Numerous variables impact the environment and relationship between Earth and the rest of space. Therefore, it’s no wonder scientists are closely monitoring any significant changes. Although we strive to care for the environment, some variables are entirely ou…

Mankind is ready to start exploring space resources. Such resources seem unusually attractive today, but what are the real possibilities of space travel for their extraction? The most sought-after mineral resource in space is water, which will be the source o…

Until recently, fish that eat coral—corallivores—were thought to weaken reef structures, while fish that consume algae and detritus—grazers—were thought to keep reefs healthy. But scientists have discovered that feces from grazers leave large lesions on coral…

In May and June of 2018, Australia's first near-complete skull of a sauropod – a group of long-tailed, long-necked, small-headed dinosaurs – was found on a sheep station northwest of Winton in Queensland.

After upgrading the radio telescope array at Westerbork, The Netherlands, astronomers have found five new Fast Radio Bursts. The telescope images, much sharper than previously possible, revealed that multiple bursts had pierced our neighboring Triangulum Gala…

Los Angeles, Apr 13 (UNI) A SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft is set to depart the International Space Station (ISS) this Saturday, returning scientific research samples and hardware to Earth for NASA, the agency said on Wednesday.

China is looking to start work on building a base on the moon using lunar soil within the next five years, according to state media. Beijing “aims to establish a basic model for a lunar research station base by 2028 and expand it into an international one,” s…

Scientists have traced the origin of a unique protein responsible for the specialization of cells that are critical for vertebrate’s camera-like vision back 500 million years to a bacterial source. Their analysis of more than 900 genomes across the tree of li…

An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting the “cosmic dawn” — the era after the Big Bang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom.

Scientists have described a new species of bat based on the oldest bat skeletons ever recovered. The study on the extinct bat, which lived in Wyoming about 52 million years ago, supports the idea that bats diversified rapidly on multiple continents during thi…

Some classical computers have error correction built into their memories based on bits; quantum computers, to be workable in the future, will need error correction mechanisms, too, based on the vastly more sensitive qubits.
