Researchers achieve detailed high-speed imaging of the microparticle impact process. The study revealed that both the surface and the particle melt to some extent at high impact velocities. The combination of high temperatures, pressures, and...
The new method can use any pliable molecule to write, store, and read data. It is cheaper and less labor-intensive as compared to DNA-based methods. The ‘reading’ averages 20 bits/second while ‘writing’ averages 8...
Different types of sensory instruments are used to determine the location and orientation of an object. The two most common of these instruments are the accelerometer and the gyroscope. When integrated into a signal device, they produce incredibly...
According to the current planetary theory, the moon was created about 4.5 billion years ago after a massive collision between earth and a wandering celestial body, with a mass slightly less than that of Mars. The impact caused a chunk of debris to...
As per the latest measurement, our galaxy weighs in at approximately 1.5 trillion solar masses. This means the Milky Way has a mass of 2.98 x 1042 kilograms. Astronomers used ESA’s Gaia and NASA’s Hubble observations to obtain this...
Today, no matter where you are, you can access a plethora of space images right at your desktop and smartphone. Those colorful images of gigantic galaxies, nebulas, and mesmerizing gas clouds never fail to dazzle us. But does space really look like...
Researchers revisit the concept of a space elevator with a minor modification. Instead of anchoring the cable on Earth, anchor it on the moon and dangle it toward Earth. This would make lunar and terrestrial gravitational pull cancel each other...
Like many other technological devices, microscopes have a very long history. The earliest microscopes contained simple magnifying glass with low power (up to 10 times). They were used to observe small insects such as fleas. The early versions of...
What is the loudest sound ever heard on earth? While it may sound challenging to answer, given the history of humankind, in reality, however, it’s easy—the Krakatoa. An average Human can hear sound frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, while...
Scientists produce an astonishingly loud sound underwater, louder than the sound of a rocket launch. It generated 270 decibels of sound pressure levels and 1GW/m2 of sound intensities. Sound is defined as a longitudinal wave created by compressions...
A New AI model can fabricate talking avatars from a single image. Developers applied this model to popular paintings, including Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa. The outcomes have some visual glitches, but they are far impressive than previous...
An inventor, or innovator, is someone who discovers a new device, method, or form that, in most cases, greatly benefits society. Despite the decades of slavery, torture, and racial discrimination over the years, a few black inventors have succeeded...
