Stanford University researchers developed life-like skin for robots, similar the cyborg featured in the "Terminator," that can be punctured and heal itself.
These 5 asteroids are dashing towards Earth and could pass the planet at extremely close distances in the coming days! NASA has revealed details such as speed, distance of approach, size, and more.
LAST two years have witnessed four Mars-centric events almost one after the other. China soft landed their Lander as also the Rover ‘Jhurong’ on Martian soil, USA landed their Lander and Rover ‘Perseverance’
An international team of marine biologists has discovered the remnants of ancient RNA viruses embedded in the DNA of symbiotic organisms living inside reef-building corals.
NASA, with the help of its advanced satellites and telescopes, has issued a warning against an aircraft-sized asteroid that will come very close to Earth today. Know details.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Smithsonian: With a new technique, scientists have essentially figured out how to create power from thin air. Their tiny device generates electricity from the air's humidity, and it can be made from nearly any substanc…
The volcanic eruption in Tonga in January 2022 was so large, it created waves in the upper atmosphere that constituted their own form of space weather. It was one of the largest explosions in modern history and impacted GPS across Australia and Southeast Asia
Abstract. We report on the discovery of cool gas inflows towards three star-forming galaxies at <z > ∼ 2.30. Analysis of Keck Low-Resolution Imaging Spect
After the Big Bang, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form. In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the cosmic dark ages. The first stars and galaxies appeared several…
The most comprehensive genomic study ever on primates - a group whose membership includes lemurs, monkeys, apes and people - has revealed pivotal genetic traits that are uniquely <a href="/science/human-genome-reboot-better-reflects-global-population-2023-05-…
Microbes drive key processes of life on Earth. They affect global elemental cycles—the movement of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements. They also promote plant growth and affect the development of diseases. These roles are essential in every ecosystem. Resea…
With at least 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe, astronomers have long scanned the skies, looking for signs of life beyond Earth. But if an ali...
The thorium isotope with the mass number 229 (229Th) is highly exciting in many respects—for fundamental physics as well as for future applications, for example in the sense of a nuclear clock.
Cutting boards are handy tools found in most homes and restaurant kitchens. But a small-scale study in Environmental Science & Technology suggests that they are an overlooked source of micrometer-sized particles.
