Geneticists at Stanford University are working on rewriting crops to make them more resistant to climate change. They do that by modifying the structure and depth of the crops’ developing root systems. Read out below to find out more intriguing ...
Triassic reptiles sprang to dominance for various reasons, including a significant extinction 252 million years ago. According to a recent study, the rate of climate change may contribute significantly to the acceleration of evolution. Scientists focused on the development of ...
According to recent research, the megalodon shark was the fastest shark ever. It was also so massive that it could easily swallow an orca in just a few bites! Now, scientists get the best look yet at the size, speed, ...
It was around 66 million years back, when an asteroid crashed into Earth, causing a gigantic crater beneath the ocean and causing havoc on the globe. Not the asteroid that killed out the dinosaurs, but rather a crater discovered 248 ...
A recent research confirms that, just as physical exercise may tire out your body, sustained, intense mental activity can do the same to your brain. The perspiration on a person’s forehead or the trembling of their muscles may be indicative ...
An innovative computer model of sauropod dinosaur feet reveals for the first time that a cushioned pad at the back of the heel was essential to the animals’ ability to carry their massive weight. For the sauropods to become the ...
The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia is once again bringing the situation to the edge of disaster. There are fears that Europe might go through a “Chernobyl 2.0” scenario. Apparently, the Russian forces bombed the Zaporizhzhia nuclear complex from ...
A recent research by a team of experts from Europe as well as Japan has shown that the development of the larynx has played a role in the consistency of human vocalization. Contrary to what one would think, these alterations ...
James Webb Space Telescope: Mind-Bending Images Of The Cartwheel Galaxy And The Rest Of Our Universe
The James Webb Telescope is giving us a perspective of the cosmos that has never been possible before. We can’t even begin to fathom what James Webb views through the telescope, which is the beginnings of the universe and other ...
Today, August 6, humanity faces 77 years after the first time a nuclear weapon was used in a military conflict. The USA detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945 during the Second World War, killing ...
How conducive is the Moon to the survival of humans? It seems that our odds have just improved. A recent study has shown that there are regions on the moon where temperatures are consistent enough for human beings to exist. ...
The James Webb Space Telescope of NASA was able to peek into the disorder of the Cartwheel Galaxy, which led to the discovery of new information on the galaxy’s center black hole as well as the birth of stars. The ...
To develop materials that might transform electronics, researchers have employed DNA to conquer an almost impossible challenge. Superconductors, which all have no electrical resistance and enable electrons to flow freely, might be the result of such designed materials. That implies, ...
Jupiter in all its glory, as seen via NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Though it’s only been operational for a short period of time, the telescope has already managed to shock the scientific community once again. The breathtaking picture was ...
For the first time, the passage of individual atoms through a liquid has been captured on film. Scientists have been able to witness platinum atoms ‘swimming’ around a surface at varying pressures by trapping them in a wafer of substances ...
The James Webb Space Telescope hopes to learn how soon after the Big Bang galaxies formed and when stars began producing the ingredients required to create planets and life. The JWST has only just begun operations, yet it is already ...
In a recent interview, Doctor Jane Rigby, the operations project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, discussed how they decide where in the universe to spend their attention and what aspects of the cosmos continue to astound them. She ...
In recent images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered an unusual occurrence taking place in a far-off galaxy. This event was not present in the same galaxy when the Hubble Space Telescope was previously used to observe it. ...
Most of us have squished at least one spider at a certain point, but suppose its remains may be put to good use. Scientists believe it is possible, and they’re paving the way for the emerging discipline of “necrobotics” by ...
This massive neutron star was once a compact, collapsing star that shredded and ate virtually all of its stellar partner to become the highest in mass neutron star ever detected. One of several fastest-spinning neutron bright stars, its rotation rate is ...
On Earth, quasicrystals are only ever created under the most severe conditions. They need a very high-shock, high-temperature, and high-pressure event to occur. Only in extreme cases, like a nuclear blast, can we ever see such a phenomenon. From common ...
Cell division and death in hair follicles are regulated by a single molecule. Since hair follicles include stem cells, this finding has the potential to cure baldness and hasten the healing of wounds. The vast majority of cells in the ...
A person’s attractiveness is determined by how closely their face proportions match the Golden Ratio in the Golden Ratio test. Is this, however, a recipe for attractiveness? What is the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio, commonly known as the “Divine ...
As the smallest known form of life on Earth, microbes may be discovered almost anywhere, even in the frigid, Martian-like environments of lava caverns. Geothermal caverns, lava tubes, and volcanic vents on the Hawaiian island of Hawai’i are home to ...
A group of scientists has been using a pair of vibrating rods to determine the gravitational constant to extraordinarily precise accuracy. While there is still a lot of room for error with the new method, researchers are optimistic that advancements ...
