Down Goes Antimatter! Gravity’s Effect on Matter’s Elusive Twin is Revealed

Credit: The conversation In a groundbreaking laboratory experiment, scientists have definitively determined the trajectory of individual antihydrogen atoms when dropped, concluding that antimatter falls downwards. This discovery confirms the gravitational attraction between antimatter and regular matter, eliminating the possibility of gravitational repulsion as an explanation for the scarcity of antimatter in the observable universe. Researchers from...

An Enigmatic Unseen Influence Is Producing Water on the Moon.

Credit: Pixaobay While we are aware of the existence of lunar ice, its origin remains somewhat uncertain. A recent investigation proposes that streams of electrons, which indirectly originate from both Earth and the Sun, are playing a role in the creation of frozen water on the Moon's surface. These electrons impact the Moon when it traverses...

By employing NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a group of astronomers from around the world has detected a fresh, substantial, and compact exoplanet. This recently discovered extraterrestrial planet, named TOI-332 b, ranks among the...

5 Reasons to Halt Biomass Imports for Bioenergy

Incorrect way of using biomass for energy generation. Co-authored by Rita Frost, this post delves into the environmental impacts of biomass. Whether using wood or fossil fuels for energy, both contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbate climate change. The practice of importing biomass or fossil fuels for energy production has significant consequences for climate change...

Human irresponsibility, through less environmentally-friendly practices and the emission of harmful gases, is the root cause of the climate changes occurring worldwide"- Verônica Choconeza Verônica Choconeza Startup Nzolani Renewable CEO,Veronica. Veronica Choconesa is an engineer who works with drilling for oil and gas. She cares a...

New Telescope Instruments Will Investigate the Universe For Water

Credit: Pexels Since water plays a crucial role in supporting life forms based on carbon, scientists actively search for it when exploring the potential for extraterrestrial life. This includes investigating other planets through probes and using space-based telescopes to observe the cosmos. Detecting water from Earth-based instruments is considerably challenging. However, recently developed water-detecting receivers,...

Research Suggests Cleaner Air May Be Possible with a Cold Catalytic Converter

Credit: Pexels The exhaust system of a car includes a component known as a three-way catalytic converter, which is comprised of costly materials and functions optimally within a specific temperature range of several hundred degrees Celsius. As described in a journal article in Science, a team of scientists led by Emiel Hensen has demonstrated that modifying...
