Quantum computer time machine: Russian physicists can move small particles a fraction of a second into the past
Russian researchers claim that they developed a “time machine” capable of sending subatomic particles in the opposite direction of time’s arrow. The quantum device is said to transport tiny bits of matter a fraction of a second into the past. Conducted by the Moscow Institute of Physics & Technology (MIPT), the device used electrons as […]

Many earth-like planets appear to be tilted
Yale researchers theorize that most of the super-Earths discovered so far are likely to be heavily tilted on their axes, which means seasonal swings on the surface of these exoplanets are bound to be severe. The data collected by the Kepler space observatory shows that around 30 percent of the stars similar to the sun […]

“Are they dreaming?” Recent footage shows an octopus changing color while it SLEEPS
Do octopuses experience dreams? A viral video of an octopus changing its color during its slumber brought up interesting questions about the neural activity in its many “brains” during sleep periods. Octopuses can alter the color and texture of their skin in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, they rely on their color-changing capability to […]

Mass grave discovered in Peru: Hundreds of children and animals were sacrificed in the 15th century
In Peru, researchers unearthed a 15th-century burial site that held the remains of hundreds of children and juvenile llamas. Both human and animal occupants of the Huanchaquito-Las Llamas site were believed to be victims of a mass sacrifice for an ancient religion. The human remains numbered more than 140 and included both boys and girls. […]

Here come the stormtrooper spiders! New spider species all look the same, like clones from Star Wars
It’s the attack of the “clone” spiders! South American researchers discovered enough nearly identical species of spiders in Colombia to fill a new genus, which got named in honor of the iconic stormtroopers from the Star Wars movies. Dubbed Stormtropis, the new genus joins the bald-legged spiders (family Paratropididae). The arachnids flourish throughout most of […]

It took 10 years to prove: First exoplanet finally confirmed
Researchers confirmed the first exoplanet candidate found by the Kepler space observatory. It took them more than a decade because they got the wrong impression of the planet’s size. The newly confirmed planet is called Kepler-165b. Situated very close to its parent star, it completes one revolution in less than four Earth days. For years, […]

How the continents were formed: Researchers explain how asteroid bombardment formed Earth’s crust
An asteroid impact might very well end all life on Earth today. But in the early history of the planet, the constant shower of space rocks helped shape our planet’s crust. Eventually, they formed the continents that currently housed humankind. Heavy bombardment during the Hadean eon caused the rocks on the surface of the Earth to melt on a […]

Ancient Egyptian workshop discovered by archeologists, contains 3,000-year-old sandstone sphinx
Researchers recently dug up the ruins of a carving workshop that saw activity during the heyday of Ancient Egypt. The millennia-old facility held several incomplete sculptures, the grand prize being a sandstone statue of an imposing sphinx with the head of a ram. The Egyptian and Swedish archeologists who found the workshop theorized that it […]

Scientists use sound to apparently defy gravity
Scientists have made levitation a reality using a rather unexpected tool – sound. An Anglo-American research team experimented with sound-based levitation and succeeded in suspending small bits of plastic in mid-air. Their results will contribute to the field of soft robotics, which uses similar plastic materials to create flexible robots. The researchers also believed that […]

An asteroid exploded over Mars and bombarded its surface sometime in the last decade
It seems Mars took the space equivalent of a shotgun blast to the face during the last decade while humans weren’t looking. Between 2009 and 2016, an asteroid exploded in the atmosphere and rained burning debris all over the surface of the Red Planet. The numerous craters created by the asteroid impact got photographed by […]
