Enlarge / The James Webb Space Telescope continues to deliver on its promise of discovering the first galaxies. Nasa Data from the Webb Space Telescope has only been in the hands of astronomers for the past few weeks, but they’ve been waiting for this for years and apparently have analyzes underway. The result has been …

The launch of South Korea’s first lunar mission is only a week away. The Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, or KPLO for short, is set to launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket next Tuesday (August 2). The mission is seen as the first step in South Korea’s ambitious deep-space program, which also includes a robotic …

The researchers found that a new theoretical framework for unifying Hermitian and non-Hermitian physics is established by the duality between non-Hermiticity and curved spaces. A physics puzzle is solved by a new duality. According to traditional thought, deforming a flat space by bending or stretching it is necessary to create a curved space. A group …

Does anyone remember GLASS-z13? Nope? It was spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope and claimed to be the “oldest galaxy ever seen” and it was announced… six days ago. Yes, it’s true. Not even a week ago, two preprint articles published in the arXiv (pronounced “archive”) scientific article repository detailed some of the earliest …

Although we’ve seen scientists find new ways to use insects after they’ve died, it’s hard to imagine any group of researchers surpassing the work of a Rice University team that transformed wolf spiders without life in “necrobotic” claws. Yes, you read that right – and no, you’re not the only one with a sudden phantom …

Promising new work is underway to pursue a robotic interstellar mission to deep space. Called Interstellar Probe, this venture could capture a unified view of our heliosphere, in nearby interstellar space. It all sounds extremely noble, ambitious and difficult to do. But there’s no need to wait for new technology, proponents say — it’s here, …

The COVID-19 pandemic is by no means over, but over time scientists are learning more and more about the virus – and the different ways we can protect ourselves against it, including novel face masks. and improved. A new membrane respirator mask developed by researchers can capture and deactivate SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins when it comes …

New research into the factors that control the life and death of hair follicle cells could help people with baldness, as well as wound healing. Discovery could help end baldness and speed healing Scientists have discovered that a single chemical is essential for controlling when hair follicle cells divide and when they die. This breakthrough …

According to new research, people who play video games frequently show superior sensorimotor decision-making abilities and increased activity in key regions of the brain. The research results suggest that video games could be a useful tool for perceptual decision-making training. Superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and increased activity in key brain regions are demonstrated in frequent …
When Faye Yap, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, saw a dead spider curled up in the hallway, it made her wonder if it could be used as a robotic component. Turning dead spiders into mechanical claws may be some people’s idea of a nightmare scenario, but it could have tangible benefits. Spider legs can …
