An image from the super computer simulation of the creation of the Moon. Credit: Durham UniversityResearchers from Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology used the most precise supercomputer simulations ever, revealing an alternative for how the Moon formed 4.5 billion years ago. It showed that a colossal impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body...
Cooling paper by Ruby Wallau / Northeastern UniversityThe "cooling paper," an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning, is crafted from recyclable paper and does not require electricity to operate. Air conditioning is typically taken for granted until there is a power outage and it ceases to function. But what if staying cool could be achieved...
A shower of Perseid meteors lights up the sky in 2009 in this NASA time-lapse image. Credit: NASA/JPLTypically bringing one of the most stunning yearly meteor showers visible in Earth's night sky, typically providing 50-100 "shooting stars" per hour at its peak, the Perseids are going to peak on Aug. 12 and 13. There...
MIT astronomers have discovered a new multiplanet system that exists just 10 parsecs, or approximately 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own. The star at the system's heart likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets. Credit: MIT News, with TESS Satellite figure courtesy of...
More than 300 people in 21 nations outside Africa have been infected with the illness.Monkeypox (orange), shown infecting monkey cells (green) in this colorized electron micrograph, has spread to multiple countries outside Africa. The large outbreak is unusual for the virus, which is transmitted by close contact. NIAID/FLICKR (CC BY 2.0)An outbreak of monkeypox...

The new Apple Watch platform includes a large upgrade to fitness functions with boosted metrics that include distance and time intervals. As an example, you will realize when to slow down for recovery.Likewise, there are heart rate zones (for both sleep and...
Scientists create “time machine” simulations studying the lifecycle of ancestor galaxy cities. Credit: Scitech Daily.Scientists have produced simulations that directly recreate the complete life cycle of a few of the biggest collections of galaxies observed.Several processes in astrophysics take a very long time, making their evolution tricky to study. A star like our sun...
