Earth-like planets not as rare as once thought: Astronomers estimate there are 2,000 nearby stars that house them
Researchers have placed their best bets on finding an Earth-like planet on nearly 2,000 stars, meaning these exoplanets might not be as rare as people think. Some of these stars lay within just a few light-years of our solar system. NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has targeted the stellar candidates. The successor to the […]

For us, it’s poison. For space, it’s alien life
One planet’s toxic gas might be the air that sustains life in another world. This axiom reportedly applies to carbon monoxide, a substance known to harm Earth-based lifeforms but which a new study claims may be the sign of alien life. Carbon monoxide is deadly to humans and most organic life on Earth. After entering the body […]

Nearly 60 percent of astronauts have “space herpes”
Anyone who wants to go to space must know about the health risks involved in leaving the Earth’s atmosphere and gravity. A NASA-backed study warns that astronauts were much more prone to developing a case of herpes while in space and after coming home. Researchers found that seven percent of the astronauts who previously reported […]

Moisture harvester is powered by the sun to produce clean water from air
Texan researchers recently presented a new type of moisture harvester that ran entirely on solar power. Their eco-friendly device passively gathered water vapor from the air and purified it into potable water. Many people still lack access to a reliable supply of clean water. The solar-powered moisture harvester may provide a solution to the problem […]

Asteroids impacting Mars may explain where all the water came from
Liquid water once covered much of the surface of Mars. A recent study has proposed that the flowing water owed its existence to asteroid impacts that heated the planet during its early years. Space probes and Martian landers have found plenty of evidence for the presence of streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes on ancient Mars. The data has […]

Quantum computer time machine: Russian physicists can move small particles a fraction of a second into the past
Russian researchers claim that they developed a “time machine” capable of sending subatomic particles in the opposite direction of time’s arrow. The quantum device is said to transport tiny bits of matter a fraction of a second into the past. Conducted by the Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology (MIPT), the device used electrons as […]

Here come the stormtrooper spiders! New spider species all look the same, like clones from Star Wars
It’s the attack of the “clone” spiders! South American researchers discovered enough nearly identical species of spiders in Colombia to fill a new genus, which got named in honor of the iconic stormtroopers from the Star Wars movies. Dubbed Stormtropis, the new genus joins the bald-legged spiders (family Paratropididae). The arachnids flourish throughout most of […]

It took 10 years to prove: First exoplanet finally confirmed
Researchers confirmed the first exoplanet candidate found by the Kepler space observatory. It took them more than a decade because they got the wrong impression of the planet’s size. The newly confirmed planet is called Kepler-165b. Situated very close to its parent star, it completes one revolution in less than four Earth days. For years, […]

From tires to shoes, disposable rubber items may soon be able to self-repair
Rubber items may one day be able to regenerate any damage they incur from everyday wear and tear, plus the occasional accident. California-based researchers developed a self-repairing rubber material that’s compatible with 3D printing methods. Qiming Wang led the University of Southern California (USC) research team. An assistant professor at the USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering, Wang is also […]

Scientists use sound to apparently defy gravity
Scientists have made levitation a reality using a rather unexpected tool – sound. An Anglo-American research team experimented with sound-based levitation and succeeded in suspending small bits of plastic in mid-air. Their results will contribute to the field of soft robotics, which uses similar plastic materials to create flexible robots. The researchers also believed that […]
