Quantum Sensor Can Identify Electromagnetic Signs of Any Frequency

Physics, Quantum Physics, Science /

Quantum sensors, which identify the most minute variations in magnetic or electrical fields, have permitted precision measurements in materials science and fundamental physics. These sensors can only detect a few specific frequencies of these fields, restricting their utility. Now, scientists at MIT have developed a technique to enable such sensors to spot any arbitrary frequency […]

Comet With 500,000 Miles Long Tail Will Fly by Earth and You Will Be Able to See It

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Science /

Amateur astronomers may very soon be able to see a comet initially spotted in 2017. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), abridged as K2 for brief, was once the most distant active comet ever before pinpointed, a difference it recently ceded to the mega comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, found out last year. However, even without a superlative, K2 is

This Biohacker Became the First Person to Edit His Own DNA

Biology, Biotechnology, Genetics, Science /

Josiah Zayner is the first individual known to have modified his personal DNA and he revealed the planet just how easy it is to do, live-streaming the process on his blog, “Science, Art, Beauty”. Zayner claims this was the second time he has genetically changed himself. Utilizing CRISPR, a fairly new gene-editing method, he took

Does the Brain Learn in the Same Manner that Machines Learn?

Applied Science, Neuroscience, Science /

Identifying how neural activity changes with learning is anything but black and white. Recently, some have presumed that learning in the brain, or biological learning, may be visualized in terms of optimization, which is how learning happens in artificial networks like computers or robots. A new approaches piece co-authored by Carnegie Mellon University and University

Track Marine Archaeologists Seeking Icy Antarctic Seas for Ernest Shackleton’s ‘Endurance’

Archaeology, Science, Social /

A group aboard a modern icebreaker will check the site with state-of-the-art underwater drones in hopes of finding the historic vessel. Marine archaeologists are looking for a historic century-old shipwreck, Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance, in some of the most dangerous seas on earth, reports Henry Fountain of the New York Times. Endurance is “one of the

Astronomers Find a Multiplanet System Nearby

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

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 NASA.
