Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made one of the highest-performance cameras ever composed of sensors that count single photons, or particles of light. With over 1,000 sensors or pixels, NIST’s superconducting camera can count […]
Atos, a French digital transformation company, announced today it is partnering with French startup Pasqal to develop a quantum accelerator based on neutral atom technology for High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems. The technology would make it possible to strengthen the computing […]
We wrote about NASA back in 2018 after the U.S. space agency received a response from Voyager 1 spacecraft that was 13 billion miles away after 37 years of inactivity. The twin space probe, Voyager 2 was launched by NASA 16 days […]
Calithera Biosciences is a San Francisco-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery and development of targeted, small-molecule therapies that disrupt cellular metabolic pathways to preferentially block tumor cell growth and enhance immune-cell activity. Today, the company received a new research award […]
To date, coronavirus has claimed over a million lives around the world. It won’t be surprising to see anything good coming out of this pandemic. At the same time, most of the modern inventions were developed during difficult times in […]
Researchers from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) confirmed for the first time that molecular water has been discovered on the sunlit surface of the moon, indicating “water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to […]
Yesterday we wrote about China’s nuclear-capable bomber after a new video circulating on social networks shows a Chinese H-6N bomber with a weapon system. The video, which was recorded by a Chinese civilian, showed the footage of the bomber as it was landing […]
Is coronavirus a prelude to war? With this question, we’re not suggesting that coronavirus was engineered in a lab as a bioweapon or being used as a bioweapon. The point is more about the lack of preparedness and the fact that […]
Struggling to get a phone signal at home on planet Earth? Perhaps you’ll have better luck on the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced it has selected Nokia to build the first broadband wireless network on the moon, the Finnish […]

Today, over a billion people worldwide and over 75 million people in the US alone are considered at high risk of developing various sight-threatening and life-threatening conditions. Over 75% of them never get checked. Enter AEYE Health, a New York and Tel […]
Two American scientists Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice, and British scientist Michael Houghton were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology on Monday for the discovery of the Hepatitis C virus. The head of the Nobel Committee, Thomas […]
Albert Einstein formulated his theory of general relativity over 100 years ago. Using the equation E = mc2, Einstein reasoned that gravity is the warping of space and time. E = mc2 is the world’s most famous equation, but what […]
Scientists have recently discovered three new underground lakes near the south pole of Mars. According to a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, the detection of liquid water by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding […]
In August we wrote about NASA after the space agency awarded a multi-million contract to SpaceX, Blue Origins, and Dynetics as part of its efforts to return astronauts to the moon by 2024. As part of the contract, SpaceX will develop […]
As we get older, we lose our hearing. Hearing loss occurs when the tiny hair cells are damaged or die. However, unlike other cells in our body, the hair cells do not regrow, so most hearing loss caused by hair cell damage […]
As part of its ambitious plan to improve its electric car’s range and power, Tesla today unveiled plans to produce 46 by 80 “tabless” battery cells in a series of innovation announcements during its Battery Day event. Tesla said it will produce […]
Australia is a continent filled with great beauty. However, the continent is also filled with different landscapes, mysteries, and dangerous animals. In addition, some of the world’s most poisonous plants are also found in Australia. These plants may seem innocuous, […]
Remember the California Gold Rush? That’s a child’s play compared to the asteroid mineral rush that NASA is set to launch in 2022. Known as 16 Psyche, it is one of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt. The asteroid is […]
Scientists announced on Monday they’ve detected trace amounts of phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus, which could be a potential indicator of life on Earth’s inhospitable neighbor. This is the first compelling sign of potential life beyond Earth. The same phosphine gas, […]
