Why insects are attracted to light -moths swarming a light source

Have you ever wondered why bugs seem to always swarm around light sources? It’s a common phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for many years. There are a variety of theories available – all of them pretty sad…

The Japanese company ispace was able to communicate with its Hakuto-R spacecraft until just before it was supposed to land on the Moon, according to the company’s founder, Takeshi Hakamada. Approximately 25 minutes after the lander’s scheduled soft touchdown on the lunar surface, communication was lost. This suggests that the lander likely crashed into the…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has begun to provide new insights into the history of the universe, revealing the formation and assembly of galaxies that were previously beyond our reach. The telescope has confirmed the existence of a protocluster of seven galaxies at a distance of redshift 7.9, or a mere 650 million years after…

Politecnico di Milano recently conducted an in-depth study on a particular folio of the Codex Atlanticus, one of the largest collections of Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings and writings. This study aimed to understand the origins of black stains that appeared on the modern passepartout binding Leonardo’s original folios.

Pseudorabdion longiceps snake doing cartwheels

A recent study published in Biotropica reveals that the Dwarf Reed Snake (Pseudorabdion longiceps) has been found to perform cartwheels when threatened, making it the first time such an active rolling motion has been documented in snakes.

Astronomers have found potentially the largest black hole yet discovered. The black hole weighs around 30 billion times more than the sun and is located hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth, in the center of a galaxy.

Smoggy air pollution rising from a smokestack at a brick factory

The world is facing environmental damage and energy scarcity problems. This has led to a growing demand for sustainable and renewable energy technology development. One way to generate electricity is by using wastewater.

The first step in our ability to see is the microscopic change of a protein called rhodopsin found in the retina. This protein is responsible for converting light into signals that our brain can interpret to form images. The process occurs within an incredibly small time frame, taking only a picosecond or one-trillionth of a…

The COVID-19 pandemic has killed around 7 million people worldwide (1.1 million in the United States) and made many more people sick. Vaccines and antiviral treatments helped save many lives and reduce sickness.
