NASA’s massive SPB balloon develops an “anomaly” and crashes into the Pacific Ocean.
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.
NASA’s Webb finds water (and a new mystery) in rare Main Belt comet, Comet Read.
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…
Service members stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp, site of the most well documented case of large-scale contamination, found to have 70% higher chance of developing Parkinson’s disease.
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.
Yes, bananas are indeed radioactive and here’s how many you’d have to eat (or stand near) before you’ll die.
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.
How to Build a Solar Balloon experiment – build a solar balloon with black trash bags.
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.
New study suggests inhaling menthol can improve cognitive function.
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…
Tired of being bitten by mosquitoes? Change your soap.
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.
Scientists find mysterious “dark energy” is evenly distributed throughout space and time.
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…
Before AI turns against us, it’s helping us quickly design COVID-19 mRNA vaccine sequences that are 128-times better that the ones designed by mere mortals.
A team of researchers from Baidu Research recently developed an AI algorithm that can quickly design highly stable COVID-19 mRNA vaccine sequences, even when they were previously unattainable. The algorithm, called LinearDesign, represents a significant breakthrough in both stability and efficacy for vaccine sequences, achieving a 128-fold increase in the COVID-19 vaccine’s antibody response.
