Recent observations have corrected a long-held misconception regarding the length of a day on Uranus. New, more accurate measurements of the planet’s rotation have revealed that a full day on Uranus lasts 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds. This is 28 seconds longer than previously estimated, based on data gathered by Voyager 2 during […]

When thinking about lung cancer risk, most people likely associate it with smoking or air pollution. However, recent research has uncovered a surprising connection between the disease and the quality of our diets. Glycogen’s Role in Lung Cancer Development Researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Kentucky have identified that glycogen, a

A new type of chewing gum has shown the potential to “trap” and neutralize certain influenza and herpes viruses, based on recent studies conducted by scientists from the US and Finland. Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), which are responsible for causing oral herpes, are among the most widespread infections globally. Despite

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has just unveiled one of the wildest concept vehicles to date: the Corleo, a two-seater, four-legged robot that you control using body movements. Equipped with AI vision, it can navigate challenging terrain with ease. Sure, you could stick with a regular horse—but let’s face it, they can be unpredictable, and there’s the

Stimming, short for “self-stimulatory behavior,” is a self-soothing activity often observed in autistic individuals. It includes repetitive movements, sounds, or actions and is typically classified in medical literature under “rigid and repetitive behavior.” This perspective often portrays stimming negatively, leading health professionals, teachers, and even parents to try to prevent it. However, stimming is a

Researchers from California have created an AI-driven system that enables paralyzed individuals to speak naturally in real time, using their own voices. The innovative technology developed by teams from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, utilizes brain-computer interfaces that can measure neural activity, combined with AI that learns to

One of the most extensively studied space rocks has recently surprised scientists once again. The “mudball meteorite” Aguas Zarcas, which spent two million years in orbit without colliding with any other objects (or sustaining any damage if it did), challenges the conventional view of the “fragile” carbonaceous chondrite class to which it belongs. Public Fascination

A newly discovered state of matter has emerged within a previously identified exotic phase in a magnetic compound. In 2016, physicists Weiguo Yin, Christopher Roth, and Alexei Tsvelik from Brookhaven National Laboratory identified a unique “half-fire, half-ice” spin-state phase in Sr₃CuIrO₆, a compound of strontium, copper, iridium, and oxygen. Now, they have uncovered its opposite—a

Scientists claim to have developed the world’s smallest untethered flying robot, using a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they moved the robot’s power and control systems out of its sub-centimeter-wide body. Prof. Liwei Lin and his team at the University of California, Berkeley, are developing the robot, which measures just
