Scientists using the Very Large Telescope in Chile have discovered a new solar system with multiple exoplanets. The discovery is significant because it is the first time a solar system with an exoplanet has been directly observed. Most exoplanets have been discovered by observing the position of the star caused by the planet’s gravity. Direct imaging of exoplanets is difficult because they are faint and far away from their host stars. However, scientists were able to capture images of two large exoplanets orbiting the star TYC 8998-760-1 on the night of February 16, 2020. This solar system is located more…

Black holes have long been a mystery to scientists, but they have been thought of as relatively easy to describe. Researchers only needed three parameters to describe them: their mass, their angular momentum (how fast they’re spinning), and their electric charge. However, a paradox was introduced by Stephen Hawking in 1976 that says black holes are destroying information. According to the laws of quantum physics, information cannot be destroyed. So, scientists have been trying to figure out what’s going on. Hawking argued that black holes are destroying information because the radiation they emit (known as Hawking radiation) is thermal, which…

We want to send robots to other planets to explore new things. One of the new robots is called EELS, and it looks a lot like a snake. Its task is to look for signs of life on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Enceladus looks like a big block of ice from the outside. But below the surface, you will find the existence of sufficient water. Liquid water lies all over the Moon beneath the icy crust. This becomes more apparent when looking into surface cracks. This water contains a substance called silica nanograins. It is formed when water and rock mix…

Scientists have developed a new type of robot using cells from an African frog called Xenopus laevis. They call these robots “Xenobots”. Usually, robots are always made from metal and electronics. Unlike traditional robots, xenobots are made entirely from living cells. Scientists used a computer to create designs for the xenobots. The frog cells are then manipulated and modified with special tools. Its cells were arranged in such a way that the xenobot was able to move around and carry anything. Xenobots can survive for about a week before starting to break down. Although Xenobot is still in the early…

Scientists have researched why bears are intelligent animals and why their cognitive abilities are greater than expected. Researchers have tried to find out the factors that make them intelligent animals. Much remains to be learned about the knowledge and intelligence of bears, but studies have shown that they are more intelligent than we thought. For example, black bears have been shown to be able to count, distinguish between different classes of objects, and recognize images on a computer screen as real objects. They are very skilled, can use tools, and have an excellent sense of smell. Bears can be intelligent…

Scientists believe that we may receive a message from extraterrestrial life as early as 2029. This is because some of the stronger radio signals we send out reach distant stars, and if any of these stars host aliens, our signals may respond. But the chances of this happening are very low. Our signals are weak and sparse, and the possibility of other civilizations existing in our galaxy still seems pretty slim. But while the odds are slim, some scientists believe it can still be researched. To look for evidence of alien civilizations, a team of astronomers followed deep-space radio signals…

China is planning a new type of train called a “hyperloop” that can travel very fast. It could go as fast as 1,000km/h, which is faster than most airplanes. The Chinese Academy of Engineering and rail authorities looked at many different places to put the new train. They decided that the best place for it would be between Shanghai and Hangzhou. These are two big cities in China that are very important for different reasons. The new train is very special because it uses magnets to make it go. This means it doesn’t need wheels to move like a regular…

A team of scientists from Australia and Japan managed to discover the deepest fish ever recorded in the ocean using a camera and some bait. The team photographed an unknown species of snail of the genus Pseudoliparis at a depth of 27,349 feet below the ocean surface. The team embarked on a two-month expedition in August 2022 to explore three deep trenches in the North Pacific. Operations were conducted in Ryukyu Trench, Japan Trench and Izu-Ogasawara Trench. The study was conducted on deep-sea fish populations over 10 years. The tiny fish was caught on camera in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in…

Aging proceeds through complex processes. It involves the breakdown of various cellular processes in our body. Scientists continue to research why and how we age, as well as whether the aging process can be accelerated. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that our genetic material is turned into proteins through the process of transcription. Errors can occur when the transcription process proceeds too quickly. Studies have shown that slowing down the transcription process can increase lifespan. It may also be possible to develop the ability of cells to divide and grow. DNA is converted into RNA through…

Oddly shaped lancetfish has recently been showing up off the coast of the United States. Usually, this type of fish is rarely seen. In such a situation, fisheries experts are in a confusing situation. There have been reports of sightings of this species on the beaches of Organ State Park. Lancetfish have large eyes and dagger-like fangs. It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters. This species of fish can be found in water as deep as 3300 feet below sea level. It is a deep sea fish and grows up to 7 feet long. They have a large…
