The new point-circle method accurately calculates the distance (averaged over time) between two planets. It shows that Mercury is the nearest neighbor to all 7 other planets in the solar system, including Earth. In school, you have been taught...
The new integrated corner module would free automobile makers from developing essential components from scratch. It combines a wheel and an electric motor with steering, suspension, braking, and control system, all under a single unit. The...
How the universe we know came into existence? How do we explain the origin of the universe? Well, I am sure that most of you will say “the big bang” and rightfully so, every other piece of evidence and data collected over the...
Nikola Tesla was, without a doubt, one of the greatest inventors in history. Born in 1856 to a Serbian family, Tesla had always been ahead of his time. He graduated school a year early, excelled in the university where he studied electrical...
Researchers conducted a large-scale study on more than 29,000 people to test the health-related effects of dietary cholesterol. People who ate 3 to 4 eggs every week had a 6% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and 8% higher risk of...
Astronomers discovered 83 previously unknown quasars powered by supermassive black holes. These quasars are approximately 13 billion light-years away from Earth. The observations revealed that in every cubic giga-light-year there exists a...
Physicists build a new circuit that can detect very tiny quantum steps (photons) in radio frequency signals. This new quantum circuits could have a number of applications, from nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to radio astronomy. Detection of...
The new machine learning-based perception framework can recognize over 90 different objects by touch. It uses both visual and tactile observations to identify whether these observations correspond to the same object. Humans are good at associating...
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...
For graphene-like materials, 1+1 doesn’t make 2. When such atomically thin materials are stacked on top of each other their properties change drastically. This yields a new material with novel hybrid characteristics. The study provides an...
Physicists have successfully created a quantum state that moves in the opposite direction of the thermodynamic arrow of time. They have demonstrated this state in 2- and 3-qubit quantum computer. It could be used to make quantum computers more...
Researchers build a lightweight sound-canceling device using sub-wavelength metamaterial structures. It blocks 94% of noise but preserves air passage. It can block a wide range of noises, including intense vibrations of an MRI machine. The types...
