China's "Planetary Defense System" has been capturing momentum recently, with Beijing researchers now planning to...

Astronomers Have Spotted A Record-Breaking Magnetic Field in Space, And It Is Epic

A pulsar with its jets and magnetic fields. Credit: NASA Far out in the Milky Way, about 22,000 light-years from Earth, a star unlike any other roars with a magnetic power that beats anything physicists have seen before. At an enormous 1.6 billion Tesla, a pulsar named Swift J0243.6+6124 smashes the previous records of around one...

Bees and Hoverflies Gobble False Pollen, Profiting Both Insect and Plant

A hoverfly exits the blossom of a Cypripedium wardii orchid after having fed on its pseudopollen (whitish powder visible at the lip of the pouchlike blossom). Credit: ZHENG CHEN-CHEN Research suggests pollinators, like bees and hoverflies, find the fake pollen of at least one orchid species delicious. Orchids are among the most untrustworthy flowering plants on...

How to Stop Cathodic Corrosion of Steel Electrodes in Electroorganic Synthesis

Sustainability is a crucial concern in business and industry these days. Many firms acknowledge the demand to find the very best possible climate-neutral options for producing their products and decreasing contaminants. This indicates they are searching for manufacturing alternatives that do not call for using fossil resources. Great potential in this regard is seen...

China’s “Artificial Sun” has Just Broken a New World Record

China has reached a new milestone in humanity's experiments to control the power of the stars. In May, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' fusion machine reached 120 million degrees Celsius and remained at that temperature for 101 seconds. The last time the EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak or HT-7U) withstood a plasma vortex for so long...
