In the early 1500’s, Leonardo da Vinci explored gravity as a form of acceleration and modelled the gravitational constant to around 97% accuracy.

Caltech engineers have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity, although not entirely accurate, was ahead of his time by centuries.

Quantum computer modules being aligned so atoms can transfer between quantum computer microchips

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that quantum bits (qubits) can directly transfer between quantum computer microchips and demonstrated this with record-breaking speed and accuracy.

Researchers have found a solution inspired by loofah sponges that could purify enough water to meet a person’s daily needs, even on cloudy days.

The Dunhuang molten salt solar power plant will provide 390 million kWh of clean power each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3500 tons. And it can run 24-hours a day, even when the sun does not shine. It does this by storing energy in a molten salt solution for later use.

When a flame burns on earth, heated gases rise from the fire, drawing oxygen in and pushing combustion molecules out. As the flame burns, it heats the air around it and causes it to expand and rise upward. In microgravity however, hot gases do not rise.

scientist captures picture of a single atom using a normal dslr camera 550x550

David Nadlinger, a quantum physicist at the University of Oxford, has done the impossible. He captured a picture of a single atom using a normal DSLR digital camera.

Bang your head! Scientists at Stanford University created a sound that measures a whopping 270 decibels. The sound was created underwater and is believed to be the limit of how loud a sound can be.

In 1916, Albert Einstein predicted that any event that disturbs spacetime will produce ripples that spread throughout the entire Universe. He called these ripples gravitational waves. This week, one hundred years after Einstein’s prediction, scientists revealed they had finally detected gravitational waves. The discovery being called the greatest scientific advance this century. Here’s how they…

Scientists have worked for a very long time trying to figure out a theory called quantum field theory. Quantum field theory is a body of laws that describe how the tiny little particles all around us interact. Whatever the particle, we tend to think of these objects as little dots, spheres, or tiny circles. Even…

The staggering complex Large Hadron Collider (aka Atom smasher) in Geneva is already running at its highest level. Thus far, it has discovered the God particle (aka Higgs boson particle) but this week, it could transform our understanding of the universe as well as open up a portal to something, or somewhere, beyond human comprehension.…

Breakthrough! Scientists demonstrate that quantum bits can directly transfer between quantum computer microchips allowing chips to slot together like a jigsaw puzzle.

This loofah-inspired, sun-driven gel could purify all the water you’ll need in a single day.

Solar power scientists are now using molten salt to store the sun’s energy. Here’s the science of how it works.

Here’s what a flame looks like in space, where there is no gravity.

Scientists capture picture of a single atom using a normal DSLR camera.

Listen up, people. Scientists create sound so loud, it instantly boils water and ruptures internal organs.

Amazing gravitational waves discovery – what they are and why they’re so important

Get the thought that all tiny particles in our universe are shaped like little round balls out of your head!

Large Hadron Collider may rewrite physics if contact with parallel universe is successful
