In a recent study, planetary scientists and engineers from Western University’s Institute for Earth and Space Exploration in Canada have introduced a novel concept of producing food for space travelers using asteroids. No, they are not suggesting that astronauts eat rocks. Instead, they propose feeding bacteria with asteroid material to create edible biomass, which could serve as a food source …

Engineers and tech experts have achieved something that seems almost unbelievable: they sent two robots on a “date” and shared a video of their fascinating conversation on YouTube. In the video, two humanoid robots, Ameca and Azi—touted as the most advanced robots in the world—are shown “chatting” and displaying various facial expressions. Their amusing conversation has left viewers both entertained …

A recent study led by microbiologists from Northwestern University has revealed that a highly diverse collection of viruses is present on everyday items like showerheads and toothbrushes. However, these viruses do not infect humans but instead target bacteria. The research focused on bacteriophages, or “phages,” which are viruses that infect and reproduce within bacteria. The findings, published in the journal …

Could robots eventually think like humans? It may sound far-fetched, but researchers at King’s College London claim they have found a way to make it happen. The researchers suggest that by providing robots with complex instructions without relying on electricity, it could free up more space in the robotic “brain,” ultimately helping them to “think.” The team used a new …

NASA’s Curiosity rover is currently conducting research within Mars’ Gale Crater, shedding light on the planet’s climatic evolution from conditions that might have supported life to a state where life as we know it cannot survive. Evidence suggests that Mars once harbored extensive liquid water. However, today’s Martian surface is harsh and inhospitable. Despite these conditions, NASA’s robotic missions continue …

In the stark white expanse of Antarctica, a peculiar structure resembling a pyramid rises from the Ellsworth Mountain range, piercing through the snow. This oddity has sparked curiosity and debate: Is it a genuine pyramid or merely a mountain? Unlike the pyramids found in countries famous for their ancient structures like Egypt, Sudan, Mexico, Italy, Iraq, and Peru, pyramids are …

In an intriguing new study, astronomers have discovered that tiny primordial black holes (PBHs) might be hidden within celestial bodies like moons, asteroids, or even planets such as Earth. These black holes are believed to have formed shortly after the Big Bang from extremely dense regions of subatomic matter that underwent gravitational collapse. Currently, scientists classify PBHs as a form …

The UK government is expected to roll out a groundbreaking blood test that can detect the earliest signs of the 12 most common cancers, potentially before symptoms even appear. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who has personally battled cancer, plans to introduce this government-funded universal blood screening within the next five years. **Details of the Breakthrough Blood Test** The test, based …
