Fascinating flyers: Scientists reveal how butterflies escape predators
For their size, butterflies have a big pair of wings. They fly with wings that can weigh them down and allow predators to catch up on them. But as it turns out, butterflies have a unique takeoff style that makes them quicker. In a study published in the Journal of the Royal Surface Interface, researchers from Lund University in Sweden found […]

Scientists produce methane-based rocket fuel using resources found on Mars
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have figured out how to produce rocket fuel using only portable materials and resources that can be sourced from Mars. The scientists developed a one-step process that requires only zinc, a mineral found on the red planet, and a small easy-to-carry device to catalyze carbon dioxide and produce methane-based fuel. This method […]

Signs of alien civilization: Did astronomers detect “technosignatures?”
Breakthrough Listen, the most extensive search yet for extraterrestrial intelligence, made the headlines recently after project researchers discovered a mysterious radio signal coming from Proxima Centauri, the nearest known star to the sun. Though the researchers are not done with their study, there has been speculation that the signal is a “technosignature” produced by an alien civilization. Proxima Centauri […]

Straight out of sci-fi: Scientists achieve long-distance “quantum teleportation” for the first time
Scientists have successfully “beamed up” units of quantum information known as qubits over a great distance for the first time. Led by scientists from the California Institute of Technology, a team of researchers demonstrated this so-called “quantum teleportation” across 27 miles of fiber optics in two testbeds: the Caltech Quantum Network (CQNET) and the Fermilab Quantum Network […]

Does the solar system have a “Planet Nine”? Researchers say it’s a possibility
A planet orbiting a pair of stars more than 300 light-years away may offer clues to a mystery object called “Planet Nine” that is thought to reside in the outskirts of the solar system. Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile performed the first complete orbital measurements on a Jupiter-like exoplanet whose orbit is unusually […]

Study suggests the ice age was caused by global cooling after a giant asteroid collision in space
An international team of researchers suggests that a massive asteroid collision in space may have triggered the ice age 460 million years ago. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers said that the breakup of an enormous asteroid sent massive amounts of debris whirring through the solar system, shrouding Earth with a thick blanket […]

Space station experiment shows how bacteria can be used for space mining
An international team of researchers has successfully used bacteria to mine precious resources in space, boosting the bid to establish a self-sustaining human presence in distant worlds. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that microbes enhanced the extraction of rare earth elements while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The experiment demonstrates that using […]

Mysterious blobs of radio emissions found floating in space
Astronomers are scratching their heads over ghostly blobs of radio emissions found floating in space last year. Ray Norris of Western Sydney University said that the mysterious blobs, which were dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORCs), weren’t quite like anything known before. “[We ran] through all the possibilities and conclude these enigmatic blobs don’t look like […]

Melatonin therapy a promising coronavirus treatment – study
Melatonin is a hormone mainly produced by the pineal gland. Commonly known as a natural sleep regulator, it also plays a role in gene expression and cancer prevention and has the rare ability to enter the mitochondria. As a potent antioxidant, it helps prevent mitochondrial damage and energy failure caused by oxidation. Recent studies also show that melatonin may help […]
