An international team of researchers claimed they've learned how a human egg captures an incoming sperm for fertilization, a discovery that may help couples who are having infertility issues.

Researchers said that they have discovered how a human egg captures a human sperm for fertilization. The discovery may be the breakthrough that infertile couples have been searching for.

A study that evaluates sci-fi scenarios for extraterrestrial encounters, published in the journal Acta Astronautica, said that E.T. could decide whether we're a threat to intergalactic order and may try to kill us. At the heart of these scenarios is the possibility that intrinsic value may be more efficiently produced in our absence, the researchers wrote.
