One might envision a microscopic creature with its very own built-in engine, an engine whose power is fueled by something surprisingly similar to the power of rocket fuel. Scientists have now discovered exactly that inside malaria-carrying parasites. It is a fascinating look into the ways in which these deadly creatures live. It is a discovery…
For millions of years of existence, dinosaurs’ extinction was not as a result of their size, strength, or ferocity, but because the way their eggs were formed was a disadvantage to the species. Today, birds have evolved into masters of incubation, but new research published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution revealed that…
The return journey to the Moon is gradually starting to take form as NASA works towards launching its powerful rocket to take astronauts to the Moon. After weeks of testing and repairs, NASA has started rolling its giant rocket to the launch pad to begin a new push towards a historic mission to the Moon….
Reverberant sounds made in an empty environment are the result of sound waves bouncing off hard, flat surfaces, as governed by basic principles of the science of physical acoustics. When completed, the energy of the sound wave travels through space until it meets some boundary surface. In a furnished environment (e.g., living room with furniture),…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare moment involving the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) as it began breaking apart. Events like this are not often seen, mainly because comet fragmentation is difficult to anticipate and even harder to observe at the right time. The results were later published in the journal Icarus.Interestingly, the comet…
PC: Brookhaven National Laboratory The discovery of what existed before what we consider modern-day matter has led scientists to change their view of cosmology from an explosion to one of looking at it as if it were made up of a primordial liquid. MIT physicists, along with the CMS Collaboration at CERN, were able to…
Dutch greenhouse growing tulips In a greenhouse on the outskirts of the Netherlands’ flower-growing regions, rows of tulips bloom in a climate controlled not only by traditional horticultural equipment but also by humming cryptocurrency computers. Instead of allowing heat generated by Bitcoin mining machines to dissipate into the air, farmers and engineers have begun redirecting…
The satellite internet service Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, is now reportedly available across Kuwait. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Kuwait battling the direct impact of the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran. Tehran has targeted critical infrastructure, including parts of Kuwait International Airport in retaliation to US-Israel strikes on…
The Solar System is a weird place filled with incredible physics and geological oddities that often break down in human terms. The way we learn the order of the planets is the classroom version of what is actually happening. For instance, Venus is hotter than Mercury and has a surface that looks like it was…
PC: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory The excitement surrounding the Red Planet (Mars) has reached new levels with the emergence of a three-sided pyramid on the planet, going viral throughout social media and news agencies around the world. The giant pyramid is located in the western area of Candor Chasma (a giant canyon in the Valles…
