[ad_1] Few telescopes will receive an emotional response from the general public when it is finally announced that they will be deactivated. In the case of the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, in recent months not only astronomers but also countless people around the world have waited with bated …

[ad_1] IMAGE: Experimental setup. View More Credit: Tsukuba University Tsukuba, Japan – Researchers from Tsukuba University’s Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences studied how blind and blind players monitored an incoming noisy ball. They found that blind players employed more head downward rotation when trapping the rolling ball, compared to …

[ad_1] The frozen continent is home to a few scientists throughout the year who study the remote region in an effort to learn more about the history of the Earth and the effects of climate change. Some projects also focus on marine life in the waters around Antarctica, probing an …

[ad_1] Exposure to warm ocean waters is a major threat to the stability of ice sheets. Credit: Jörg Pross The drastically increasing influence of human beings on the earth’s climate causes a melting of the polar ice caps and therefore a rise in the global sea level. A team of …

[ad_1] This animation shows the “probe before destroying” imaging technique made possible by SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray laser. On the left, longer-lasting X-rays produced by more conventional research facilities can destroy or damage samples as they pass through them, which can make it difficult to capture high-quality …

[ad_1] The first dinosaur bones in Ireland have been formally confirmed by experts from the University of Portsmouth and Queen’s University of Belfast. The two fossil bones were first discovered by fossil collector Roger Byrne and were later donated with the rest of his extensive fossil collection to the Ulster …

[ad_1] Scientists have confirmed the existence of “superbolts” that can be up to 1,000 times brighter than the average lightning bolt, producing more energy than all solar panels and wind turbines in the United States combined. In two separate studies of extreme lightning events, researchers were amazed at the sheer …

Alkaline water electrolysis has been touted as a path to establishing a hydrogen economy by converting intermittent renewable energies into clean, hydrogen-based chemical energy. However, current technology has only achieved …

[ad_1] Scientists have found a way to create and cancel magnetic fields from afar. The method involves passing electric current through a special arrangement of wires to create a file magnetic field it seems to come from another source. This illusion has real applications: Imagine a cancer drug that could …
