Astronomers have detected radio jets belonging to a neutron star with a strong magnetic field — something not predicted by current theory, according to a new study published in Nature. The team, led by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, observed the object known as Swift J0243.6+6124 using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array radio ...
Archaeologists found the “vampire burial” remains of a 10-year-old child with a stone inserted into his or her mouth at a 5th-century Italian cemetery. The discovery of a 10-year-old’s body at an ancient Roman site in Italy suggests measures were taken to prevent the child, possibly infected with malaria, from rising from the dead and ...
Australian researchers using a CSIRO radio telescope in Western Australia have nearly doubled the known number of “fast radio bursts” — powerful flashes of radio waves from deep space. The team’s discoveries include the closest and brightest fast radio bursts ever detected. Fast radio bursts come from all over the sky and last for just ...
Russia is developing a wide range of satellites to strengthen its military dominance in a potential space war — everything from a model capable of recording objects on the ground as small as 12 inches wide to ones that can be used as anti-satellite weapons from space. The new generation satellites Moscow is reportedly replacing ...
During the ongoing UN Disarmament Conference, the United States plans on bringing global attention to Russian and Chinese attempts to militarize space. The conference is scheduled to run for five weeks in New York and will cover a wide range of international security issues. Russia and China developing technologies to militarize space Both Russia and ...
In 1977, U.S. space agency NASA launched Voyager 2 into space to explore the vastness of our universe. Now, about four decades later, the probe is reportedly nearing interstellar space. Approaching interstellar space Voyager 2 is currently about 11 billion miles away from Earth. This comes to approximately 118 times the distance between the Earth ...
Modern people believe living conditions in ancient times were very primitive. It may come as a surprise then that during the Tang Dynasty, the queen had a fully mechanical makeup table. Actually, ancient Chinese science and technology was quite advanced. Papermaking, gunpowder, and the compass were all invented in China. Stories of other incredible inventions ...
NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, currently on a journey toward interstellar space, has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is a little less than 11 billion miles (about 17.7 billion kilometers) from Earth, or more than 118 times the distance from the Earth to the ...
If you think that the entire universe is made up of matter that can be seen or detected, you are dead wrong. In fact, almost 85 percent of the matter present in the universe is thought to be composed of “dark matter,” a form of matter that scientists are yet to directly observe. Dark matter ...
Economic losses caused by drought losses in China may double if the global temperature rises by 1.5°C to 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels, with increasing drought intensity and areal coverage across China, a new economic assessment study by Chinese scientists found. The study, which was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences based on 30 ...
