Science and technology, explained simply
A group of scientists from England has conducted a study that has helped them learn how to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which leads to gradual visual impairment. This is reported by SciTechDaily. They have developed a new method of growing eye cells. For this purpose, nanotechnology was used to create a three-dimensional structure on […]
NASA’s Perseverance rover has again recorded a weather phenomenon on Mars that is similar to what can be found in desert regions of the Earth. The “dust devil” on the western edge of the Martian crater Jezero was captured. According to the team’s calculations, at that moment the tornado was about 4 km from the […]
After conducting a large-scale study, scientists have discovered the hidden and beneficial effects of common pastimes on men’s mental health and mental development. There comes a time in many people’s lives when they turn their attention to amateur fishing, which seemed boring and mundane. Perhaps we should all try this type of recreation, not only […]
This week, the Martian unmanned helicopter Ingenuity made its 60th flight over the surface of the Red Plate. According to NASA, the drone managed to set a new speed record. The anniversary flight took place on September 25, 2023. The unmanned aerial vehicle was able to climb to a height of 16 meters and cover […]
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has successfully completed his mission and returned to Earth, setting a new record for the longest time an American astronaut has been in orbit. This is reported by NASA and The Times. It is noted that the man spent 371 days in orbit. Rubio, along with his Russian colleagues, cosmonauts Sergei […]
Sharks and many other animals do not need dentists, because they simply replace old teeth with new ones. The high specialization of human teeth (each one has its own unique purpose) is one of the reasons why we can’t do this and instead have to spend huge amounts of money on dentists. But the Japanese […]
The second heart transplantation of a GMO pig was again performed by scientists from the University of Maryland. A man with heart failure volunteered. Currently, there are no signs of organ rejection – the results look optimistic. In the near future, the team plans to obtain approval to test the technology in clinical trials. In […]
On September 24, at 03:38 UTC, a Falcon 9 rocket was launched from the SLC-40 launch complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The carrier sent 22 Starlink v2 mini broadband satellites into low Earth orbit. This was the record 17th flight for the rocket’s first stage: B1060 successfully landed on the Just Read the […]
A new study shows that a child’s success at school largely depends on how much time and how they spend with their parents. Although parents may be tempted to lie on the couch after a hard day at work, scientists warn that it is better to spend some time with your own child. The results […]
