A new White House Manufacturing Order was signed by U.S. President Joe Biden last week. This executive order was put in place to ensure that technology invented through federally funded research would be manufactured in America. At least, as much as it can be. However, one should not celebrate this entirely just yet. The new […]

Bioengineers recently did something incredible. During an AI search for Neanderthal proteins, they actually were able to “technically” bring some molecules back from the dead. Performing molecular de-extinction is not exactly an easy process. To do this, the researchers applied computational methods to data about proteins from our modern humans along with our long-dead relatives/ancestors, […]

If you’ve been outside dating back to even May of this year, you’ve likely been experiencing major heat waves where you’re located. We’ve also seen a rise in storms in some places as a result of cool & warm air smashing into one another too. The summer heat wave we’re experiencing now does seem different […]

On Earth, we have the “Northern Lights” and “Southern Lights.” These are auroras that come through mostly when our magnetosphere is deflecting off solar rays from the top or bottom of the planet. Yet there are auroras on Mercury and most other planets too. When it comes to the auroras on Mercury, you see a […]

A newly discovered dinosaur, given the name Iani smithi after Janus, the Roman God of Change, was an early ornithopod. The species was the group that ultimately gave us the commonly known duckbill dinosaurs. You’ve probably seen some of those dinosaurs like the Parasaurolophus or Edmontosaurus. Even if you don’t know the names off the […]

A study published in the PLOS ONE Journal by Jean-Claude Marquet & colleagues from the University of Tours, France claimed to find the oldest known Neanderthal cave engravings ever discovered. They were found in a cave in France, which was critical information for scientists. For a while, we knew that Homo Sapiens had navigated into […]

Virgin Galactic, the space division of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, will be taking its first spaceflight this week. The “Galactic 01” mission is expected to take place on June 29th. It will be the company’s first fully commercial spaceflight, which is a pretty big deal for them. Branson is trying to keep up with Amazon […]

In a significant first for the field of astronomy, the James Webb Space Telescope was able to detect starlight from distant galaxies with quasars. A quasar, for those unaware, is extremely bright but since they are powered by black holes, it is rare that we can ever detect them. It is even harder to see […]

We’ve all seen how difficult it can be to be on the organ transplant list. Most of those on the list need a kidney, roughly 90% in fact. However, several others need hearts. A new study has now found a way to hopefully expand the donor pool for hearts. How? Well, through reanimated hearts. The […]
