New mineral discovered in Moon meteorite could lurk deep beneath Earth

Researchers have discovered a new mineral in a meteorite from the Moon. Named donwilhemsite, the mineral appears to form under high pressures and may play a crucial role in the rock cycle deep within the Earth.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Moo… Continue reading New mineral discovered in Moon meteorite could lurk deep beneath Earth→

CERN scientists design trap to transport antimatter between facilities

Antimatter is a tricky substance to store and transport, mostly because of its habit of annihilating any container you try to put it in. Now, researchers at the BASE collaboration at CERN have outlined a new antimatter trap designed to safely carry the… Continue reading CERN scientists design trap to transport antimatter between facilities→

Chameleon species lost for a century rediscovered in Madagascar

A species of chameleon that’s been lost to science for over a century has now been found. Voeltzkow’s chameleon, or Furcifer voeltzkowi, was rediscovered during a research expedition to Madagascar, which identified several surprisingly colorful individ… Continue reading Chameleon species lost for a century rediscovered in Madagascar→

Weird molecule found in Titan’s atmosphere hints at complex chemistry

NASA scientists have discovered a “weird” molecule called cyclopropenylidene, or C3H2, in the atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan. The simple carbon-based molecule has never been seen in an atmosphere before, and it could give rise to more complex compou… Continue reading Weird molecule found in Titan’s atmosphere hints at complex chemistry→

Smallest rogue planet discovered seems to be a free-floating exo-Earth

While almost every planet we’ve ever found orbits a star of some kind, there are some loners that roam the cosmos entirely on their own. Now, astronomers have spotted the smallest of these “rogue planets” ever discovered, which is only about the size o… Continue reading Smallest rogue planet discovered seems to be a free-floating exo-Earth→

Internet balloon spends record-breaking 312 days in the stratosphere

An internet-beaming balloon has broken a flight record, staying aloft in the stratosphere for 312 days straight. Developed and launched by Loon, the balloon circumnavigated the globe over the Southern Hemisphere for 10 months, demonstrating the resilie… Continue reading Internet balloon spends record-breaking 312 days in the stratosphere→

SoundWatch alerts deaf and hard-of-hearing people to important sounds

For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as a knock at the door or a fire alarm. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch system called SoundWatch, which ident… Continue reading SoundWatch alerts deaf and hard-of-hearing people to important sounds→

World’s smallest boat is thinner than a human hair

3DBenchy is a tiny 3D-printed boat, just a third of the thickness of a human hair

Researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands have created what’s probably the world’s smallest boat. Measuring just 30 microns long, the tiny model was 3D printed as part of a project investigating how to make synthetic “microswimmers” in complex shapes.
