Science and technology, explained simply
Silent worms are microscopic invertebrates known for their ability to survive and reproduce even under the most unfavorable conditions: in darkness, extreme cold and heat, high pressure, very salty environments, and even in a space vacuum. Scientists have been able to decipher one of their superpowers – the ability to easily tolerate the complete absence […]
Scientists have shown a unique natural phenomenon called snow rolls/doughnuts or wind snowballs. These are multilayered bundles of snow that usually have a void inside. They can be both large and small. This was reported by the National Antarctic Research Center. A rare phenomenon that strikes with beauty As the Center emphasizes, this phenomenon is […]
Recently, the eighth time in history that an asteroid was detected in a short period of time – only 95 minutes before its approach – was recorded, and it happened in the sky over Germany. After its explosion in the atmosphere, an active search campaign began for the remnants that could have survived reentry and […]
The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, together with a group of like-minded people, is building a giant clock that is designed to last 10,000 years. They want to make this project a symbol of “long-term thinking” and inspire people to think beyond the limited time of their lives. The idea of a 10,000-year clock is […]
American scientists have developed an artificial intelligence-based device for early diagnosis of the three most common types of cancer. The FDA has issued a permit for its use This was reported by New Atlas. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the first artificial intelligence-based portable medical device, DermaSensor, to help doctors detect […]
The results may provide convincing evidence of how the feathery feathers on protowings and tails were used by dinosaurs and why they evolved in animals at all. Researchers have created a special dinosaur robot to understand how this species used its protowings. This is reported by IFLScience. “Many miniature non-avian dinosaurs are known to have […]
The Japanese space agency JAXA has announced the details of the SLIM module’s landing on the Moon. The landing went smoothly, but as a result, the vehicle overturned. Apparently, at an altitude of 50 meters, while performing an obstacle avoidance maneuver, the thrust of one of the module’s two main engines disappeared, leading to an […]
In 2021, a historic event took place on Mars: aviation appeared on it. It was Ingenuity – literally a smartphone with a propeller – and this Martian helicopter has been traveling around Mars for the past three years. But he recently flew a flight: at the end of his 72nd flight, he damaged the propeller […]
Aquifers around the world are shrinking, according to a study by scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Lead author Debra Perrone noted that their study, which covers more than 1,700 aquifers, was the world’s largest analysis of global groundwater levels. Over three years, scientists collected and analyzed data from millions of water level […]
Two small lunar rovers called LEV1 and LEV2, which Japan’s Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) managed to free before the landing, took pictures of the inverted lander and transmitted them to Earth. According to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Lunar Excursion Vehicle 2 (LEV2) lunar rover, which is shaped like a ball, […]
