Scientists at NASA recently tested one of three instruments for refueling spacecraft in space. In terms of space missions and launches, fuel plays an extremely important. The integrity of a rocket and even, in some cases, the safety of a human crew depend on the quality and maneuverability of the […]

NASA News: Potentially Dangerous Asteroid will Pass Near Earth in September
An asteroid double-size larger than the famous Empire State Building in New York will pass near Earth on September 14 at a distance of at about 5.3 million kilometers. NASA has included it in the category of “potentially dangerous” space objects. According to NASA’s Center for the Study of Near-Earth […]
Magnetized Liquid: A Discovery Made by Mistake
A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst accidentally managed to obtain, in the laboratory, the first permanent magnetized liquid in the world. According to a new study published in the latest issue of the journal Science, the drops in this liquid move in unison and can be […]
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Withstood the Most Difficult Test
Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity withstood the most difficult verification test to date, according to a study published in the journal Science. A team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) announced that their research is the most comprehensive test of general relativity near the supermassive […]
In-vitro Fertilization: Researchers Found a Method to Determine the Sex of a Baby
Japanese researchers have found a method to select spermatozoids with X and Y chromosomes in mice, in order to determine the sex of a fetus. The method, researched on mice, allows the selection and separation of spermatozoids carrying X chromosomes from those carrying Y chromosomes, which opens the possibility of […]
Magnetic North Pole is in Constant Motion: Researchers Found the Reason
The magnetic field of our planet is responsible for blocking a large amount of the solar radiation out of the Earth, which could lead to the total disappearance of the planet’s atmosphere and ocean. In turn, this can lead to the extinction of life on Earth. Data collected over the […]
Scientific Milestone: Researchers Managed to Translate Thoughts to Speech
Neuroscientists at Columbia University have created a system that translates thoughts into speech. By monitoring brain activity, technology can reconstruct words that a person hears, with unprecedented clarity. This may lead to new ways for computers to communicate directly with the brain. It can also help people who can’t speak, […]
Major Scientific Success: Brain Signals Translated to Speech
People whose speech ability has been lost due to a stroke or other medical condition now have hope because of technological innovation that uses brain activity to produce synthesized speech. Scientists from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) implanted electrodes into the brains of volunteers and decoded signals from […]
