A new study, led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and reported in the journal Physical Review D, suggests that some unexplained results from the XENON1T experiment in Italy may have been caused by dark energy, and not the dark matter the experiment was designed to detect. They constructed a physical model to help explain the ...
Within 200 years, the wealthy are likely to become “god-like” cyborgs, with the poor dying out, a historian has claimed. Professor Yuval Noah Harari, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, believes that humans will merge with machines to become cyborgs and that it will be the greatest evolution since the appearance of life itself. Humans will upgrade themselves to ...

Researchers at Yale have answered a long-debated question about which competing model of evolution works best. They have come up with the answer by using sophisticated modeling of genomic data from diverse species indicating that Charles Darwin was wrong. Their study, which was published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, suggests that the “house of cards” model, which holds that mutations with large ...
What do shooting stars and astronaut safety have in common? Both stem from the sub-microscopic rock fragments found throughout the solar system, sometimes called interplanetary dust. When these particles collide with Earth’s atmosphere, they create meteors, better known as shooting stars, as the (usually) microscopic fragments vaporize and leave flaming trails through the air. When ...
The most devastating tornadoes are often preceded by cloudy plumes of ice and water vapor billowing above severe thunderstorms leading to deadly supercell thunderstorms. New research reveals the mechanism for these plumes could be tied to “hydraulic jumps” — a phenomenon Leonardo Da Vinci observed more than 500 years ago. When a cloudy plume of ...
Viktor Kazachenko was from a village in northern Kazakhstan, and there was something quite strange happening in his village. While he was driving to the nearest town on some errands, something happened, and he never arrived. “My brain switched off,” he said. “That’s it. I don’t remember.” Kazachenko had been hit by the so-called “sleeping sickness” ...
Have you ever seen someone skewer a balloon? It’s a great party trick and your kids will think you are really clever. Here is how to do it and why this works.

The commercial sexual exploitation of children ...
A lot of people enjoy scuba diving around the world. Imagine if you didn’t need air tanks and you could stay underwater for longer periods. Scientists have developed a new crystalline substance called Aquaman Crystals that are capable of absorbing a massive amount of oxygen. Remarkably, a mere bucketful of this amazing substance is capable ...
