On December 1, Japan inaugurated the JT-60SA which is considered the world’s largest superconducting tokamak. The structure, responsible for producing energy from nuclear fusion, benefits from the support of the European Union (EU) and is seen as a precursor to the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) currently being built in France. The latter should enter […]

In addition, air pollution, which is a contributor to climate change, can affect our mental wellbeing. According to a brand new research study by King’s College London, increased utilization of health care services and excessive exposure to pollutants, specifically in individuals with dementia, “Based upon solid evidence based on data from the actual world, air […]

American and European astrophysicists with Spanish participation have predicted the presence of binary 30-solar mass black holes similar to the Milky Way galaxies, contrary to previous theories. Their calculations are made possible thanks to an open-source program that creates accurate simulations of individual stars as well as those in binary pairs; additionally, they predict their […]

Scientists have enhanced the image of Messier 87’s black Hole through artificial intelligence. An advanced machine-learning algorithm enhanced an iconic photo taken by the EHT Collaboration of an ultramassive black hole at the center of the Messier galaxy in 2019 using machine learning technology. With computer models of black holes trained on computer simulation, the […]

A white jacket worn by astronaut Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 sold for nearly three million dollars at auction. Several dozen other lots also found takers. Buzz Aldrin, now 92, is known for executing the world’s first successful spacewalk on the Gemini 12 mission just three years after joining NASA in […]

The Australian Space Agency is investigating space debris found in farmland in the Snowy Mountains, Australia. Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist at the Australian National University, believes it is the remains of a SpaceX mission. Brad Tucker often receives calls from people who believe they have found space junk. Usually it’s something else. “This time it […]

Jurassic insects carried clusters of eggs on their feet. Paleontologists recently discovered evidence of this parenting behavior in remarkably well-preserved fossils in China. This would be the first example of brood care in an insect species. Brood care improves the chances of survival of the offspring by ensuring protection and/or access to food by the […]

The giant SLS rocket’s most recent wet dress rehearsal wasn’t perfect, but NASA says it’s enough to keep the Artemis 1 lunar mission on track for liftoff in a few months. Objective: circumnavigate the Moon and return to Earth to prepare for the return of humans there. A few days ago, NASA operated the fourth […]

A new report from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) details the discovery of thousands of artifacts released by melting ice. Among them is a small shoe worn more than 3,000 years ago. Within decades, large areas of Norwegian ice sheets began to melt, exposing perfectly preserved artifacts. These plates form at high […]
