[ad_1] In May 2018, a surprising study revealed an "unexpected and persistent" increase of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere. At that time, scientists were not able to determine the exact location of the pollutant and ozone-depleting gas, but the media later suggested that these clues would lead to a rural industrial city in China. Now, … Read more

A superconductor lets electricity flow perfectly, without losing anything. Now, scientists have discovered a superconducting material that can operate at record-breaking temperatures, reaching record levels, moving towards the goal of achieving such perfection at room temperature. Make … Read more

[ad_1] NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has already accomplished a great deal since arriving in the space known as Bennu at the end of last year. The spacecraft successfully entered orbit the asteroid, scanned its surface with a laser and learned a lot about its surface. But its mission is far from over and, in the long … Read more
