It looks like scientists have finally managed to find a link between the world’s most common weed killer and the increasing number of bee deaths. According to a recent study, conducted by researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, glyphosate, which is the active component of Roundup, destroys some good bacteria in bees’ guts, […]
A new study notes that breast milk served from a bottle may not be as healthy as the one which is breastfeeding directly. Researchers have discovered that breastfed baby have a better weight in comparison to those that drink it from a bottle, especially if it is formula milk. Even babies that were given milk
NASA launched a balloon to travel across the Arctic skies and it managed to capture some incredible images featuring rare blue clouds. These clouds are apparently formed when ice crystals interact with pieces of broken meteors. Scientifically, they are called noctilucent clouds or PMCs (polar mesospheric clouds). By studying them, scientists can better understand turbulence
The Curiosity rover is suffering from some sort of ailment that still remains unclear. NASA’s Mars explorer is expected to recover, however, if we take on its team members’ optimism that they can get the six-wheeled robot up and running once again. Last Saturday night, on the 15th of September, Curiosity started to have problems
The artificial intelligence systems available today are works of wonder. Inspired by our brain and helped by training data and clear limits, they are able to reach feats like winning chess and Go completion against masters. They are also able to identify objects and tell the difference between similar objects. But they certainly lack in
Galileo was one of the most influential astronomers and mathematicians in history and new evidence surfaced and it reveals how he tried to make his work accepted in the midst of the religious climate which existed at the time. Galileo is one of the biggest champions of Copernicus’ theory which stated that our planet revolves
A long-necked elasmosaurus was installed at the University of British Columbia, above the Pacific Museum of the Earth to be exact. Scientists said that it was a marine reptile that shared the Earth with the dinosaurs approximately 80 million years ago. They believe that it wouldn’t have been able of lifting its own head above
A new invention that can prove very helpful in the future It might sound unreal or maybe even creepy, but rest assured, it’s not. A new invention, called “robotic skin” will transform inanimate objects into robots, making them coming to life in just a few seconds. Don’t worry, this is not your worst nightmare coming
Although it has been many years since the Hubble telescope reached space, it is still helping astronomers and researchers to better understand the universe. Recently, the telescope has come across features around a neutron star which we didn’t ever see before, leaving men of science with the quest of figuring out what exactly has been
The first light marks a landmark for any astronomical device. NASA has released the first images captured by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (or TESS). TESS has been designed to hunt down exoplanets and offer us detailed images, taking the torch from Kepler, which discovered more than 2,300 exoplanets during its many successful missions. TESS
