Researchers examine data of 7 million stars obtain from Gaia space observatory. They found 30,000 stars moving in odd-directions in our galaxy. These stars belong to a different galaxy named Gaia-Enceladus. The assembly of the Milky Way galaxy can...
Researchers simulate a miniature brain to analyze how bees count things. They found that bees can count up to 5 items with just four brain cells. The study shows that intelligence doesn’t necessarily require large-size brains. Many...
Astronomers found a new class of exoplanets orbiting too close to their host stars. These so-called super-Earths consist largely of aluminum, calcium and their oxides such as ruby and sapphires. Most planets and exoplanets (planets outside our...
A new study shows that organically farmed food is much worse for the environment than non-organic food. Since organic farming requires more land to produce food, it indirectly contributes to greater deforestation, and thus carbon dioxide emission. ...
Researchers develop a new optical cable that can transmit data at the rate of one petabit (1000 terabits) per second. The fiber is as fine as a human hair and less prone to damage. Fiber optic cables have revolutionized the network...
The new study suggests dark matter is blowing like a hurricane in the Milky Way region. It might leave signals that could be detected in future dark matter searches. Scientists were surprised when they first noticed that galaxies do not rotate by...
To make things secure, it necessary to adapt truly random encryption keys that can’t be reverse-engineered. Researchers use human T cells to create encryption keys. These keys posses maximum entropy and make it impossible to breach the...
Saturn’s ring particles are flowing into the planet at the rate of 432 – 2870 kilograms per second. At this rate, the rings will be gone in less than 300 million years. The rings of Saturn make the 2nd largest planet a standout in our...
A startup named ClimaCell uses wireless networks to track and predict the weather. It can track weather in every 500-meter patch of the Earth’s surface, and update data every minute. It’s far accurate than radar and satellite weather...
Researchers use liquid crystal elastomers to deform structures in three dimensions. It could lead to the development of solar panels that follow sunlight (like sunflower) for improved energy capture. A variety of reconfigurable microstructures on...
Whenever something shocking happens in our lives, most of the times any simpler explanation of the event doesn’t seem satisfying. We try to scrutinize and dig deeper to find appropriate explanations for that. Sometimes those theories are based...
A new technique unlocks more information from sonar signals than ever before. The additional data could enhance the performance of passive sonar systems, seismic surveying systems, and medical imaging equipment. The field of acoustics involves all...
