Scientists are developing a 3D-printed vacuum system that aims to capture dark matter

Credit: University of Nottingham Using a specially designed 3D-printed vacuum system, scientists have developed a way to ‘capture’ dark matter with the aim of detecting domain walls. This will be an important step forward in unraveling some of the mysteries of the universe. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics have created a … Read more

Scientists investigate the origins of the Crab Nebula with the James Webb Space Telescope

Crab Nebula (MIRI and NIRCam image). Credit: ESA/Hubble Information Center A team of scientists used NASA/ESA/CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope to analyze the composition of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. Using the telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infared Instrument) and NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), the team collected data that will … Read more

At the intersection of neuroscience and technology, a groundbreaking study has emerged where scientists have successfully mapped brain activity using ultrasound. This innovative approach, described in an article published May 29, 2024 in Science Translational Medicine, marks a significant advance in brain imaging techniques.The research team, led by Richard Andersen of the California Institute of … Read more

Scientists may have finally figured out where paranoia lives in the brain

Often dismissed as an irrational or exaggerated sense of worry, paranoia extends from a very rational ability to keep our wits about us in a chaotic environment. If we can adapt quickly, we can stay alive when circumstances do change. At the extreme, however, delusions in the evil intentions of others can be socially isolating, … Read more

5 discoveries in space that scientists find difficult to explain

Each bright spot in this image, the first all-sky image by eRosita, is black hole or a neutron star.

Could there be an invisible planet lurking on the edge of our planet? solar system? Can black holes ricochet through space like intergalactic billiard balls? Did our own galaxy’s black hole ‘wake up’ with a bang millions of years ago – and could it do so again? These may not be the questions that first … Read more

Scientists find a surprising ingredient in exoplanet cake mix: sulfur dioxide

a blue haze partially covers the view of a large burning yellow and orange star. A smaller orb, a planet, passes in front of the star within the haze.

A ‘hot Neptune’ exoplanet It has been discovered that there is sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere – an atmosphere that also spews into space as the planet orbits its star in a steeply inclined orbit every three and a third days. The existence of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of the exoplanet, named GJ 3470b … Read more

The discovery by Chinese scientists paves the way for the mechanical production of hybrid rice seeds

“For hybrid seed of the next generation productionthe use of male sterile lines with small grains to mechanically separate small hybrid seeds from the mixed crop is promising,” they said. The challenge was to find a gene that can cause a rice line to have a small grain size without reducing the number of seeds … Read more
