A dramatic incident occurred on Thursday in Seoul, South Korea, when an elderly couple’s car fell into a sinkhole while they were traveling to the Seongsandaegyo Bridge. The 76-year-old woman suffered a cardiac arrest and was given CPR; her pulse returned later. It is unclear what injuries, if any, the 82-year-old man sustained. The incident … Read more
A rare, ultra-rare, orange lobster named Clementine has been returned to its natural habitat after being discovered in a Long Island supermarket seafood section. According to Humane Long Island, only one in 30 million lobsters is naturally orange, making Clementine a unique find. Initially, the store’s owner reached out to an aquarium to take Clementine … Read more
A woman has finally met her long-lost relatives after a 121-year-old postcard was delivered at an address in Swansea. The postcard, sent in 1903, arrived at the home of Swansea Building Society earlier this month and led to a reunion between descendants of its sender and recipient. Helen Roberts, who still lives in the area, … Read more
A recent study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics suggests that the universe may have had a secret life prior to the Big Bang. Researchers propose that the universe underwent a period of contraction before the Big Bang, creating black holes that could potentially explain the enigmatic nature of dark matter. According … Read more
Astronomers have long been fascinated by the strange phenomenon of “heartbeat” black holes, which emit X-ray signals that resemble a human heartbeat. Now, new research may finally explain why these black holes exhibit this behavior. Black holes can develop a “heartbeat” when they consume enormous amounts of gas in a binary system, where they share … Read more
Scientists have developed a revolutionary cooling device that can reduce energy consumption by 50% compared to traditional air conditioning methods. The innovative device uses radiative cooling technology, which cools surfaces rather than blowing air. The Chinese team behind the project published their findings in Cell Reports Physical Science. Their prototype device uses thermoelectric cooling modules … Read more
The NASA-led BurstCube satellite has achieved a significant milestone by detecting its first gamma-ray burst, the most powerful type of explosion in the universe. The event, known as GRB 240629A, occurred on June 29 in the southern constellation Microscopium. BurstCube is designed to detect and study short gamma-ray bursts, which are brief flashes of high-energy … Read more
After a quarter-century of investigation, a fundamental question about the nature of quantum entanglement has been answered. Julio I de Vicente from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain has shown that maximally entangled mixed states for a fixed spectrum do not always exist, challenging long-standing assumptions in quantum information theory. The Institute for Quantum … Read more
A recent study published by Auburn University scientists has made a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease research, showing that troriluzole can prevent early-stage brain changes associated with memory loss and cognitive decline in mice. The researchers demonstrated that troriluzole reduces harmful glutamate levels, preserving memory and cognitive function. The study, recently published in the Journal of … Read more
A small asteroid is expected to hit the Earth today, but astronomers have reassured that it will not pose any danger. The tiny object, about one meter in size, will burn up in the atmosphere as it enters the planet’s orbit. Although it may provide a spectacle in the Philippines, where it is expected to … Read more
