Asteroids are composed of the original materials of the Solar System, which are about 4.5 billion years old, and have remained relatively intact. “They can give us clues about how the solar system formed and evolved,” said Melissa Morris, OSIRIS-Rex program executive. “This is our own origin story.” “We believe that asteroids and comets that […]
The most CO2 was in an 1,800-kilometre-wide (1,120 mi) region called Tara Regio, where there is a lot of “chaotic terrain” with jagged peaks and cracks. What exactly causes the chaos in the area is not well understood, but one theory is that warm water from the ocean rises up to melt the surface ice, […]
Mawson shared the results of DNA and carbon dating tests he conducted on the “creatures” on social media and in his presentation. A Mexican scientist reviewed the results at the request of Reuters and concluded that they indicated normal life on Earth. Mawson told Reuters on Friday that the test results were not directly related […]
“In cryptography, it is important not only that the numbers are random, but that you are the only one who knows about them. With QRNG, we can certify that a large amount of generated bits are private and thus completely secure. And if the laws of quantum physics are true, it should be impossible to […]
Transforming Industries, Inventing Solutions, Solving Challenges
Black holes, celestial bodies known for their gluttony, usually devour so many unlucky stars that they get too close to them in one big gulp, destroying them with their enormous gravitational pull. But it turns out that some people prefer to have breakfast instead of filling their stomach. Researchers say they have watched a supermassive […]
Superconductors kept at temperatures as low as -250C already have many uses, including MRI medical scanners, the Large Hadron Collider and some high-speed levitating trains in Japan. If the world does stumble upon a true room-temperature superconductor, perhaps the biggest impact will be on the electrical grid. Currently, 10-15 per cent of electricity is lost […]
New dinosaur found in Spain sheds light on history of meat-eating group
In the new study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the international team of researchers set out what they believe is the most likely scenario. Their theory is that a giant, single cloud of gas – about 5,000 times the mass of the Sun – is slowly being consumed by a supermassive […]
“We have to figure out what cells like to eat, how they like to grow, and there’s not that much literature to start with,” he said. “The number of scientists working on fish stem cell biology, as you can imagine, is a small fraction of those working on animal cells and human cells.” He said […]
To confirm the finding, they used CRISPR editing to genetically modify locusts so that they no longer produced PAN, making them more vulnerable to cannibalism. For further confirmation, they tested the olfactory receptors of dozens of locusts, eventually landing on one that was very sensitive to PAN. When those gene edited locusts no longer produce […]
Once the feasibility study is complete, CERN’s member states – 22 European countries and Israel – will decide over the next five to six years whether to build the FCC. The FCC will accelerate electrons and positrons by 2060, and then hadrons by 2090, as it seeks answers to many remaining questions in fundamental physics, […]
First discovered 400 years ago by astronomer Galileo Galilei, Jupiter’s icy moons were long overlooked as potential candidates to host life. But previous space probes have suggested that beneath their icy shells, there are vast oceans of liquid water – a key ingredient for life as we know it. This has made Ganymede and Europa […]
To trap the birds, the work in the field starts from early morning by putting a dozen fine nets. In the evening comes the turn of bats and owls. Once caught, samples of blood, fluid and ectoparasites – if they carry them – are taken. Scientists identify the animal, measure it, record the data, and […]
