The 99-million-yr-old ant had scythe-like jaws that swung upward to pin prey against a horn-like head appendage. Some 99 million years back, an ant, unlike any alive today, was in the middle of a savage scythe-jawed strike when dripping plant resin froze the insect and its prey in a final predatory tableau. New study research […]

After running for a decade, there were high expectations that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the colossal accelerator at CERN, would uncover new particles that could aid in the understanding of the most profound mysteries in physics. Possibilities such as dark matter, miniature black holes, and concealed dimensions were considered. Despite the discovery of the
Did the scientists at CERN discover proof of completely novel physics? Read More »
Machine learning models have consistently struggled with topics like multivariable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, which many MIT students can easily master. Best Version The best versions have only been able to answer elementary or high-school-level mats questions, and they do not always find the correct solutions. At present, a group of researchers with

By subjecting a droplet of water to extreme temperatures similar to those found in stars, using a powerful laser, and squeezing it between two diamonds, was found water on another stage named, superionic. The “weird black” water abides under equal pressures and temperature levels as those at the center of Earth. This discovery could potentially
Atoms are notoriously tough to regulate. They move in a zigzag pattern similar to fireflies, can escape from the most durable containers, and even exhibit random movements at temperatures close to absolute zero. For quantum tools like atomic clocks or quantum computers to function properly, researchers must be able to capture and manipulate individual atoms.

For the first time, dark matter from twelve billion years ago has been detected. A group of scientists from Nagoya College in Japan has collaborated to investigate the dark matter surrounding galaxies as they appeared twelve billion years ago, which is billions of years further back in time than ever explored before. The results they

Typically 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 is only one issue: the full Moon. NASA astronomer Bill Cooke, who leads the Meteoroid Environment Office at
The Perseids Meteor Shower is Back, but Not Exactly Read More »
The space telescope’s powerful infrared gaze offers a new sight of just how the galaxy has changed throughout billions of years. The James Webb Space Telescope, belonging to NASA, has gazed into the disarray of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing fresh insights into star formation and the central black hole of the galaxy. Using its potent

Doctors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say an abnormally high number of harmful viral infections have been detected among infants throughout the United States this year, including one uncommonly large cluster of almost two dozen cases at a single hospital in Tennessee. The infections- a result of a typical parechovirus- can set
A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that when we experience surprise, our brains are more likely to be attentive. Researchers, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, discovered that a hormone called noradrenaline can impact brain activity and behavior in response to unexpected events. Noradrenaline is one of several chemicals that can produce
