Lucy, a spacecraft set to visit an unprecedented number of asteroids in an unprecedented flight also will be carrying diamonds. Lucy is named after the partial hominid skeleton found in Ethiopia in 1974. Paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson and a graduate student discovered a fossil of a human ancestor who had lived 3.2 million years ago. After... Continue Reading →
We love to write about Nanotechnology and in the Sci-Fi world, it can do anything. Here are some nanos actually fighting cancer! The nanoparticle, called a spherical nucleic acid (SNA), is a globular form of DNA that can easily enter and stimulate immune cells. Your body then produces T-cells that attack the cancer all by...

Researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory are developing ways for technology to predict the presence of Covid-19 from analyzing speech sounds undetectable to the human ear. They found that 'biomarkers derived from vocal system coordination can indicate the presence of COVID-19.' When we speak, our vocal system works together to create the necessary air flow and...

https://medievaluniverses.fandom.com/wiki/Orc No, not those orcs... In astronomy, an Odd radio circle (ORC) is a very large unexplained astronomical object that, at radio wavelengths, is highly circular and brighter along its edges, but invisible to infrared, x-ray, and visible light. As of 26 June 2020, there have been four such objects (and possibly six more) observed.... Continue Reading →
Could new research in Quantum mechanics help us understand ghosts? Researchers have seen quantum fluctuations "kick" large objects such as mirrors, moving them by a tiny degree but one big enough to measure.The movements are the result of the way the universe is structured, when seen at the level of quantum mechanics: researchers describe it...

What we are talking about is not the teleportation you are thinking of, where you think about going to Fiji and suddenly you are. Remember those CubeSats we send up and had the ISS release? Well one of them was working on Quantum Entanglement. In this case, a small CubeSat satellite, appropriately called SpooQy-1, was... Continue Reading →
In 2015 Kepler found this planet orbiting a red dwarf star some 110 light years from Earth, twice as wide as Earth, and has eight times Earth’s mass. It's not exactly Earth-like, but it does orbit within the habitable zone of that star. In 2016 and 2017 using the Hubble, a team discovered that the... Continue Reading →
You ever wanted something to stick, like really stick for a long time, but need to remove it later or reposition it? What if in creating a new invention there was one piece that ended up a few millimeters short? If only you could move it... Well scientists have discovered that a hydrogel when wet...

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/science/israel-moon-landing-beresheet.html Beresheet, which means “Genesis” or “in the beginning” in Hebrew, would have been the first robotic lander on the moon built by a private organization, Space IL from Israel. With high hopes, the mission began. It rocketed off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in February, orbited the moon, took a selfie, and then... Continue Reading →
So it's been a year since Starman the mannequin was launched into space in his cherry red Tesla Roadster with Hot Wheels model Tesla on the dash. The car is 226 million miles from Earth now. There is a really cool website run by Programmer Ben Pearson that counts Starman's distance as he travels at... Continue Reading →
