Over the past century, IQ scores in the United States have shown a significant increase. According to a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” IQ scores have been increasing by around three to five points per decade. However, a recent study by Northwestern University found evidence of a reverse Flynn effect in a large U.S.…

Building infrastructure in space is currently prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve. In order to make future space construction more feasible, it will be necessary to rely on simple materials that are easily available to astronauts. StarCrete offers one possible solution.

Recently, a team of Japanese researchers has identified the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB.1.5 variant prevalent in the Western hemisphere, which has high transmissibility and infectivity, and is a cause of concern for public health.

James Web Space Telescope detailed observations of WR 124 Wolf Rayet star

In June 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope made one of its first observations, capturing the rare sight of a Wolf-Rayet star in unprecedented detail. The star, WR 124, is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is 15,000 light-years away.

Black widow spiders have earned a fearsome reputation for their venomous bite. But in parts of the southern United States these spiders have much to fear themselves—from their brown widow spider relatives who really don’t like their company.

A recently developed scale for atmospheric river intensity can be used to identify the hotspots of the most intense atmospheric rivers worldwide. The study shows that this scale, which ranks atmospheric rivers from AR-1 to AR-5 based on their duration and moisture transport, is no longer just a meteorological term, but it also helps communities…
