If science could ever have been said to have a prophet… Carl Sagan was that man. All his words of warning and wisdom now seem even more disregarded than when he was with us. In a way I am sort of glad he dind’t have to witness these last 27 years to see how badly most everyone missed, or dismissed his entire lifes message.
Researchers have demonstrated a general strategy to achieve the long-term stability of plastrons (known to be unstable underwater) on aerophilic surfaces for previously unattainable underwater applications by taking inspiration from diving bell spider, Argyroneta Aquatica, which spends most of its life underwater. This can open...
Think back to any dinosaur illustration you saw as a kid. The background was almost certainly one of two things: an asteroid streaking across the sky or a volcano blowing its top. (If the illustrator was feeling extra dramatic, maybe both.)...
Lise Meitner developed the theory of nuclear fission, the process that enabled the atomic bomb. But her identity - Jewish and a woman— barred her from sharing credit for the discovery, newly translated letters show.
We have discovered a lot in this universe. Planets that orbit stars at right angles. Forbidden worlds that have cheated death. Space explosions that defy explanation....
The team developed natural-based, low-carbon building materials by using oppositely charged bio-polymer adhesives so that they can construct these innovative materials from various grains, including desert sand, sea sand, and concrete slag. Summary :...
The hydrocarbon methane is highly abundant on Earth, yet its release is now known to contribute to surges in temperature and climate change. In recent years, researchers have been trying to devise reliable methods to directly convert methane into other fuels and chemicals with valuable real-world applications....
In the last couple of years, research institutions have been working on finding new concepts of how computers can process data in the future. One of these concepts is known as neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing models may sound similar to artificial neural networks but have little to do with them....
