A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University has just presented a bold new hypothesis about why Upper Paleolithic humans painted their artwork in the deepest galleries of many caves…
The worst mass extinction on our planet occurred 252 million years ago. At that time, massive volcanic eruptions caused catastrophic climate change, causing the vast majority of animal species to become extinct. This…
We'll find extraterrestrial life within 5 to 10 years. That's the extraordinary conclusion of a new study presented yesterday at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society. The research suggests that the new space telescope…
On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made history by flying their first prototype airplane over the dunes of Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina. They probably didn't imagine that 117 years later, another engineering team would…
NASA witnessed a historic event today. With great difficulty, the Ingenuity helicopter was able to complete a short 30-second flight over the surface of Mars. This marks the first time a device has successfully flown on another planet.
In recent years, a good portion of the red dwarfs within the reach of telescopes have been subjected to exhaustive studies to find planets around them. Much smaller and dimmer than the Sun, red dwarfs are the…
NASA will broadcast the first flight of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars this afternoon (12:15 p.m.). After a week-long delay due to technical issues, the craft will attempt to become the first powered rover to soar through the skies of another world.
It will be early this morning, but NASA probably won't confirm it until noon. Finally, after a week-long delay due to technical issues, the Ingenuity helicopter will attempt to take flight on Mars. If successful, it will be the first time…
Engineers at Purdue University have created the world's whitest paint. Made from barium sulfate, they claim coating buildings with this formula could cool them enough to reduce the need for air conditioning…
Fifty years ago, Singapore was a developing country with no natural resources. At the end of the 20th century, it began to lead the results of the most well-known international tests, such as PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS, in both mathematics and science.
