twice in the past. No additional information about the ladies were given.

Back in RIMPAC 2014, the US Marines took time to showcase an interesting amphibious vehicle – and we’d say we are still blown away up to this day.

Although the model was still a prototype at the time, it was undeniably an impressive one. In fact, it was a fully-functional half-scale prototype.

The Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC) has been created with impressive features such as powering across water even with almost 200 tons of payload. When seen in action, the UHAC actually looks like a tank on the water.
