Here is the rewritten text: The European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope has experienced two technical issues. Launched in 2013, Gaia measures the positions and motions of distant stars, providing valuable data for astronomers. Firstly, a fast-moving micrometeoroid punctured Gaia’s shield, causing it to send junk data to Earth. This is not unusual, as high-speed … Read more
When negativity looms, five metaphors help us resume positivity. Here’s how: Non-toxic positivity involves acknowledging difficulties and seeking out positives. We can find ways to shift our perspective in both short-term and long-term situations. One metaphor is like diluting salty water with more pleasant water – we can’t delete negative experiences but adding positives can … Read more

The study found that those with high emophilia tend to have more romantic relationships and be unfaithful more often. Emotional love is an intense attraction characterized … Read more
Researchers have developed a new technique to create nanostructures inside silicon wafers with unprecedented control. Silicon is crucial for modern electronics, photovoltaics, and photonics. However, traditional methods were limited due to the difficulties posed by existing lithographic techniques. The team from Bilkent University overcame this challenge by using spatial light modulation to create a non-diffracting … Read more
Researchers at Bilkent University have made a breakthrough in nanostructuring inside silicon, allowing for the creation of complex structures with unprecedented control. Traditional methods were limited by the micron-scale resolution of laser lithography and surface-level nanofabrication. The team developed an innovative technique using spatial light modulation to overcome optical scattering effects and achieve precise energy … Read more
Lab-grown pet food is coming to UK shelves as regulators give Meatly the green light to sell its cultivated chicken pet food. Meatly took a small sample of cells from an egg, provided it with nutrients and grew the cells in a lab. The company claims its product is safe, nutritious and free from genetically … Read more
Scientists were amazed when a rock that NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover drove over cracked open to reveal yellow sulfur crystals. Since October 2023, the rover has been exploring a region of Mars rich with sulfates, but this is the first time it has found pure sulfur. The discovery was unexpected because elemental sulfur doesn’t usually … Read more
Ultra-light electrostatic VTOL drone flies indefinitely in sunlight Researchers at China’s Beihang University have developed CouloumbFly, a palm-sized miniature rotorcraft that weighs just 4.21 g, or about as much as four paperclips. The drone can fly all day if the sun is shining, lifting its own mass without any power besides sunlight. The key to … Read more
