But, you may not be entirely surprised to hear, they don't necessarily work. Guardian newshound Helen Pidd explains all in the latest episode of our weekly science and technology podcast.
As well as that, we have conservation biologist Sam Turvey as our guest in the studio, discussing the plight of the Yangtze river dolphin which was declared officially extinct last week.
Plus the rest of the crew get excited about dancing robots, fat cats and exoplanets.
You can listen to it straight away here or peruse more listening options over at the podcast blog.
