The James Webb Space Telescope keeps challenging our best models of how the universe evolved, thanks to its incredible ability to see farther back in space and time than ever before. Now it’s discovered some “impossibly” gigantic galaxies that contain … Continue reading James Webb spots “impossibly massive” galaxies in the distant universe
Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a versatile new material that should help in the ongoing battle against corrosion for buildings and vehicles. The polymer coating not only protects against corrosion, but highlights cracks as they form, automatica… Continue reading New anti-corrosion polymer highlights damage, self-heals and is recyclable
Although astronomers are tracking most of the largest and deadliest asteroids in our solar system, there’s one glaring blindspot in the sky – the vicinity of the Sun. Thankfully, ESA plans to plug the gap soon with NEOMIR, a mission that will give us a… Continue reading New space mission will watch for hazardous asteroids hidden by the Sun
The negative health effects of chemicals called PFAS continue to be uncovered. Scientists from North Carolina State University (NCSU) have now shown that some types of PFAS can disrupt vital functions of immune cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, … Continue reading Toxic “forever chemicals” could disrupt vital immune cell function
Perovskites are one of the most promising new materials for solar cell technology. Now engineers at the University of Rochester have developed a new way to more than triple the material’s efficiency by adding a layer of reflective silver underneath it…. Continue reading Silver mirror triples efficiency of perovskite solar cells
A groundbreaking new study could finally provide an answer to one of the most perplexing astrophysics mysteries – without needing to add anything new to our current models. Physicists suggest that black holes could contain a strange form of energy that… Continue reading Startling new evidence suggests black holes drive expansion of universe
Astronomers have classified planetary systems into four distinct categories, based on the sizes and arrangements of their planets. As it turns out, the architecture of our own solar system is the rarest kind.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags… Continue reading Proposed planetary system classifications suggest ours is the rarest
The myth that goldfish have only a three-second memory might be giving us an unfair view of their mental capabilities. A new study has shown that some fish can recognize themselves in a photograph, meaning they join a pretty exclusive club of animals k… Continue reading Fish can recognize themselves in a photo, says new study
Male contraceptives have traditionally been limited to condoms or vasectomies, which aren’t ideal solutions for many reasons. Now scientists have demonstrated a promising new method that takes the form of a pill that can be taken just before sex, great… Continue reading Promising male contraceptive pill works in 30 minutes, wears off in a day
Scientists have discovered the fossil remains of what may be the largest penguins that ever lived. The bones, found on a beach in New Zealand, belonged to a giant bird that was more than three times the size of the biggest living penguins today.
