3i/atlas: Everything you need to know about filming a new “interstellar visitor” via solar system
The solar system has uninvited guests who are traveling one way through our space neighborhood and are currently filming towards us. The newly discovered interstellar visitor named 3i/Atlas is the third visitor ever seen. It was discovered on July 1st and quickly raised an eyebrow due to its high speed and extreme trajectory. This suggests […]
“Alpha male” primates are rare, and women are almost equally likely to dominate the opposite sex, studies find
In the primate world, scientists have discovered that alpha men rarely dominate women. And there are examples of men who dominate women as much as women dominate men. Researchers have investigated sexual domination across more than 100 primate species and found that in most primates, neither sex is clearly less dominant than the challenging historical […]
“We’re bringing home bird dinosaurs”: The disappearing company claims to revive the giant MOA in the next decade
The giant, flightless bird that roamed New Zealand before its extinction about 600 years ago is the next species on a controversial list of “passive” targets by biotechnology company Colossal Biosciences. Colossal announced on Tuesday (July 8th) that its scientists and local indigenous partners will “revive” South Island giant MOA (Dinornis Robustus) through genetic engineering […]
Quantum materials with “hidden metal states” can make electronic devices 1,000 times faster
A new way to change electronic states on demand could make electronic devices 1,000 times faster and more efficient, researchers say. In a new study published June 27 in the journal Nature Physics, scientists discovered that heating and cooling of quantum materials can insulate and transmit electricity according to temperature. The material, named 1T-Tasâ‚‚, could […]
Echoes from the Big Bang suggest that the Earth is trapped in a massive space in the universe, scientists argue
Astronomers have discovered that they claim that Earth and our Milky Way galaxies are fresh evidence that they are suspended in a huge blank that distorts observations of the universe. The radical proposal made by analyzing the Big Bang echo suggests that our galaxies could float in 2 billion regions, 20% less densities than average. […]
A victim donkey found under a Bronze Age home in Israel: “Their lives were killed by the excitement of their lives.”
Almost five,000 years ago, the “sacrificing butt,” with heads being amputated and legs tied together, was discovered under Israeli Bronze Age home. The donkey and the other three buried nearby may have been part of a ritual that involved sacrificing young women’s work animals from far away land. The reason why these donkeys were “slayed […]
Weight loss can “rejuvenate” fat tissue and remove aged cells
Despite decades of research focusing on obesity, what happens in the body when you lose weight and why losing weight can improve your health is still not well understood. The new study, currently published naturally on Wednesday (July 9th), provides clues as to what is actually happening. Weight loss suggests that it does more than […]
Metformin may prevent severe morning illness
Early data suggest that metformin, a common diabetic drug, may significantly reduce the risk of severely shaped forms affecting thousands of pregnant people each year. This form of illness – carnivorous excess (Hg), or overpackaging – can lead to complications during pregnancy, such as weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and long-term health issues for the […]
The new “Centaur” AI model can predict how we behave with unprecedented accuracy
New AI (AI) models can predict and simulate human thoughts and behaviors with incredible accuracy. A linguistic model called Centaur helps researchers improve their understanding of human cognition. This model was trained on over 10 million actual decisions made by participants in psychological experiments. Using this dataset, Centaur predicted and simulated how people think and […]
An 8-year-old with a rare and fatal illness shows dramatic improvements in experimental treatment
The 8-year-old fell rapidly in just a few months. In August 2023 he was playing football running, but by September, unwilling muscle contractions had both his ankles. By October, he had lost the ability to run and play sports, and by late November, he had collapsed frequently, so the physical therapist advised him to get […]
