International astronomers have discovered two planets orbiting a star only 12.5 light-years away from Earth.
Astronomers have discovered two planets orbiting a star only 12.5 light-years away from Earth. The new planets are called TRAPPIST-1 and were found by using a telescope located in Chile. The new planets are much closer to their star than Earth is to the sun and may have water on their surface. What is a […]
George Church, a scientist from Harvard, the advantage of genes to make a super human. We are listing the weaknesses.
What if we could simply modify our genes to create a super human? This is the dream of many scientists and would-be inventors, and one man who is leading the way in this field is Dr. George Church from Harvard University. In this article, we will take a look at some of the advantages and […]
According to a new study led by the University of Bristol, feathers evolved about 100 million years before birds, and this study changes the way we look at dinosaurs and flying reptiles.
In March of this year, a study was published in the journal PLOS One that has been causing a lot of buzz in the scientific community. The study, led by the University of Bristol and involving a team of scientists from around the world, suggests that feathers evolved much earlier than previously thought – about […]
