[ad_1] An artist rendering of 55 Cancri e, a carbon-rich exoplanet. For the first time in the laboratory, experiments carried out as part of the NIF Discovery Science program reach the extreme pressures that are relevant to understanding the structure of the carbon that occupies the interior of these exoplanets.

[ad_1] NASA’s next Mars rover’s long journey into deep space is almost over. The size of the car Perseverance rover, which launched on July 30 of last year, is expected to land in the 45-kilometer-wide Jezero Crater on February 18. “I am delighted to be here today as our countdown to Mars goes from a … Read more
[ad_1] A photographer captured fascinating images of a soap bubble freezing and turning into a delicate snowball after the temperatures drop in Winnipeg, Canada. The stunning images were captured by Heather Hinam, Canadian naturalist, artist, photographer and educator. She shared the video on Twitter, noting that “cold, clear days with very little wind are great … Read more
[ad_1] Understanding past climate change is essential for putting modern global warming in context. Climate reconstructions during the Holocene – the current interglacial epoch, which began 11,700 years ago – based on geological evidence suggest that a peak in global average annual temperatures between 10,000 and 6,000 years was followed. a cooling trend, which was … Read more
[ad_1] The giant dinosaur Spinosaurus acted like modern herons or storks, taking fish and other aquatic prey at the water’s edge or in shallow water, but also searching for terrestrial prey and occasionally scavenging, according to new research by paleontologists from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Maryland and the National Museum of … Read more
[ad_1] Yes, it’s true: it rises during the day and can be seen all night long all over the world, barring clouds or bad weather. Each moon has its own name associated with the full moon.

On December 14, the career of Chilean enduro athlete Pedro Burns took a new step … Read more
[ad_1] Fast-forward quantum computations are exceeding the time limits imposed by decoherence, which plagues today’s machines. A new algorithm that speeds up simulations could bring greater usability to current and short-term quantum computers, paving the way for applications to run beyond strict time limits that hinder many quantum computations. “Quantum computers have a limited time … Read more
[ad_1] We may not know what dark matter is, but scientists now have a better idea of what to look for. Based on quantum gravity, physicists have developed new, much stricter upper and lower mass limits for dark matter particles. And they found that the mass range is much narrower than previously thought. This means … Read more
