If you are planning on hunting for UFOs (or anything else that may be hiding in the dark), you’ve probably considered purchasing some sort of night vision scope, or even a night vision camera, that can record your (potentially) extraterrestrial...
With sustainability becoming a more prevalent topic for society, more and more farmers and growers are turning to vertical farming in the 21st century. “Vertical farming is a form of controlled environment agriculture (CEA),” explains Romy Wilkin, the Business Development Manager of...
A Chinese science satellite narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic collision with debris from an exploded Russian satellite earlier this week. Part of a Russian anti-satellite missile test last November that drew worldwide condemnation, the same field of space junk recently...
New research indicates Mars may have had a liquid ocean on its surface 3 billion years ago even if the surface temperature was freezing. Furthermore, the researchers behind the study say that such an ocean may have been able to...
Space Entertainment Enterprise (S.E.E.) has announced plans for the world’s first entertainment production studio in space. With the first launch planned for the end of 2024, the new project is designed to reside aboard the Axiom Space module that will...
It’s no surprise that Americans have a problem with sugar. The average American consumes more than the recommended limit of 9.5 teaspoons of added sugar a day. In order to get around the unhealthy benefits of sugar, many individuals have...
As technology becomes more accessible to younger children, the value of educational video games increases. These video games vary in genre and age range, allowing parents to customize their child’s playtime. Many of these games claim to be educational, but...
From helping to reduce anxiety, boosting sleep to helping with weight management, the pros of physical activity outweigh the chore of doing it. Knowing the best time to exercise for maximum benefits can be essential for those looking to start...
The North Atlantic Treaties Organization (NATO) has issued a formal policy statement, which says that any attack on a member’s assets in space will be considered an attack on the entire alliance. This policy comes mere weeks after Russia put...
Watching television for more than four hours a day increases the likelihood of fatal blood clots by more than 35%, compared to watching for less than 2.5 hours a day, a new study says. Also, being more physically active overall...
The unwritten rules for beauty and style have changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. With a nice shirt and sweatpants being the uniform of zoom meetings and fewer people going out in public, many have decided there’s no...
Leading a consortium of researchers selected by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), a team from Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) is laying the foundation for a fleet of AI-controlled robotic craft designed...
NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover has found signs of a type of carbon that is associated with biological processes when found on Earth. A recent announcement that organics found in a Martian meteorite are likely not from a biological process had...
NASA funded scientists have identified a celestial “danger zone” where asteroids approaching Earth can go undetected by the system designed to spot such objects until it is too late. In the past, such space rocks have caused significant damage, even...
Chinese scientists have created a gravity manipulation chamber that simulates low gravity environments like those found on the moon. Inspired by previous research that involved levitating a frog, the “artificial moon” is expected to help the Chinese National Space Agency...
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is adding a new set of laser detectors to its arsenal, upping its array of tools in the search for signs of life beyond Earth. Designed to detect laser pulses originating from space, including...
With at least two million people dying each year from liver diseases, finding solutions is critical. Many scientists are turning to biotechnology, exploring protein manipulation and gene editing to try and restore damaged liver cells or hepatocytes. Now, one team of...
As society progresses at an ever-increasing pace, most individuals hope to learn at a similar rate. Learning, or comprehension, varies from person to person. While speed-readers and double-speed listeners seem to process information faster, are these people actually learning? A...
Electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) manufacturer Zeva has announced that its Zeva Zero flying wing airframe recently made its first successful test flights. The manufacturer of the unique, one-person craft, which looks hauntingly like a flying saucer, had previously...
Super-Earths may be the best place to search for extraterrestrial life due to their long-lived magnetic shields, according to a recent study. Scientists had previously thought that Earth-sized rocky exoplanets, meaning planets located outside of our own solar system that...
While virtual reality may be fun for some people, for others it has painful consequences. One of these consequences is virtual reality sickness, also called cybersickness, which can mimic motion sickness symptoms when in a virtual reality setting. A new...
Smart guns, meaning guns that use technology to prevent unauthorized users from firing them, are finally coming to market later this year. For proponents, such weapons have promised a viable solution to accidental gun deaths and unauthorized use of law...
China’s Chang’E-5 rover has found evidence of water molecules on the surface of the moon. Also, measurements taken by the rover indicate that the sun itself is the likely cause of the sparse yet detectable lunar water. BACKGROUND: WATER ON...
Climate change has caused significant damage to coral reefs. These reefs are extremely important as they provide food and shelter for a large diversity of fish. Some fish species are endemic to specific reefs, making their entire existence threatened when...
Astronomers studying a huge, Jupiter-like exoplanet say they have successfully detected a moon in its orbit. Although this is only the second such “exomoon” spotted thus far, the location and overall circumstances of the find supports the idea that exomoons...
Like many business sectors, the travel and hospitality industries have been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this time of financial loss, these industries are trying to get creative in encouraging more travel. Many hotels are starting to...
