Scientists have discovered the oldest human-made mechanical plans dating between 7,000 and 8,000 years old.

Distribution and characterization of desert kites

Scientists have discovered the oldest scale plans of a human-made megastructure. These engravings, estimated to be between 7,000 and 8,000 years old, illustrate nearby desert kites, which were vast structures used to trap animals.

Astronomers have found a planet outside of our solar system that is the same size as Earth. It is called LP 791-18 d and the scientists believe it may have volcanoes on its surface.

NASA’s second super pressure balloon (SPB) carrying EUSO-2 had a successful launch today and was in flight for more than 24 hours. However, it developed a leak, and as a safety measure, flight controllers decided to terminate the flight over the Pacific Ocean, near New Zealand.

Water on Comet 238P in place where it seems it shouldn’t be Researchers have made a major discovery about the origins of Earth’s water, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope’s NIRSpec tool has confirmed that water vapor is present around a comet in the main asteroid belt, suggesting that water ice from the…

These findings imply that exposure to trichloroethylene in water may increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease, which is a concern worldwide due to the widespread presence of this environmental contaminant.

It may come as a shock to you but some of the food that we eat is radioactive. Bananas are one such food. They contain about 450mg of potassium, some of which is potassium-40 which is, you heard it here first, radioactive. In fact, 50 bananas are about as radioactive as a dental x-ray.

Black solar balloon made from black plastic panels

Building a solar balloon is a fun and educational activity for anyone interested in science and engineering. It is a type of hot air balloon that uses the sun’s energy to heat the air inside the balloon, lower the air’s density, and causing it to rise.

A recent study conducted by researchers at Cima University of Navarra in Spain has found that the inhalation of menthol can enhance cognitive ability in animal models. The study revealed that repeated short exposures to menthol can help regulate the immune system and prevent cognitive decline, a common symptom of the neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer’s. The…

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to attract mosquitoes while others don’t? Well, a team of researchers from Virginia Tech recently discovered that certain soaps can actually make you more attractive or repellent to mosquitoes, depending on your unique odor profile.

The energetic universe as seen with the eROSITA X-ray telescope

In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble made a groundbreaking discovery while observing distant galaxies: the universe is expanding. However, it wasn’t until 1998 that the observation of Type Ia supernovae led to the further discovery that the universe is not just expanding, but also experiencing accelerated expansion. Astrophysicist Joe Mohr from LMU explains that to account…
