As for we presently know, there is a solitary expanding blob of spacetime speckled with trillions of galaxies - that is our Universe. If there are others, forming a multiverse, we have no riveting evidence for their existence. Theories of cosmology, quantum physics, and the very philosophy of science have some issues that could be...
All over the world, farming methods have been established as a feature of topography, soil type, plant kind, yearly rainfall, and custom. This mosaic of six images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Discharge and Representation Radiometer (ASTER) sensing unit on NASA's Terra satellite shows differences in field geometry and size in different parts of...
Scientists from Beihang University, the Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology and the Michigan Institute of Translational Nanotechnology produced a synthetic enamel. Such Synthetic enamel as similar properties to natural tooth enamel. Article published in the journal Science. Its title: Multiscale engineered artificial tooth enamel, Science (2022). The article illustrates how well the new synthetic material compare...
A Desert Full of Life Satellite images of the Sahara desert show a dry expanse, the endless rolling dunes we know from movies. Except typical satellite images do not reveal individual trees; however, that doesn't always mean they're not there. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen and NASA trained artificial intelligence to recognize trees and have them take another...
The Comeback According to the Guardian, at the peak of the commercial whaling industry, just 1,500 humpback whales were left alive. However, this week, Australian environment minister Sussan Ley announced the removal of the species from the endangered wildlife list. Ley told the independent news channel that removing the humpback from the endangered species list is...
Seeing beneath our feet Researchers are hoping a significant advancement in quantum sensor technology that is being refed to as an "Edison moment" has worldwide implications. A new study in Nature details one of the first practical uses of quantum sensing, a since mostly theoretical technology that combines quantum physics and the study of Earth's gravity to look below...
The logo of Swiss bank Credit Suisse is seen at its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland March 24, 2021. Credit: Arnd Wiegmann | Reuters Credit Suisse faces fresh scrutiny from Swiss regulators and the European Parliament after leaked data purported to reveal the bank had served human rights abusers, corrupt politicians, and businessmen under sanctions for...
Credit: University of Cambridge Scientists have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials that could be used to develop realistic artificial hands and other soft robotics applications. The low-cost jelly-like materials, developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge, can sense strain, temperature, and humidity. Furthermore, unlike earlier self-healing robots, they can additionally partially repair themselves at room...
The Oral Microbiome and Naturally Occurring Alveolar Bone Loss: An Experimental Investigation It is increasingly obvious that the collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that dwell on and within us—the human microbiome—significantly benefits our health. The microbiome as a supplement has been described as a management tool for immune cells that affect bone health in...
Study reveals that the speed of cognitive information processing stays exceptionally stable over decades Mental speed-- the speed at which we can manage problems needing quick decision-making-- does not change significantly over the years. Psychologists at Heidelberg University came to this conclusion under the leadership of Dr. Mischa von Krause and Dr. Stefan Radev. They...
