Arctic scientists race to preserve ‘ice memory’
“Animals like T-rex, theropod dinosaurs, probably had some sort of lips, like a soft tissue over their mouths to cover their teeth,” said Thomas Cullen, one of the study’s authors. Auburn University. “This differs from a lot of preconceived notions – which was that they looked more like crocodiles, with teeth exposed when the mouth […]
NASA’s Curiosity rover has found rippled rocks – evidence of an ancient lake – in a region of the planet that is expected to dry up, the US space agency said on Wednesday. “This is the best evidence of water and waves that we’ve seen in the entire mission,” said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity’s project scientist […]
However, the reasons for this softening are not well understood. Scientists previously thought that molten rocks might be a factor. But this study shows that the melt does not, in fact, significantly affect the flow of mantle rocks. “When we think about melting something, we instinctively think that the melt should play a large role […]
The discovery of an asteroid the size of a small shipping truck that posed no threat to humans just days before it passed Earth on Thursday has exposed a blind spot in our ability to predict, astronomers say. Which can really hurt. NASA has for years prioritized detecting asteroids much larger and more existentially threatening […]
In the press statement, Dr Zafar Iqbal and Haseena Khan said, “Although we were not responsible for writing those parts [that were copied from the national geographic education]We as editors are acknowledging these mistakes.” “We will fix these mistakes in the next version.” The book has been prepared on trial basis and there is ample […]
Dark matter, which dominates the halo, makes up the majority of the universe’s mass and is thought to be responsible for its core structure, with its gravity influencing visible matter to come together and form stars and galaxies. The far outer edge of the halo is a poorly understood region of the Milky Way. These […]
Nuclear reactor experiment dismisses a dark matter hope
“The first year (of observations) is a way of testing the instrument for small rocky planets in the habitable zone that could potentially be Earth-like,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, associate professor in astronomy at Cornell University. “And the tests are beautiful. They’re fantastic.” Webb will blast off in late 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket, the […]
14 leak prompted mission controllers in Moscow to call off the spacewalk as a live NASA webcast showed a flurry of snowflake-like particles erupting from behind the Soyuz spacecraft. The leak lasted for hours and emptied the radiator of the coolant used to control the temperature inside the spacecraft’s crew compartment. NASA has said that […]
The mesh technology, which will help store coral larvae at -196C (-320.8°F), was devised by a team from the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering, including Zongqi Guo, a postdoctoral associate, and Professor John C. Bishov was involved. It was first tested on Coral by PhD student Nicholas Zukowicz. “This new technology that […]
So far no evidence of space aliens in Pentagon’s UFO deep-dive
“The diversity of theropod dinosaurs by the end of the Cretaceous is absolutely astonishing,” said Philip Currie, a University of Alberta paleontologist and co-author of the study. “I am confident that there will be more discoveries of fascinating, bizarre treatments in the future,” Li said. Many dinosaurs that are called “non-avian” – in other words, […]
“Experientially, for me, I’ll tell you it’s very, very far away. People come up to me and ask me, ‘Can you put your dog in a wormhole?’ So, no,” Spiropulu told reporters during a video briefing. “…that’s a big jump.” “There is a difference between something being possible in theory and being possible in reality,” […]
