[ad_1] What if we could send a time traveler to avoid the Covid-19 pandemic? ‘(It might interest you: in the end, it will be better to sell the station to commercial operators’) The dream of time travel always ends in a nightmare full of paradoxes. We know them through science …

[ad_1] Diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven by coevolution Diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven by coevolution. A study funded by the National Science Foundation of the United States conducted by researchers from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa revealed that diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven …

[ad_1] Birds are one of the most studied groups of animals in the world, yet we are still finding new species, some of which we have never seen before and others that have been hidden in plain sight for hundreds of years. The gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) was first discovered …

[ad_1] An international team of climate scientists, including two from the University of Michigan, suggests that researchers using numerical models to predict future climate change should include simulations of past climates when evaluating the model’s performance. “We urge the climate modeling community to pay attention to the past and actively …

[ad_1] Bonfire night celebrations contaminate our air with extremely high amounts of soot, scientists have found. Researchers from the University of Leeds tested the air quality during the Guy Fawkes Night events in the city and found that soot in the atmosphere was around 100 times its normal level. Soot, …

[ad_1] Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a liquid window panel that can simultaneously block the sun to regulate solar transmission, trapping thermal heat that can be released during the day and night, helping to reduce the energy consumption in buildings. NTU researchers developed their “smart …

[ad_1] Enter a quantum lab where scientists trap ions and you’ll find worktops filled with mirrors and lenses, all lasers that focus to hit an ion “trapped” in place on top of a chip. Using lasers to control ions, scientists have learned to exploit ions as quantum bits, or qubits, …

[ad_1] The discovery that coral-eating starfish are early risers and feed mostly at night could help slow the decline of the Great Barrier Reef and other shallow-water corals already ravaged by global warming, scientists reported Wednesday. Crown-of-thorns starfish suck color and life from corals, a favorite food, but in a …

[ad_1] Just a few years ago, scientists around the world celebrated when the first gravitational waves were detected, confirming a long-standing scientific theory and opening a whole new field of research. Now, the international research team responsible for detecting gravitational waves has announced another 39 gravitational wave events, bringing the …

[ad_1] Over the past five years, astronomy has been revolutionized as scientists have used ripples in the fabric of spacetime, called gravitational waves, to reveal the secrets of the previously hidden world of black holes. Gravitational waves are created when two black holes merge in a cataclysmic release of energy, …
