- Milky Way Could Be Part of a Much Larger Cosmic Structure, Possibly Linked to the Shapley Concentration October 20, 2024A new study reveals that the Milky Way might be part of a much larger cosmic structure known as the Shapley Concentration, which is up to ten times larger than the previously identified Laniākea Supercluster. This finding challenges our understanding of the galaxy’s position in the universe and could mean that Laniākea is just an […]
- STAR1 Robot Breaks Record with Sneakers, Reaches 8Mph in Gobi Desert Test October 20, 2024The STAR1 robot, developed by Chinese company Robot Era, has set a new record for bipedal robots by reaching a speed of 8 mph in the Gobi Desert. Thanks to AI-powered hardware and the added boost from sneakers, STAR1 was able to navigate challenging terrains, including gravel and grass, while maintaining its top speed for […]
- Prolonged Standing Poses Circulatory Health Risks, Study Suggests October 20, 2024A study of more than 80,000 UK adults found that standing for extended periods without regular movement can raise the risk of circulatory issues like varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. While standing desks are often seen as a healthier alternative to sitting, the research shows they don’t reduce the risk of heart disease or […]
- New Project Aims to Relocate Oyamel Fir Trees to Protect Monarch Butterflies October 20, 2024An ambitious initiative in central Mexico is exploring the relocation of oyamel fir trees to secure the winter habitats of migrating monarch butterflies. Researchers have successfully planted hundreds of saplings at varying elevations to determine their survival rates in the face of climate change. With projections indicating a potential loss of oyamel forests by 2090...
- New Mini-Moon 2024 PT5: A Major Step Towards Space Mining Opportunities October 20, 2024The newly discovered mini-moon, 2024 PT5, entered Earth's orbit on September 29, 2024, and will remain until November 25. This small asteroid, measuring around 10 metres, provides a unique opportunity for researchers to study near-Earth objects and explore the viability of space mining. Experts believe that asteroids contain precious metals, which could revolutionise ...
- Can Diamond Dust Help Cool Earth? Exploring Costs and Geoengineering Risks October 19, 2024A study by Sandro Vattioni explores using 5 million tons of diamond dust annually to reduce global warming by 1.6ºC. Diamonds outperform sulfur in reflecting sunlight, but the method comes with an enormous price tag—$175 trillion. Despite its potential, experts like Douglas MacMartin question its feasibility due to costs, while others debate the overall risks […]
- Astronomers Confirm Brown Dwarf Gliese 229B as Twin Pair Orbiting in 12 Days October 19, 2024Scientists have discovered that Gliese 229B, the first brown dwarf discovered 30 years ago, is actually two brown dwarfs orbiting close to each other. This unexpected find was made using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, solving a long-standing puzzle about the object's dim appearance. The twins, Gliese 229Ba and Gliese 229Bb, orbit each other […]
- Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed October 19, 2024Recent deep-sea explorations have unveiled a remarkable ecosystem thriving beneath the Pacific Ocean's floor. Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to investigate hydrothermal vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, where two tectonic plates diverge. Beneath the seafloor, they discovered cavities harboring giant tubeworms—the largest worms known—as well ...
- How Rainwater Helped Stabilise Early Cells, Enabling Life's Complexity on Earth October 19, 2024Recent research led by Aman Agrawal, in collaboration with experts from the University of Chicago and University of Houston, uncovers the potential role rainwater played in stabilising protocells on early Earth. Their findings show how this helped prevent RNA leakage and uncontrolled mixing, allowing the formation of stable genetic material. This natural stabilisation...
- Perseverance Rover Captures Bizarre Mars Rock That Looks Like a Human Head October 19, 2024NASA’s Perseverance rover has made a bizarre discovery on Mars: a rock that strikingly resembles a human head. Captured on 27 September 2024, the image showcases the rock's peculiar shape and orientation, which play tricks on our brains, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. This occurrence leads us to see familiar patterns, like faces, in random […]
