Researchers Prove Black Theory in a Laboratory Setting
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the City University of New York Graduate Center (CUNY-ASRC) have…
Antarctica is classified as a desert because it receives less precipitation than the Sahara, yet it holds about 70 per cent of the planet’s fresh water, locked in an ice sheet averaging over two kilometres thick across the continent
The South Pole gets less snow in a year than Phoenix gets rain. At the Amundsen-Scott South Pole…
The Late Ordovician extinction 443 million years ago struck in two pulses driven by opposite climate extremes: the first came as the planet cooled, glaciers spread and sea levels collapsed; then the ice retreated, the seas warmed and lost their oxygen, killing many of the species that had survived the cold
The Late Ordovician extinction, close to the Ordovician-Silurian boundary about 443 million years ago, is usually read as…

When Voyager 1 launched in 1977, each of its main computer systems had less than 70 kilobytes of memory — smaller than a typical phone photo — and that 1970s hardware is still carrying out commands from Earth nearly five decades later
The most distant object humans have ever built runs on computers with less memory than a typical phone…
New dark matter theory could solve multiple cosmic mysteries at once
Dark matter has long been one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries. It cannot be seen or touched, yet its…
Sperm whales dive to depths of nearly 2,250 metres on a single breath, their heads packed with a waxy oil called spermaceti that solidifies under cold pressure and helps them sink like a stone toward prey they hunt in total darkness
A sperm whale can hold its breath for over an hour and drop nearly 2,250 metres below the…
Voyager’s signal now reaches Earth as a whisper measured in fractions of a billionth of a watt, fainter than almost anything our antennas were built to hear
Voyager is not loud anymore. It never really was. The spacecraft carries a transmitter with roughly the power…
