Jocelyn Bell Burnell, British astrophysicist won 3 million dollars for her fast-spinning neutron stars back in 1967, at Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. On October 17 2019 were rewarded the other winners, researcher of the gravitational-wave, a pioneer that worked at -messenger astronomy and investigating the nature of gravity and the quantum realm. The […]
Scientists believe that exploring the equatorial regions of Europa (Jupiter’s ocean moon) would definitely not be a walk in the park. The tropics of Europa, which is thought of as a moon that could potentially support life are probably filled with ice blades which could be up to 15 meters (50 ft) tall, according to
The Earth has been diagnosed with having a weird geological condition by scientists. This ‘disease’ our planet is going through is called ‘stagnant slabs’ which basically means that the tectonic plates which subdue into the incredibly hot mantle became stuck hundreds of miles below Earth’s surface due to a mysterious reason. Researchers from the University
Many and different instruments onboard stay at the base of the announcement from the title. NASA discovered in late August a small uptick in the number of cosmic rays that the spacecraft was hit by. Cosmis rays are the pummeling superfast particles from our Solar System that come from the outer space. Since Voyager 1
The new discovery of astronomers is called “exomoon” was found from Nasa’s Kepler spacecraft data and observed using the Hubble telescope and it is described as the size of Neptune and orbits a planet the size of Jupiter but with 10 times the mass. Astronomers David Kipping, from Columbia University in New York and Alex Teachey are
A new computer architecture, which is being developed by IMB scientists, could be much better at handling huge data loads from AI. It is expected to outperform traditional computers thanks to the fact that it is inspired by the human brain. The computer architecture that draws from the human brain A recent study, published in
Everybody knows that children can borrow some physical traits form their parents and other relatives. Recently, a team of biologists discovered that, even if we cannot notice that at a first glance, a part of our genetic heritage is passed on by our mothers. According to them, knowing how the early development stages take place,
New evidence has been found by a team of scientists coming from the Penn State University which suggests that some of those particles picked up in Antarctica do not fit the Standard Model. So, they have come up with a paper which is capable of outlining their arguments which they have posted on the arXiv
As Hudson Pinheiro and Luiz Rocha, two ichthyologists with the California Academy of Sciences who just discovered a new species of fish, were diving underwater, they did not see a huge 10-foot shark that was just above their heads. The video showing this event was taken by their safety officer. A new species of fish
A group of researchers has employed machine learning- a type of artificial intelligence able to analyze and sort large amounts of data. The A.I. was able to able to spot patterns of learning difficulties that were not previously observed by researchers. Lead members from the joint study made by the Medical Research Council and the
