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 at the Acropo…

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 to this remote location.

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 linked to pain relief,…

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 us…

Auroras are expected to be more intense around September’s equinox due to the Russell-McPherron Effect. The phenomenon occurs when Earth’s magnetic field temporarily aligns with the solar wind, allowing charged particles to penetrate and interact with our atmosphere. This interaction causes vibrant Northern Lights, especially during the equinox. With solar activity pe…

A new milestone in atomic physics has been reached with the development of the thorium-229 nuclear clock. This advanced clock offers a precision level that could potentially reveal whether the fundamental constants of physics, such as the speed of light and gravitational constant, change over time. Detected by Chuankun Zhang and his team at JILA, this breakthrough ena…

China is preparing to launch its Tianwen-3 mission around 2028, aiming to return samples from Mars. Liu Jizhong, Chief Designer, shared details at the Tiandu Forum in Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The mission will involve collecting samples from the Martian surface, returning them to Earth through a docking process in Mars’ orbit. Liu also highlighted the importan…

In a recent breakthrough, researchers led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, have developed a technique to make mouse skin temporarily transparent using a common food dye called tartrazine. By applying a solution of the dye mixed with water, scientists could observe the internal organs and blood vessels of live mice witho…

SpaceX successfully launched the NROL-113 mission on 5th September 2024, sending classified spy satellites into orbit for the United States National Reconnaissance Office. The mission was SpaceX’s second launch of the day, following an earlier Starlink mission. The Falcon 9 booster landed successfully on the droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Pacific Ocea…

Scientists have created nanorobots that could revolutionise the treatment of brain aneurysms by delivering clot-forming drugs directly to the weakened vessel area, reducing the risk of stroke. These robots, smaller than blood cells, were successfully tested in rabbits. The nanobots are guided using magnetic fields and heat, which release the drug at the aneurysm site,…
