For decades, biologists have puzzled over Ediacaran organisms. These enigmatic fossils have left many questions unanswered, including why they suddenly appeared in the fossil record and what role they may have played in the evolution of life on Earth. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most well-known Ediacaran fossils and […]

solar energy The nuclear power industry, founded by Bill Gates, is looking to build small, high-tech nuclear power plants that will increase the ability to store electricity from renewable sources such as wind power in power grids.
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, continue to grow in popularity. However, due to the intermittency of these types of energies, it can be difficult to store them in power grids and use them when needed. Bill Gates’ nuclear power industry is looking to improve upon this by creating small, high-tech nuclear […]
Astronomers at LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), which is primarily intended to measure gravitational waves, have detected waves based on the collision of two distant neutron stars for the second time.
In September of 2017, LIGO scientists detected gravitational waves – a type of wave created by the collision of two objects. This discovery has since inspired many other researchers to begin working on detecting these waves elsewhere in the universe, and with each new detection the possibility that we may have discovered the elusive ‘dark […]
He became a qualified British pilot at a young age
When it comes to accomplishments, there isn’t much that can compare to what Joey Lawrence has been able to achieve in his life. From becoming a qualified British pilot at a young age to being on the UK edition of Dancing With The Stars and now starring in his own US show, Joey Lawrence is […]
According to a recent survey, mosquitoes can be trained not to bite people.
Mosquitoes have played a role in causing illness and death for centuries, but now there’s hope that we can use technology to help control their population. A recent survey found that mosquitoes can be trained not to bite people – and the process is surprisingly simple! What is Mosquito Training? When it comes to mosquitoes, […]
With China’s Chang’e-4 spacecraft carrying seeds to the far side of the moon, hopes for planting trees on the moon have grown stronger.
For many people, the moon is a destination that holds great interest. Not only is it one of the most scientifically interesting places in our universe, but it also has long been perceived as a place where humans can go and explore. With China’s Chang’e-4 spacecraft carrying seeds to the far side of the moon, […]
NASA’s Spacewalk Mission Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, two female NASA astronauts, have recently set a unique milestone in the field of space science.
Christina Koch and Jessica Meir undertook a spacewalk on June 11th, 2019, becoming the first women to walk in space outside the International Space Station (ISS) and the second Americans to do so. Christina Koch is a veteran of five spaceflights and Jessica Meir has logged three. What is a Spacewalk? NASA’s Spacewalk Mission Christina […]
NASA’s famous Curiosity rover is constantly taking pictures on Mars, and in one of the pictures it took, it saw a mysterious light.
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been on Mars for over five years now and has been taking pictures and analyzing data. Recently, while Curiosity was investigating a dark area on the surface of Mars, it captured a mysterious light in one of its photos. Scientists have not been able to identify what the light is, but […]
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 […]
