Shaking Foundations: New Research Contradicts Established Theories on Earth’s Crust EvolutionFor billions of years, the Earth's crust has continued a slow process of reworking, as opposed to rapidly slowing its growth around 3 billion years ago, a study led by Penn State reveals. The new finding contradicts existing theories that suggest the rapid formation of tectonic plates earlier in Ear

Finally! Astronomers are Starting to See the First Galaxies Coming Together With JWSTOne of the James Webb Space Telescope’s principal science goals is to observe the epoch where we think that the first galaxies were created, to understand the details of their formation, evolution, and composition. With each deep look back in time, the telescope seems to break its own record for the most distant galaxy ever … Continue reading "Finally! Astronomers are Starting to See the First Galaxies Coming Together With JWST"

James Webb Space Telescope sees early galaxies defying 'cosmic rulebook' of star formation"It was like the galaxies had a rulebook that they followed — but astonishingly, this cosmic rulebook appears to have undergone a dramatic rewrite during the universe’s infancy."

Solar Power And Storage Prices Have Dropped By Almost 90%, Reports Indicate - Wonderful EngineeringQuite recently, a climate study by MCC – Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, based in Berlin made an eye-opening revel

Is explosive growth ahead for AI?As we plunge head-on into the game-changing dynamic of general artificial intelligence, observers are weighing in on just how huge an impact it will have on global societies. Will it drive explosive economic growth as some economists project, or are such claims unrealistically optimistic?

It's Official, Antimatter Falls Down in Gravity, Not UpSince the discovery of antimatter decades ago, particle physicists have wondered if these particles were repulsed by gravity. Einstein predicted that despite having opposite charges to its regular matter counterparts, antimatter should still behave like matter does concerning gravity. This has been tricky to confirm experimentally since it's hard to make enough antimatter to observe its behavior. Particle physicists have finally pulled it off, using the ALPHA-g experiment at CERN, generating antihydrogen atoms and then dropping them in a 3-meter tall vertical shaft.

Chinese Astronauts May Build a Base Inside a Lunar Lava TubeChina is the latest nation to study lunar lava tubes as locations for bases. They provide natural protection that's impossible to ignore.
