In July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to provide outstanding service to science. It delivers astonishingly important images of the universe, including images of the most distant and earliest galaxies we’ve ever seen. But the question is how do we know that these galaxies are really that old. Recently, it has been confirmed that JWST has indeed observed four of the most distant and oldest known galaxies, dating back 13.8 billion years. Not that only the James Webb Space Telescope alone has discovered distant and early galaxies. In December 2022, the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) observed…

Scientists have long debated where the world’s abundant water supply comes from. One theory is that the water was supplied by asteroids. But new research suggests Earth itself created its first water supply through chemical reactions between its surface’s hydrogen-rich atmosphere and magma. If the Earth were 0.2 to 0.3 times its current size, it could have retained its atmosphere for a long time, according to research published in the journal Nature. That atmosphere would have been much richer in hydrogen than Earth’s current atmosphere. Currently, the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Hydrogen exists in our Earth’s atmosphere. The researchers found…
Scientists have made a very important discovery. They have found out that gravity can create light in some cases. This is a big deal because it can help us learn more about the universe. The scientists used two different ideas to make this discovery. One idea is called the General Theory of Relativity, and the other is called Quantum Electrodynamics. They put these ideas together to make a new way of thinking. They found out that if there are strong gravitational forces near big things like black holes or neutron stars, gravity can make light. This discovery can help us…
Alibaba Group is considering completely overhauling its business structure and plan from scratch. Earlier, many of the world’s tech giants took such decisions to keep pace with reality. Keeping up with the times and adapting to change requires exceptional planning. In that case the business infrastructure needs to be changed. Alibaba Group of Holdings Limited was established 24 years ago. Currently, the company has taken the initiative to organize itself on a large scale. The company announced this in a statement on March 28. Daniel Shang, the company’s current chief executive officer, is optimistic about positive changes. The company is…
Scientists using the European Southern Observatory’s Large Telescope have achieved a breakthrough by capturing images of a planet located in another star system Known as PDS 70b, this planet has a mass several times that of Jupiter and is highly gas dominated. It orbits a star about 370 light-years away from our planet. In the image, the planet appears as a bright spot. Also, a dark ring is seen around it. The planet is blocking the light from the star. This incredible achievement proves that scientists have come a long way in studying planets beyond the solar system. The information…
Astronomers have discovered some unusual structures in space that they have identified as radio circles (ORCs). These structures are so large that they can be a million light-years in diameter, and scientists have found five of them so far, with the possibility of finding six more in the future. ORCs are a mystery to scientists, and they don’t know how they formed or what caused them to form. ORC1 (ORC J2103-6200) is called the first radio circle. These radio circles were recently discovered using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. Elis Paceto, a radio astronomer at the National Autonomous…
Everything around us is made up of tiny building blocks called atoms. Even our body is made up of atoms. These atoms are so small that if you were to count the total number of atoms in a human body it would be almost impossible. They number more than a million times the number of all visible stars in the universe. Atoms are made up of even smaller parts called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The most essential property of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity as a particular element in the periodic…
Perhaps you believe that only Earth is enough for us and that there are no planets beyond Earth that are suitable for habitation. But the number of Earth-like planets is likely to be in the billions. Our Milky Way Galaxy may have as many as 6 billion Earth-like planets, according to new research. Astronomers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have come to a startling conclusion by examining data from NASA’s Kepler project. That is, from 2009 to 2018, the Kepler planet-hunting satellite collected data on 200,000 stars. Scientists set criteria for selecting such a planet. The criteria included…
Using artificial intelligence (AI) to create audiobooks with the voices of dead actors is being practiced. Edward Herman is a famous actor who died ten years ago. His voice has been used in several recent audiobooks. DeepGen is a London-based AI startup. Herman’s family gave Dipgen access to his past recordings. As a result, DeepGen can analyze any sound and tone of Harman. Besides, it is becoming possible to work with these words and tones using artificial intelligence. Herman’s voice has been used to narrate new books recently. This technology is already being used in popular marketplaces such as Google…
In the newly released new movie Avatar, you can see the new world advanced in science and technology. There are many unknown aspects of this movie that will attract you. The story of this movie will beat many science fiction and adventure novels. The entire team managed to earn one billion US dollars after just 19 days of the movie’s release. This is quite a record for Avatar movies. The new Avatar movie mentions a mineral that doesn’t exist in reality. A mineral, on the other hand, obeys no laws of physics. Enjoy the story of the natives of a…
