Archeologists Use Satellite Imagery to Finally Solve a Great Mystery Surrounding the Ancient Pyramids
Despite the Great Pyramids of Giza being one of the most studied archeological sites in the world, they still remain quite a mystery to experts. Most notably, archeologists could never seem to definitively explain how they were built, as the stone building materials were likely sourced quite far away.
Conservationists Release Endangered Baby Sea Turtles Back Into the Ocean With Satellite Trackers, Here’s Why
Sea turtles are in trouble, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reporting that there are likely only around 25,000 of them left in the wild. Now, conservationists in Thailand are trying to combat their dwindling numbers.
Farming On Mars Might Be Harder Than Matt Damon Made it Look!
Recreating Martian soil has revealed yet another hurdle for life on Mars.
Dinosaurs Were Actually Not in Decline When The Asteroid Hit
Experts now say dinosaurs would have likely continued to dominate the planet had it not been for the asteroid.
Are Your Teeth and Bones Made of Dead Stars That Once Blew Up?
Calcium-rich supernova, or stellar explosions, produce huge amounts of calcium in just seconds. And now, scientists have managed to capture one with X-ray imaging for the first time.
Astronomers Detect Solar Flare in 7 Years Following Recent Epic Aurora Display
Last week the Sun let out an epic roar in the form of an X-class flare. That wasn’t particularly out of the ordinary, especially as the Sun approaches the apex of its 11-year solar cycle. However, the resulting coronal mass ejection happened to coincide with our planetary orbit, meaning it came right at us. Now the Sun has released an even more powerful flare.
This Gold Nanoparticle Gel Could Spell the End for Hangovers
After a night out drinking a lot of us wake up the next morning feeling terrible. However, a new gel being developed by materials scientists at ETH Zurich, could prevent a hangover before it ever even begins.
Astronomers Discover an Enormous Planet Made of Something as Light as Cotton Candy
Oftentimes when astronomers discover new exoplanets they’re molten hot hellscapes or solid frozen spheres of ice. However, WASP-193b which resides 1,232 light-years is a little different.
Chinese Company Reveals Suite of In-Development Robot Astronauts
We’ve seen robot dogs helping in disaster zones and robots building cars, but have you ever seen a robot in space? This is what its developers say could be the astronaut assistants of the future, humanoid robots that move through space stations just like humans and more.
New Campaign Wants to Include Humans in the Definition of ‘Nature’, Here’s Why
Are humans part of nature anymore? It would be easy to make an argument either for or against. However, a new campaign is hoping to include us and it’s all to help our planet.
Is The Universe Simply The Human Brain Enlarged?
Are the similarities between the universe and the human brain deeper than we thought?
How Can This Gigantic Balloon Help Study Stars?
NASA has started working on the ASTHROS mission, that will use a football stadium-sized balloon to carry a telescope up into the stratosphere over Antarctica.
You Have To See One of the Deepest Gorges on Earth
'Tiger Leaping Gorge' is said to be one of China's best hikes. It's around 13 miles in total, taking about 8 to 10 hours total to complete.
This Newly Engineered Plastic Eats Itself After Use
Humanity’s reliance on plastics continues to grow, despite environmental concerns and finding microplastics inside the human body. Enter this new type of plastic, one that literally eats itself once it is no longer needed.
The Saharan Sprawl That Occurred 5,500 Years Ago Could Help Humanity Better Understand and Prepare for Climate Change Today
When the climate tipping point is reached there will be a cascade of changes to our planet, resulting in a domino effect that could test humanity’s very survival. Now experts point to a change in Africa 5,500 years ago, one that could be the clearest analogue for what we might be about to go through.
Scientists Create Synthetic Molecule That Traps the ‘Most Potent’ Greenhouse Gasses
Greenhouse gasses are a problem. They’re warming our planet and causing a climate catastrophe the likes of which mankind has never dealt with. Enter a new synthetic molecule that was created in a lab, which its developers say is the first of its kind as it can literally trap greenhouse gasses within it.
Impact on Earth 4.5 Billion Years Ago May Have Kicked off Plate Tectonics
Around 4.5 billion years ago a giant object around the size of Mars crashed into the proto-planet Earth, called Theia. This essentially redid the planet and created the Moon, but new research suggests it also changed the way Earth would behave for the rest of its days.
After a Massive Cosmic Explosion, You Can Witness the Birth of a Magnetar
"We know that magnetars exist because we see them in our galaxy. We think most of them are formed in the explosive deaths of massive stars, leaving these highly magnetized neutron stars behind. However, it is possible that a small fraction form in neutron star mergers. We have never seen evidence of that before, let alone in infrared light, making this discovery special," said Northwestern University astrophysicist Wen-fai Fong, who led the research.
The Science Behind ‘Cute Aggression’
Ever see a puppy or baby that's so cute, you just wanted to squeeze it?! Here's why.
Can You Identify the Gender of Dinosaurs?
A team led by Queen Mary University of London researchers found it's actually very difficult to identify differences between sexes from dinosaur fossils, which challenges past studies.
