When a massive star runs out of fuel, its core collapses. This collapse releases a flood of neutrinos, which push a shock wave outward through the star’s layers. If the shock is strong enough, it ...

The Universe is continually expanding, and scientists measure its expansion rate, the Hubble Constant, using two main methods: electromagnetic methods (using light from stars, galaxies, or supernovae) ...

Researchers have been exploring different ways to improve memory, from mental training exercises to nutritional changes. A new study by University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers found a ...

New “prebiotic gel-first” theory suggests life may have begun in sticky, surface-bound gels Primitive gels could have concentrated and protected molecules, enabling complex chemical reactions long ...

Human dominance and aggression are deeply rooted in our evolution and influence social and political behavior. Without conscious effort, these primal drives will continue to cause inequality and ...

Imagine the brain’s blood vessels as a bustling highway system, twisting, turning, and pulsing with life. Now picture a traffic jam in one of the most critical intersections: that’s what happens in ...

Optical computing utilizes light’s speed to perform vector-matrix operations more efficiently. Harnessing the principles of light interference enables parallel computations, a key feature of quantum ...

Vitamin B12 is essential for making DNA, red blood cells, and nerve tissue. Although B12 deficiency is known to cause neurological problems, the exact level needed to prevent such issues is unclear.

The orbit of 2023 KQ14 (in red) compared to the orbits of the other three sednoids (in white). 2023 KQ14was discovered near its perihelion at a distance of 71 astronomical units (71 times the average ...

The two Yunxian skulls used in the study were highly distorted, but Xijun Ni and his colleagues were able to reconstruct them using 3D modelling. ©Mr. Guanghui Zhao In the quiet bends of the Han River ...
