The Garmin Index BPM Smart Blood Pressure Monitor lets users determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The Smart Blood Pressure Monitor will sync your data with the Garmin Connect mobile app...
Artist's illustration of a small Saturn-like planet discovered in the system LkCa 15. The planet resides within dense rings of dust and gas that surround a bright yellow star. Material accumulates in a clump and arc-shape, about 60 degrees away from the planet. Note: illustration is not to scale.Credit: M.Weiss/Center for Astrophysics | Harvard...
Credit: BBC UK.The quantity of time it takes a light particle to pass a hydrogen molecule was measured by a team of researchers to produce the smallest unit of time ever. A trillionth of a billionth of a 2nd is the unit of measurement known as a zeptoseconds. That consists of a decimal point,...

A team of physicists from Martin Luther College Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) achieved this for the first time. They report on their work in...
Researchers observed bright flares of X-ray emissions. Image credit: Dan WilkinsResearchers at Stanford University have actually located a strange pattern while seeing the X-rays from the supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy 800 million light-yrs away. The black hole, it seems, is spewing out these rays into the universe around it.Dan...
NASA is preparing for its next Moon landing, and it is ordering new spacesuits for the journey. It has granted Axiom Space a $228.5 million contract to make a "moonwalking system" for the agency's return to the lunar surface.Axiom was among two firms in the running to make spacesuits for NASA's Artemis program, which...
When squeezed to high pressure between two diamonds (shown), a material made of carbon, sulfur and hydrogen can transmit electricity without resistance at room temperature.It is here: Researchers have reported the exploration of the first room-temperature superconductor after more than one century of waiting.The discovery evokes daydreams of futuristic technologies which could improve electronics...
