Our solar system is like the rest of the universe in that is incredibly vast. Some believe this can be advantage because it makes things easier to find and observe. However, nothing could be further from the truth. There are countless mysterious things and events that take place within the …

No matter how you view them, the fact is that diamonds are merely rocks that are billions of years old that have been subject to crushing pressures and hot temperatures. Another version of this activity is how our Earth is compressing its oceans into salty diamonds. In any event, we …

Scientists have created an algorithm that allows robots to evaluate chaos within any environment several orders of magnitude quicker than previous attempts. This new algorithm brings us a step closer toward home robots that would be able to quickly assess disordered and unpredictable spaces. Evaluating Common Events Like Bottlenecks “Robot …

The Department of Defense’s research arm, known as DARPA, is actually paying researchers and scientists to develop methods for instantly reading the minds of soldier through the use of such as genetic engineering of the brain, through nanotechnology, and using infrared beams. The reason is that they are seeking weapons …

When it comes to Neptune, it is certainly not a unique planet. Closely identical exoplanets and those gas giants that are much larger than Earth are believed to be the most common planets in the universe. However, when get too close to their sun; they are bombarded with stellar radiation …

Way down in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, there are literally hundreds of eyes hanging on suspended cables. Their job is to wait for flashes that provide valuable data. They are seeking the ghostly neutrino particles, which are able to tunnel straight through light-years of the universe and even …

Whenever an astronomer looks up at the night sky, they are not just seeking things we already know about. They also look up there for signs of things that we believe should exist but just have not been discovered just yet. And when you stop and consider all the different factors …

Amazingly, as we have watched the wonders of technology work its magic ever since we heard about the power of Moore’s Law, we are now starting to see the dark side of the new digital economy. And surprisingly, it’s the youngest generation of adults who have decided to revolt against …

A small grain discovered inside a meteorite in Antarctica is shedding light on how our solar system came into existence. Scientists sliced open a meteorite found within the LaPaz icefield located in Antarctica to reveal an interesting and surprising discovery. Within this meteorite was an inclusion that was determined to …

Why is it that philosophers and scientists go through all kinds of excuses and hesitations when it comes to admitting the animals have a consciousness? There are many reasons for this, some of them are much better than others. There is no doubt that this issue involves many sentiments and …

Recently, there have been scientists who have been working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that have discovered a way to trap and capture dark matter particles. This is considered to be revolutionary among particle physicists. Ever since the discovery of the famous Higgs Boson, physicists working on the Large …

Every nation today relies on high-speed electronic processes and systems that zip across geospace, cyberspace, and space – known as CGS. However, the real concern is whether or not an enemy can employ a weapon such as a tiny, inexpensive EMP device. This type of weapon could potentially deny individuals …

The specifics of America’s upcoming exascale supercomputer were reported during a ceremony at Argonne National Laboratory where both Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and Democratic Senator Dick Durbin were in attendance. This new supercomputer from Department of Energy is going to be built at the Argonne lab by Intel. And …

If you thought that you saw a headline recently that talked about reversing time, don’t panic – you were not seeing things. That was an actual study. If you remember your thermodynamic class in college, then you know that our universe is getting messier and messier by the minute. Just …

Mankind witnessed the birth of the Nuclear Age during the 20th century when the powerful energy of the atom was released. It looks as if this century will be known for the unimaginable power of quantum computers and artificial intelligence. This will eventually occur whenever computers learn to use the …

Recently, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) stated that they have formed a task force for the investigation of a frightening new illness that is afflicting our children. It is called Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and happens to be a polio-type illness. Most experts believe that it is caused by a virus. …

If everything can be worked out, three researchers from Harvard are hoping to start testing their idea of reducing the level of sunshine that the Earth receives. This will hopefully cool off the planet when it starts to heat up as a result of climate change. They are hoping to …

The planet of Venus, which is the second closest planet to our sun, is actually a very scary place for humans. Its atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, and there are clouds that actually rain sulfuric acid. The surface there is just a yellow desert which has a few volcanoes that …

We often hear that postmodernism is portrayed to students as an intellectual demon that is out to rip up truth by the roots and destroy all things that we value and hold dear. Actually, it’s a thinking system that stems from the work of some French thinkers that were around some …

Quantum mechanics is the part of physics that deals with the microscopic world. It has come about due to what could be some very strange things about our physical world. When we are working at the scale of electrons and atoms, the popular laws and equations that we use in classical …
