CNN reports that as part of a new field called "organoid intelligence," a computer powered by human brain cells could shape the future. Organoids are lab-grown tissues capable of brain-like functions, such as forming a network of connections.
Science has proven beyond doubt that the Earth is round, dispelling the archaic notion that the planet could be flat, but that has not stopped the conspiracy theorists. The Flat Earth Society is gaining followers year on year who believe that NASA has been lying to us! But did you know that these famous faces are all Flat Earthers?
When the mysterious comet 'Oumuamua passed through the solar system in 2017, its odd trajectory led some to speculate it might be an alien spacecraft.
NASA and Axiom revealed a black prototype of a new spacesuit for the first moon missions since 1972. But astronauts have to wear white for safety.
The last five-planet alignment occurred in June 2022, marking the first time in 40 years since the last celestial spectacle took place
Grains ejected from other worlds could include signs of life
An asteroid big enough to wipe out a city will hurtle between Earth and the moon's orbit this weekend in a close encounter visible through binoculars and small telescopes. The chunk of space rock measuring up to 300ft (90m), around the size of Westminster's Elizabeth Tower (316ft or 96m) which houses Big Ben, will fly by at about 17,500mph. Passing at around 100,000 miles (168,000km) - less than half the distance between Earth and the moon - will give astronomers the chance to study the "city killer" asteroid at close quarters.
The so-called trapdoor spiders are found only in Queensland and build “trap doors” out of leaves to prey on insects
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/NavicoreThe world’s top alien hunter is about to embark on his most ambitious—and potentially history-making—mission yet. Harvard physicist Avi Loeb is organizing a $1.5-million expedition to Papua New Guinea to search for fragments of a very strange meteorite that impacted just off the coast of the Pacific nation in 2014.There’s compelling evidence that the half-meter-wide meteorite, called CNEOS1 2014-01-08, traveled from outside our solar
A new rare giant species of trapdoor spider has been discovered in Queensland, Australia. In research published on March 15, Euoplos dignitas are giant golden arachnids with a body measuring approximately 2 inches in length, not including the legs. They exhibit burrow-building behaviour, and are endangered due to loss of habitat from land clearing.
Scientists believe they have found an explanation for “unusual radar signatures” found at the edge of the solar system. Icy satellites that are in orbit around Jupiter and Saturn have perplexed scientists because they are so different from both rocky worlds and most ice on Earth. The markedly different radar signatures have led to questions about how they are composed.
Happiness and general well-being are not about money, but they do have something to do with a wallet.
