Signs of alien civilization: Did astronomers detect “technosignatures?”
Breakthrough Listen, the most extensive search yet for extraterrestrial intelligence, made the headlines recently after project researchers discovered a mysterious radio signal coming from Proxima Centauri, the nearest known star to the sun. Though the researchers are not done with their study, there has been speculation that the signal is a “technosignature” produced by an alien civilization. Proxima Centauri […]

Study on coronavirus mouth infection may explain patients’ loss of taste
The loss of taste and smell is one of the most common and peculiar symptoms of COVID-19. While it’s not rare for viral upper respiratory infections to cause a temporary or even permanent loss of those senses, the symptom is particularly prevalent in COVID-19. Still, little is known about why many COVID-19 patients have it. Now, an international […]

Scientists discover microbes in harsh deep-sea environments – is this evidence of alien life?
A study published Dec. 4 in the journal Science revealed that life can exist even in places on Earth where ordinary life forms could not possibly survive. An international team of scientists drilled a hole into the ocean floor and found evidence of single-celled organisms living in deep ocean sediments at boiling temperatures. “We found chemical evidence of the organisms’ […]

Does the solar system have a “Planet Nine”? Researchers say it’s a possibility
A planet orbiting a pair of stars more than 300 light-years away may offer clues to a mystery object called “Planet Nine” that is thought to reside in the outskirts of the solar system. Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile performed the first complete orbital measurements on a Jupiter-like exoplanet whose orbit is unusually […]

Study suggests the ice age was caused by global cooling after a giant asteroid collision in space
An international team of researchers suggests that a massive asteroid collision in space may have triggered the ice age 460 million years ago. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers said that the breakup of an enormous asteroid sent massive amounts of debris whirring through the solar system, shrouding Earth with a thick blanket […]

Researchers detect ripples in space and time from a “Pac-Man” black hole that swallowed a neutron star 900 million years ago
Spacetimes ripples that recently passed through Earth may have been caused by a black hole swallowing a neutron star 900 million years ago, according to Australian researchers. Studies are still underway to confirm the merger. But initial findings suggest that a black hole going “Pac-Man” on a neutron star likely caused the gravitational waves detected on […]

Space station experiment shows how bacteria can be used for space mining
An international team of researchers has successfully used bacteria to mine precious resources in space, boosting the bid to establish a self-sustaining human presence in distant worlds. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that microbes enhanced the extraction of rare earth elements while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The experiment demonstrates that using […]

Mysterious blobs of radio emissions found floating in space
Astronomers are scratching their heads over ghostly blobs of radio emissions found floating in space last year. Ray Norris of Western Sydney University said that the mysterious blobs, which were dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORCs), weren’t quite like anything known before. “[We ran] through all the possibilities and conclude these enigmatic blobs don’t look like […]

Carbon fibers can be used as battery electrodes that store energy directly: Possible applications include lighter aircraft and vehicles of the future
A study published in the journal Multifunctional Materials shows that carbon fibers can serve as multi-purpose components of vehicles, acting as battery electrodes that store energy while at the same time performing other key functions like providing structural support. Such materials can reduce the weight of future electric vehicles and extend the driving distance per battery charge. European researchers tested the ability […]

Scientists develop an electrochemical process that removes toxic mercury from contaminated water
Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden developed a method that can remove nearly 100 percent of toxic mercury from contaminated water. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that the electrochemical process works by encouraging mercury ions to form an alloy with another metal. This effectively draws the heavy metal out […]
