NASA’s Curiosity rover clicked a few pictures of what appeared to be a mysterious ‘alien’ doorway on Mars. However, it has now joined the longer list of wacky images spotted on Red Planet. Despite failures, scientists should continue to search for life on Mars.Read More
A team of astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that AI can reveal unsuspected connections hidden in complex mathematics arising from general relativity. An AI algorithm built to locate exoplanets revealed that the theories employed to explain these findings were incomplete.Read More
The World Economic Forum and leaders of some of the world’s largest businesses have announced to expand a partnership to promote green technologies. Sweden, India, Japan, Denmark, the United Kingdom and other countries also joined the initiative.Read More
NASA is working towards exploring if solar sails could be a viable way for space-based travel. Solar sails are mirror-like devices mounted on spacecraft that capture the Sun’s light. The captured light exerts radiation pressure on the sails and thus propels the spacecraft through the vacuum of space.Read More
Boeing’s Starliner capsule is ready to return to Earth tonight in the final step of a key test flight. This will be the final challenge for the flight before it could get NASA’s approval to fly astronauts to the International Space Station.Read More
A study recently published on May 6 indicates that the signal likely came from a Sun-like star located 1,800 light-years away from the Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), which has been looking for intelligent lifeforms in the universe, is still studying the signal. Read More
A team of researchers at the University of Utah Health have discovered a soft coral that releases the cancer-treating chemical, eleutherobin. The DNA of these flexible corals can be studied to understand how it releases the chemical.Read More
Northwestern University engineers have created the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot in the shape of a crab. Though the research is still in its early stages, the team hopes their technology will help them get closer to developing micro-sized robots that can do practical jobs in constrained locations.Read More
Researchers from Delft University of Technology have teleported quantum information across a basic network, taking a big step towards the quantum Internet. This accomplishment was made feasible by significantly increased quantum memory and improved quantum link quality between the network’s three nodes.Read More
