As the youthful universe congealed under the pull of gravity, matter knotted itself into galaxies, galaxy clusters and filaments, weaving a dazzlingly intricate cosmic web. This web’s structure is thanks, in part, to the handiwork of neutrinos — lightweight, subatomic particles that surge through the cosmos in unimaginable numbers. Because they streak about at high…

We’re born, we live, and we die but new studies exploring the phenomenon of dead cells taking on new functions after death, also known as the “third state,” is complicating that picture. In a research review, two biologists explore the latest research in this growing field of xenobots and anthrobots that appear to live on…

Dan Hirschfeld 09/20/2024September 20, 2024 Scientists in Chile are generating electricity from algae in a process similar to solar cell energy production. They’re even using sturdier types of macro-algae, but it will take time to get the results ready for market. https://p.dw.com/p/4khZ3 Advertisement

Scientists say that communication based on the effect of quantum entanglement is not only possible, but also suitable for conversations with alien civilizations. And this explains the Fermi Paradox — the absence of signals from aliens. Quanum communications.

Researchers in Spain looking to develop a fresh approach to finding long-lost aqueducts have turned to U.S. Cold War-era satellite imagery. By mining the black-and-white images from the HEXAGON satellite program, the team developed machine learning models that have proven adept at picking out ancient aqueducts in varied terrain. The use of underground aqueducts is…

Stuck to rocks, shells, and piers in oceans around the world is a strange little creature called a sea squirt. It resembles a squishy potato and has two valves poking out, which it uses to suck in and expel seawater. Sea squirts are special for a few reasons. They tend to shoot water out of…
