Medicine & TechnologyWater is concrete's ultimate enemy. Although concrete withstands constant beatings from cars and trucks, water can break it down, pool on its surface and infiltrate the tiniest cracks. Add freezing and thawing cycles, and it's no wonder roads need frequent repairs.
Mosquitoes take weird insect flight to new heights buzzing bloodsuckers flap their long wings in narrow strokes really, really fast and more than 800 times per second in males.
The researchers observed something that should be impossible, a massive bloom of phytoplankton growing under Arctic sea ice in conditions that should have been far too dark for anything requiring photosynthesis to survive. So, how was this blooms possible
A group of astronomers from Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics or CFA developed a cosmic simulation. This simulation may presume the possible future of the moon of the exoplanetary system around a dwarf star.
NASA pulled off a scientific double play in Hawaii this winter, using the same instruments and aircraft to study both volcanoes and coral reefs. Besides helping scientists understand these two unique environments better, the data will be used to evaluate the possibility of preparing a potential future NASA satellite that would monitor ecosystem changes and natural hazards.
Cosmic convention or cosmic arrangement is also defined by a Galaxy formation. After the post-Big Bang period, the high-density and the high-temperature state expanded and formed this endless Universe.
NASA has selected a science mission that will untangle the complexities of the interstellar medium, and map out large sections of the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Disappointedly all the hype and speculation surrounding the Model 3 Dashboard is going to be falsified when Elon mask responded via tweeter. He claimed that Upcoming Model 3 will have comparably fewer features than Model S.
A group of researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has built a 3D printed robotic skin. They affirmed that the function of the device is inspired by the golden tortoise beetle or goldbug.
Curators at the National Museum of Scotland have made an exceptional discovery inside a World War II service envelope with a hand-written note. The writing distinguishes the contents, a remarkably preserved mummy shroud, as being from an ancient Egyptian tomb originally built around 1290 BC.
A group of researchers from the University of California Riverside found an aromatic hydrocarbon molecule in car engine exhaust. This molecule presumes for the contribution of the early stage of the universe.
German scientists have constructed a powerful new light system that can focus energy equivalent to the radiation of 10,000 suns onto a single spot. Eventually, they hope, this “artificial sun” could be used to produce environmentally-friendly fuels.
Professor Bengt Svensson and his co-workers are currently developing a solar panel using nanotechnology. They claimed that the newest panel is superior in terms of efficiency as well as environment-friendly.
New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed that the outer parts of massive disc galaxies 10 billion years ago were rotating less quickly than the spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, that we see today. This ESOcast Light summarizes the important points of this discovery and the significance of the dark matter, and how it is distributed.
