A significant discovery of ancient silver coins has been made on the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, located between Sicily and Tunisia. Archaeologists from the University of Tübingen, Germany, unearthed 27 Roman silver coins, known as “denarii,” dating back more than 2,000 years. The coins were found hidden in a hole in the wall during excavations […]

The White Shark Café, located in the Pacific Ocean between Baja California and Hawaii, is a mysterious region where great white sharks gather every winter and spring. This area, once thought to be an ocean desert, has puzzled scientists for years. Great white sharks, typically found off the coast of California, make a long journey […]

Patients suffering from chronic pain have limited treatment options, often relying on medications like opioids that come with harmful side effects and high addiction risks. A new study in mice, published in Current Biology journal, suggests a new way to use the placebo effect for treating chronic pain. By activating specific neurons in the brain […]

In 2006, a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome began decimating bat populations across New England. Over the following decade, the loss of these bats, essential for controlling insect populations, led to significant consequences for agriculture and human health, according to a new study. With fewer bats around to consume insects, farmers resorted to increased use […]

September 2024 may offer a unique opportunity to witness vibrant Northern Lights, especially around the fall equinox on September 22nd. Experts predict that geomagnetic storms could be stronger than usual during this period, thanks to the Russell-McPherron Effect. This phenomenon, first detailed in a 1973 paper, suggests that Earth’s magnetic field briefly aligns with the […]

A significant breakthrough in atomic physics occurred with the development of the first nuclear clock. This clock, based on the thorium-229 nucleus, has achieved a level of precision that could help test whether the fundamental constants of physics change over time. This remarkable advancement was achieved by a research team led by Jun Ye, a […]

China is set to launch its highly anticipated Tianwen-3 mission around 2028, aimed at collecting samples from Mars and bringing them back to Earth. Liu Jizhong, Chief Designer of the mission, announced this during the second International Deep Space Exploration Conference, known as the Tiandu Forum, held in Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The Tianwen-3 mission […]

Scientists have found a way to make mouse skin temporarily transparent by using a common food dye. A team led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, applied a solution containing tartrazine, a yellow food colouring, to the skull and abdomen of live mice. This allowed them to observe […]

Recent research suggests that orcas in the Iberian Peninsula may be using yachts as practice targets rather than simply attacking for revenge or play. This theory proposes that young orcas are practising their hunting techniques on sailboats, particularly targeting the rudders. Since 2020, there have been numerous reports of orcas ramming and damaging boats, and […]

Archaeologists have recently uncovered ten ancient burial mounds, known as kurgans, in Kazakhstan’s Ulytau region. These kurgans, dating to the Middle Ages, include several with a distinctive feature: stone ridges that resemble mustaches. Zhanbolat Utubaev, an archaeologist at the Margulan Institute of Archaeology, led the team that made this fascinating discovery. These so-called “mustached” kurgans are […]

SpaceX successfully launched a batch of next-generation spy satellites for the United States National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) late on 5th September 2024. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 11:20 p.m. EDT, sending classified satellites into orbit. The mission, designated NROL-113, is part of the NRO’s new satellite […]

A new study suggests that nanorobots, significantly smaller than blood cells, could deliver clot-forming drugs directly to brain aneurysms, potentially preventing strokes. Although this technology has only been tested on rabbits, it offers a promising alternative to treatments such as stents and coils, which sometimes require long-term blood thinners. Qi Zhou, a research associate in […]
