Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a groundbreaking electrochemical cell that converts bicarbonate, derived from captured carbon dioxide, into formate, a potent green fuel. This innovation could be a major breakthrough in carbon capture and utilization technology. The new electrochemical cell uses reactive carbon capture to directly produce formate ions from dissolved CO2 in … Read more
A unique situation unfolded at Chase Field in Phoenix on Tuesday night, when a colony of bees decided to camp out atop backstop netting, delaying the start of the Los Angeles Dodgers-Arizona Diamondbacks game by nearly two hours. The bees’ sudden appearance forced fans to evacuate high-priced seats behind home plate. Beekeeper Matt Hilton was … Read more

A team of asteroid dynamics researchers from Universidad Complutense de Madrid Ciudad Universitaria has discovered that a small asteroid, called 2024 PT5, will make one orbit around the Earth starting this month before departing back into the solar system. According to their calculations published in Research Notes of the AAS, the asteroid is expected to … Read more
A recent study by Lior Shamir, an associate professor of computer science, has found evidence supporting the century-old “Tired Light” theory that questions the validity of the Big Bang theory. The research used imaging from three telescopes and over 30,000 galaxies to measure the redshift of galaxies based on their distance from Earth. The study … Read more

Scientists have discovered three new species of ancient Tasmanian tiger ancestors in Australia, dating back 25-23 million years ago. These findings suggest that marsupial predators were more widespread in ancient Australia than previously thought. The newfound species are related to the Tasmanian tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus), which was once found across the Australian mainland, Tasmania, and … Read more
Archaeologists from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Murcia (UM) have challenged the long-held theory that warrior groups with a “Steppe” genetic component from Eastern Europe violently replaced the male population of the Iberian Peninsula around 4,200 years ago. Instead, their study suggests that groups with Steppe ancestry mixed with demographically … Read more
