How the Universe Shapes Our Understanding of Time
Clocks: In a world of booked calendars and packed schedules, it’s hard to imagine life without them. But as it turns out, we’ve been telling time long before their invention. For millennia, people have used the stars to understand and organize the movement of time.

In a Comprehensive Test, The 'Impossible' EM Drive Has Failed to Produce Thrust… Again
The EM Drive is a hypothetical rocket that proponents claim can generate thrust with no exhaust. This would violate all known physics. In 2016, a team at NASA's Eagleworks lab claimed to measure thrust from an EM Drive device, the news of which ca
Mars Helicopter Ingenuity's first flight planned for Sunday April 11th
NASA Invites Public to Take Flight With Ingenuity Mars Helicopter with a livestream confirming Ingenuity’s first flight, targeted to begin around 7:30 am UTC Monday, April 12th.
The helicopter is a technology demonstration with a planned test flight duration of up to 31 days (30 Mars days, or sols). The rover will provide support during flight operations, taking images, collecting environmental data, and hosting the base station that enables the helicopter to communicate with mission controllers on Earth.
Livestream will be available here on YouTube, on Monday

The Hidden Environmental Costs of Electric Cars
As green technologies become more common, scientists are trying to 'green' the lithium-ion batteries that power them. One question being: can we innovate ways to reuse and recycle these complicated batteries?

A Newly Reported Muon Wobble Could Break Physics as We Know It
The results from one of the most hotly-anticipated experiments in particle physics are in, and they could be about to fulfill every researcher's wildest dreams: They maybe, perhaps, could break physics as we know it.

Monkey MindPong
Pager, a nine year old Macaque, plays Mind Pong with his Neuralink.
At first, Pager is shown controlling a pointer on the screen using a joystick while the Neuralink monitors brain activity.
In the next segment the joystick is removed and he proceeds to play a game of Mind Pong by thinking of moving the non-existent joystick.

Betelgeuse Is Destined to Explode as a Supernova…But When?
Long considered one of the brightest stars in the night sky, Betelgeuse has begun to dramatically fade then brighten again for reasons we can’t quite pin down. And it’s caused some people to wonder if it's about to explode.

NGC 1947 demonstrates this well: Even from a distance of around 45.4 million light-years away (in the southern constellation of Dorado), we can see that the galaxy is slowly on the decline.Article

Precipitation is much more widespread throughout the Solar System than commonly assumed. Obviously it rains water on Earth. But it snows carbon dioxide on Mars, rains methane on Titan, sulfuric acid on Venus, and could potentially rain diamonds

Good News, The B117 Strain Is Not Linked to Greater Severity of COVID-19
The English variant of the novel coronavirus does not increase the severity of COVID-19 compared to other strains, according to research published Tuesday that also confirmed its increased transmissibility.
The variant, known as B117, is now the dominant viral strain across much of Europe, and previous studies had shown it was linked to a higher likelihood of death than normal variants.
But two studies published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases and The Lancet Public Health journals found no evidence that people with B117 experience worse symptoms or a greater risk of developing long COVID than those infected with different variants.
