The space telescope of NASA designed to spot gamma rays, Fermi, has identified the farthest and most powerful blazars bursting with gamma rays. Blazars represent a type of galaxy in which huge black holes fuel intense emissions of gamma rays. Roopesh Ojha, an astronomer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, claimed that […]
Russia Cancels the Launch of the Proton-M Rockets
Russia has decided to cancel the launch of the Proton-M rockets. They will delay the launch with about three and a half months due to deficiencies in the engines. The announcement shadowed the accident which occurred with the Progress MS-04 spacecraft when the cargo crashed and destroyed the rockets just a few moments after launching. […]
Genetic Changes May Occur Due to Space Travelling
NASA will soon release the result of the study made on twins where scientists analyzed the effect of space traveling on human genes. The genetic experiment involved Scott and Mark Kelly, two astronauts, to reveal the effects of long-term space journeys on the human body. Previous studies already noted that space traveling has an impact […]
Global Warming Increases The Level Of Toxic Mercury
Climate change affects all of us, even if we don’t notice it. A new study shows that global warming could increase the level of toxic mercury in seas and oceans. In the last months, a lot of people have suffered mercury poisoning and this is going to get even worse. The level of toxic mercury […]
Grass Carp Have Invaded Three of the Great Lakes
Researchers revealed that grass carp had invaded three of the Great Lakes, becoming a serious threat to other fish which feed on the same aquatic plants as they do. The new scientific analysis was released on January 27. Scientists are trying to keep this phenomenon under control, struggling to avoid harming other ecosystems. The grass […]
A Pollution App Helps You Monitor Toxic Air in London
Londoners are now able to monitor air pollution through a pollution app. After the most severe warning regarding air toxicity had been issued across the capital, a new service was launched to help people monitor air pollution by using their computer screen or their smartphone. Airview is the app initiated by Blueair’s Swedish air purification […]
Hyperloop Pod Racers Prepare for SpaceX Tournament
UC Irvine team prepares for the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. The UCI students found out about the competition about two years ago. They started working on their designs, hoping to develop a prototype for a ground transportation system traveling at high-speed. After they managed to surpass the performance of other teams during project submissions but […]
NASA Unveils Differently Shaped Ridges on Mars
NASA revealed new images of differently shaped ridges on Mars. These deep ridges formed due to lava which flowed into previously formed cracks in the ground. They have later opposed to the process of erosion better compared to other materials around them. A new study regarding polygon-developing ridges provides an analysis of the network in […]
Scientists at Harvard Developed Metallic Hydrogen
Physicists at Harvard University claim that they managed to develop metallic hydrogen. They have compressed hydrogen at enormous pressures in such a way that the gas transformed into a shiny metal. This was a dream long desired by scientists to become a reality. They have been trying to accomplish their goal for 80 years. For […]
