Conquering Space: Planetary Molding for Human Needs One of the goals of space exploration is to modify planets to suit human needs. This means not only putting people on their surface, but also creating living conditions to sustain human life. While Mars is often considered as the ultimate destination for human habitation, some are exploring …
Israeli archaeologists recently discovered the huge tusk of a prehistoric pachyderm near a kibbutz in southern Israel, a remnant of a huge animal that early humans hunted around half a million years ago. The Israeli Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday that the 2.5-meter (yard) fossil of a long-extinct straight-tusked elephant was found during an excavation by …
Researchers at the University of Trier (Trier) in Germany have developed a method for extracting and analyzing traces of insect DNA from dried plants. “We have examined commercially available teas and herbs and have found DNA from up to 400 different insect species in a single tea bag,” explains junior professor Henrik Krehenwinkel. When a …
Those responsible for the Artemis I mission at NASA expect lift-off to take place in late August or early September 2022, which would mean the first step in establishing a lasting human presence on the Moon while preparing for the jump to Mars. reported on Wednesday (20.07.2022). Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin said in a …
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered a particularly strange piece of debris while traversing the surface of Mars: a coiled, rope-like, “spaghetti”-shaped piece of unidentified material. The image was captured by the Perseverance rover, nicknamed Percy,’s front-facing cameras that monitor the landscape to protect him when he drives or uses his robotic arm. Scientists were unable …
Harvard engineers have used a new manufacturing method to recreate the helical structure of human heart muscles: so-called focused rotary jet spinning (FRJS). The breakthrough could mark an important moment in the history of heart transplant technology, bringing specialists one step closer to building a complete human heart that can be transplanted into a living …
A group of scientists has identified a gene that is vital for the development of photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina that capture and process light and send signals to the brain to activate vision, according to a study published Tuesday ( 07.12.2022) by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences …
You might have known dry ice as a Halloween Party staple or a special effect product in theatres used to set a spooky mood, but the uses and application of this substance go beyond them. Dry ice gives a foggy appearance and doesn’t melt into a puddle like regular ice. So, what is it composed …

Scientists confirm that the gravitational microlensing event in the cosmos witnessed in 2011 was due to a black hole floating through interstellar space, the first of its kind ever observed. “We reported the first unequivocal detection and mass measurement of an isolated black hole of stellar mass,” says an international team of astronomers led by …
Cream skimmed from milk may be called “sweet cream” to distinguish it from cream skimmed from whey, a by-product of cheese-making. Whey cream has a lower fat content and tastes more salty, tangy and “cheesy”. In many countries, cream is usually sold partially fermented: sour cream, crème fraîche, and so on. Both forms have many …
By astronomical convention, the four seasons can be determined by the solstices—the points in the orbit of maximum axial tilt toward or away from the Sun—and the equinoxes, when Earth rotational axis is aligned with its orbital axis. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter solstice currently occurs around 21 December; summer solstice is near 21 June, …
There are a number of different theories and hypotheses regarding early state formation that seek generalizations to explain why the state developed in some places but not others. Other scholars believe that generalizations are unhelpful and that each case of early state formation should be treated on its own. Voluntary contend groups theories of people …
