What is CosmicWatch? How a $100 detector can spot invisible particles 'muons' raining down from spaceWith a price tag of approximately one hundred dollars, CosmicWatch is a cost-effective handheld muon detector. This device identifies the u...- Biomoneta launches Avata Air through Panasonic’s MirAIe Lifestyle platformBiomoneta’s microbial air-decontamination technology has previously been deployed and evaluated in healthcare environments, including inten...
- In 1962, the US detonated a 1.4-megaton nuclear bomb in space that knocked out streetlights and triggered burglar alarms in Hawaii. 64 years later, it says weapons are already in orbitThe United States has acknowledged its possession of orbital space-control weapons, a declaration echoing a 1962 nuclear test that generate...
- Science says black holes don’t actually suck everything around them: Here’s what really happensBlack Holes are called black because light cannot escape from inside their event horizons. Astronomers nevertheless detect black holes indi...
- Dark Matter detected: Scientists may have solved Universe’s biggest mystery as possible dark matter signal found deep underground in a South Dakota gold mineDark Matter found: Scientists conducting the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment deep underground in South Dakota have detected a rare particle interacti...
- What is dark matter? All about the universe’s biggest mystery after scientists found possible signal in South Dakota gold mineDark matter is an invisible form of matter believed to make up about 85% of all matter in the universe. Scientists have never directly dete...
- 'Dark Matter' finally spotted? Scientists find mysterious particle signal in South Dakota's LZ detector; could be the biggest breakthrough yet in the century-long search for the universe's invisible matterIn a groundbreaking discovery, scientists involved in the LZ Dark Matter Experiment have observed an unprecedented particle interaction ben...
- Science says sand isn’t always made from rocks: Some beaches are built from the remains of living thingsThe next time you stroll along a white tropical beach, remember that the sand beneath your feet may have a far more complex origin than ero...
- 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...
- Why just one scrap of microplastic can cause high cholesterol and kidney damage in young seabirdsTiny microplastics infiltrate even the most isolated ecosystems around the globe, posing serious threats to wildlife health. These minuscul...
- In 2000, NASA's MISR used 9 cameras aboard Terra to study clouds, winds and aerosols. 1 year later, scientists showed it could measure cloud heights to within 400 meters worldwide, opening new possibilities for meteorologyNASA’s MISR instrument is giving scientists a different way to study Earth’s atmosphere. Its nine cameras view the planet from different an...
- Since 1958, tidal groundwater has continued moving beneath Runit Dome in the Marshall Islands, where 85,000 cubic meters of radioactive material rest; now rising Pacific seas are raising questions about the future of the 115-meter-wide structureTidal groundwater moves freely beneath Runit Dome in the Marshall Islands. Built over a nuclear crater, the 115-meter concrete structure ho...
- Astronomers looked into the void of space—and watched light do something unthinkableAstrophysicists detected light polarization around a distant magnetar. This observation confirms a quantum vacuum hypothesis from nearly ni...
- A road in Surrey could soon send its summer heat 100 metres beneath the surface, store it underground and bring it back during winter, turning geothermal energy into a defense against potholesWhat if roads could store summer heat and use it to prevent winter damage? A University of Surrey trial is exploring exactly that. Its geot...
- A dried lakebed in Africa's Chad sends 27.7 million tonnes of dust across 5,000 km of Atlantic Ocean each year, carrying phosphorus that helps sustain the Amazon rainforestThe Amazon rainforest has a surprising lifeline. Each year, about 27.7 million tonnes of Sahara dust travel nearly 5,000 kilometres from Ch...
- Are you breathing toxic air inside your home? These warning signals suggest it’s time to test your indoor air qualityIndoor air quality is vital for maintaining a healthy home environment. Experts suggest being vigilant for signs of air quality deteriorati...
- In 2010, a 36-minute routine telescope session captured hidden giant rings in Venus' atmosphere: Archived images reveal mysterious planet-wide atmospheric waves after 16 yearsIn 2010, astronomers captured 36 minutes of Venus imagery while waiting for sunset in the Canary Islands. The data sat forgotten in archive...
- In 2005, researchers revealed why plain soap outperformed waterless sanitizers in keeping hands cleanHand sanitizer is a valuable tool that can reduce many germs quickly, but it does not physically remove dirt and debris the way soap does. ...
- Dark matter's secret address revealed? Scientists say it may be hiding in fifth dimension; here's what the new theory says about one of the universe's biggest mysteriesA new study proposes dark matter resides in a hidden extra dimension. This hidden dimension may naturally align particle masses, creating d...
- Scientists discover largest 'invisible gold' reserve beneath Japan's seabed, but this one major problem may never let the underwater treasure be minedScientists have identified a vast reserve of hidden gold deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. This "invisible gold" is locked inside pyrite and ...
