It might not seem like such a long time, but in past three decades, Earth has changed in immeasurable ways, with cities rising, glaciers falling, and unprecedented disasters reshaping the landscape forever.  With 5 million satellite images taken from 1984…

That’s the conclusion of Steve Jacobsen at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and his colleagues. Their study is published in Lithos, and was recently picked up by New Scientist.

In February 2016, physicists declared the century-long search for gravitational waves was over. Einstein predicted the existence of such ripples in the fabric of spacetime in 1915, but he doubted their weak signatures could be detected. But more than 1,000…

The Pythagorean Theorem The understanding of geometry is buoyed by this particular theorem. The relationship between each side of a right triangle is explained here before the length of each short side is squared and added and this equals the square of the…

Recently, the Canadian space and defense company, Toth Technology Inc has published video animation, named TothX spaced elevator. In the animation, they presented a ThothX tower, tall 15km with the hotels and an observation deck on its top. They used spiral…

Using sophisticated computer simulations, the team worked out that SLSNe that lack hydrogen are surrounded by dense clouds of carbon and oxygen. When the stars actually explode, these clouds are lit up by the shockwaves of the supernova, producing the increased…

Health and help to those in need are becoming more and more profitable than gadgets and consumer services. In the past few years, medical start-ups were booming. Young innovators and entrepreneurs are not just trying to make money, selling the more comfortable…

Just as geneticists might revel in the release of a new platform capable of generating long-read sequences with single-

Spotlight: This delicate blue group of stars - actually an irregular galaxy- sits some 30 million light-years away. It may seem to have no discernable structure, but it has been found to have a bar of stars running through its center. These structures are…

But, wait! Perhaps it is not so. A new study has proposed the speed of light in a vacuum has not always been the same value it is now (299,792,458 meters per second), and was in fact slightly higher at the beginning of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.

Now the Cassini spacecraft has gradually shifted into an orbit that takes it over the planet’s north and south poles and then down into a series of increasingly vertiginous-looking dives perpendicular to the plane of its buttery glowing rings.

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that underwater ecosystems have pollinators that perform the same task as bees on land.

The effort to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity means reconciling totally different notions of time.

1969 and all that. German scientists want to send two mobile probes to the Moon, which they say will be able to inspect the lunar rover left behind by the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Yep, as well as test-driving new technologies and exploring the lunar surface…

Foreplay is involved. Tardigrades don't need any help in the weird department - the tiny creatures, also known as water bears, are only a few hundred micrometres long, but are almost impossible to kill. They can survive in the vacuum of space, endure total…
