A thorough examination of data spanning four decades has discovered something fishy going on with Jupiter. Jupiter is considered the biggest planet in the Solar System, so it should come as no surprise that it is incredibly different from ours. ...
Greenland is in more danger than we previously thought. The worst thing here is that we can’t do anything. The rate at which the ice is evaporating from Greenland is being better understood by scientists: the rate of glacier melting ...
Mars is quite shaky, and now we have more proof. A seismic event recorded on our neighbor planet is now the greatest ever detected, with a magnitude of 4.7. Five times stronger than the InSight lander’s previous greatest earthquake on ...
Forgetting stuff is quite frustrating, especially when you can’t understand what’s exactly happening to you. We may wonder on several occasions throughout our daily lives if memory lapses are indicative of cognitive decline, normal aging, or perhaps the onset of ...
Sediment at Greenland’s northernmost point dredged up around the opening of an Arctic Ocean fjord has yielded DNA from animals, plants, and bacteria dating back around 2 million years, the oldest on record. A wide variety of animal species, comprising ...
The United Arab Emirates’ first lunar rover and a toylike Japanese robot built to roll around in the gray dust on the moon were launched on Sunday aboard a SpaceX rocket by a Tokyo firm with their own private lander. ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was utilized by researchers in order to make the discovery of three of the universe’s oldest galaxies. They came into being fewer than 400 million years after the Big Bang, which occurred 13.4 billion ...
Two new samples of regolith from the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission could aid researchers and engineers in their study of the Red Planet and planning of future missions. The NASA Perseverance rover collected two more samples from Mars on December ...
Researchers from Ohio State University have come up with a novel way to detect dark matter, one of the greatest mysteries to the cosmological community. Using ground-based radar to search for ionization trails, similar to those produced by meteors streaking ...
There is hope that the Perseverance rover has discovered organic molecules in the Jezero Crater rocks. Organic chemicals have been detected on Mars before, according to previous investigations. There is data to support this from the Curiosity rover, the Mars ...
Mark Rober, a former NASA scientist who now posts footage of experiments on YouTube, regularly uploads videos of experiments that leave viewers speechless. His channel is packed to the gills with amazing videos that show him experimenting with a variety ...
In a study that has implications for both radiation and particle physics, researchers from Osaka University demonstrate, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, the relativistic contraction of an electric field created by fast-moving charged particles. Special relativity, proposed by one of ...
Sometimes asteroids come dangerously close to Earth, but they always miss us by a safe margin. Amazingly, astronomers have discovered three NEAs that were previously invisible due to the Sun’s intense light. These asteroids include the largest potentially dangerous object ...
Archaeologists have found several ancient mummies with gold chips in place of their tongues. As intriguing as it might sound, there’s more than meets the eye. The discovery was made at the central Nile Delta’s Quweisna on a site dating ...
In yet another example of its potential to reveal cosmic secrets, NASA’s most powerful space telescope has determined the molecular and chemical profile of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. Following its debut earlier this year, the James Webb Telescope’s extraordinary infrared capabilities ...
As China steps up its challenge to NASA’s leadership in space exploration, the government has announced that it intends to build its first base on the moon by the year 2028. This will be followed by the landing of astronauts ...
In a study that has yet to be published, scientists from France’s National Centre for Scientific Research have successfully resurrected more than a dozen ancient viruses from the depths of the Siberian permafrost. Thirteen previously unknown viruses were discovered in ...
NASA has declared that humans could live on the Moon for approximately ten years. On Wednesday was launched the Artemis rocket that contains the Orion lunar spacecraft. The mission of this rocket is to bring the astronauts back to the Moon ...
It’s possible that these fantastical creatures of physics have already been observed, as hypothetical bridges connecting disparate regions of space (and time) could look similar to regular old black holes. Nevertheless, there may still be a way to tell them ...
Knowing when an earthquake is about to occur, even a few seconds before its starts, surely seems like a scenario from sci-fi movies. But thanks to the ShakeAlert software app, meaning US Geological Survey’s earthquake early-warning system, it has become ...
An undiscovered region of space called the “zone of avoidance” is the location of a galaxy cluster recently found by astronomers. About 10–20 percent of the night sky is blank, like a phantom zone, according to IFL Science. Its proximity ...
Leonid meteor shower on November 17th and 18th, 2022 The pinnacle of the Leonid meteor shower occurs in the hours a little before midnight on Thursday and continues into the early hours of Friday when the moon is not visible ...
In recent years, cutting-edge telescopes around the world have spotted hundreds of gold-rich stars. These rich in gold stars likely originated in progenitor galaxies, smaller galaxies that combined to become our Milky Way, as shown by the most detailed models ...
Using working memory is like being able to remember the directions someone just gave you on the spot. Researchers at MIT have discovered that short bursts of gamma frequency rhythms in the prefrontal cortex are responsible for the brain’s ability ...
For over two centuries, people everywhere have been dependent on fossil fuels as a concentrated source of energy. Convenient, energy-dense molecules packed with the fruits of photosynthesis over hundreds of millions of years have been put to use by our ...
