The maximum possible mass of the lightest neutrino is 1.5 x 10-37 Kilograms. Determining the mass of the neutrinos can help scientists precisely measure the acceleration of the universe. The mass of the neutrino — an elementary particle...
During the 5th-6th century, people used to distort children skulls by applying force. It was done to distinguish members of different cultural groups in Central Europe. In 2013, archaeologist found the remains of three teenagers in Osijek, a city...
Amazon rainforest is burning at a record rate and the situation is getting worse year by year. NASA’s satellite imagery shows that fires in 2019 are more intense than in previous years. Amazon, also called the ‘lungs of the...
By the total number of people killed every year, the mosquito is the deadliest animal on the planet. There are about 3,500 mosquito species known to us. However, only a few of them feed on human blood and transmit life-threatening diseases...
The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine a 46,225 mm2 chip consisting of 1.2 trillion transistors and 40,000 AI-optimized cores. The chip has 3,000 times more capacity and 10,000 times greater bandwidth than the largest GPU available in the market. In the...
Researchers mix human cells into monkey embryos. The aim is to convert animals of other species into factories of organs for transplants. The research was carried out in China to escape European laws. In recent years, the combination of two major...
MIT researchers present a simple projection of the impact of climate change on silicon photovoltaic cells’ performance. On average, the output of the photovoltaic cell decreases by 0.45 percent for every single degree increase in temperature...
Researchers revealed a new state of matter: topological superconductivity. This topological state can be fine-tuned to boost storage and speed up calculations in quantum computing. Physicists at New York University have found a new thing that can...
In 2016, the French government invested over $5 million in building a one-kilometer long solar road. The model has proven to be neither energy-efficient nor economically viable. The trial is now over, as the road has become cracked and damaged. ...
Researchers transform 20 entangled quantum bits into Schrödinger cat states. This breaks the old record of 14 qubits which was established in 2011. Such superimposed states could provide an important resource for various applications, ranging from...
Three physicists get a high-profile recognition, more than 4 decades after they came up with modern field theory – supergravity. Daniel Freedman, Sergio Ferrara, and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen have won $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in...
Researchers built a new software program to make biological analysis easy. It processes large datasets automatically and enables interactive visualization, fast and precise alignment, and real-time fusion. Modern light microscopic methods —...
