Japanese researchers in 2009 placed five men individually inside a dark room and captured a faint glow from their bodies, 1,000 times too weak for human eyes to see; but strangely, the invisible light wasn't constant: it grew stronger through the day and peaked around 4 p.m.Japanese researchers discovered the human body emits ultraweak light. This faint glow is invisible to the naked human eye. The emission int...
This cow in Austria learned to use sticks as a scratching tool. Scientists say it changes what we know about cattleA cow named Veronika used a fallen tree branch as a tool. She deliberately picked up sticks with her mouth to scratch herself. Researchers ...
NASA's Roman Space Telescope will see at least 100 times more sky at once than Hubble and James Webb, helping scientists study invisible dark matter, dark energy and search for thousands of exoplanetsNASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, beginning a mission to survey vast areas of the univers...
In 1905, Einstein unlocked a mystery of light that seemed almost impossible, unknowingly laying the foundation for smartphone cameras, solar panels, burglar alarms and technologies yet to comeAlbert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect in 1905. This interaction of light and matter powers many modern devices. His theory rev...
