Prime Numbers Surprisingly Share a Pattern With Atom Distribution in Crystals
Often known as “the building blocks of mathematics,” prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians for centuries due to their highly unpredictable and seemingly random nature. However, a team of researchers at Princeton University have recently discovered a strange pattern in the primes’ chaos. Their novel modelling techniques revealed a surprising similarity between primes and certain naturally occurring crystalline materials, a similarity … Continue reading
Collection of Unique Genes May Hold Answers to the Mysteries of our Evolution
Scientists have discovered an exciting collection of genes that are unique to humans and could hold the key to learning more about our species’ evolution. The find changes the previous understanding of DNA. Before now, these genes were thought to play similar roles across different organisms, but new computational analysis has found that they are actually human-specific. The exciting discovery … Continue reading
Compound Toxic to Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Discovered by Scientists
Deadly, drug-resistant superbugs that endanger millions every year could soon be knocked out after scientists have discovered a compound that is toxic to the dangerous bacteria but not to humans. Gram negative bacteria is a multi-drug resistant bug that threatens hospitals and nursing homes with deadly illnesses like pneumonia and bloodstream infections. It is an incredibly difficult infection to treat … Continue reading
Collision with a Dwarf Planet May Explain Why Our Moon is So Strange Looking
The far side of the moon is weirder than we previously thought and new research indicates that, in the distant past, the moon could have faced off against an unknown object in a massive collision that changed its face. On the near side that faces Earth, we can see large dark areas of volcanic basalt dotting the lunar landscape. Meanwhile, … Continue reading
ALIEN Organic Matter Discovered in South African Mountains
A team of researchers studying a volcanic deposit in South Africa’s mountains has discovered a rock layer characterised by two “anomalous” signals that have since fuelled fascinating new theories. Scientists have reportedly discovered trace evidence of extraterrestrial organic matter in volcanic sediment from over 3.3 billion years ago in the South Africa’s Makhonjwa Mountains. “This is the very first time … Continue reading
Researchers Believe Death is Just an Illusion
According to researchers from US, death is an illusion that is created by our conscience. Life does not end when someone dies. This theory explains that death is just a change to a different level of existence. We usually associate ourselves with our bodies. However, when the body dies, the consciousness does not end. The researchers explained that there are … Continue reading
Mars Was Once Blue and a “Water World” Like Earth, Claims Professor
The red planet is considered by the collaborating authors as the likeliest place for life to have evolved, as they claim in their book, called Planets, coming out next week. A new BBC2 series to be screened at the end of this month is set to reveal claims by Professor Brian Cox that the Earth could once have had three … Continue reading
Scientists Create Organism with Synthetic DNA
The live, lab-made microbe, which has a fully synthetic DNA code, is the first of its kind ever created. The breakthrough was made by researchers at the laboratory of molecular biology at Cambridge University who redesigned the DNA of E Coli – a commonly found strain of bacteria. The work involved making up to 18,000 edits to the genome, then … Continue reading
Wandering Earth: Could We Move Our Planet ?
Would it really be possible to physically move our entire planet to a different orbit using giant thrusters? In the Chinese science fiction movie ‘The Wandering Earth’, humanity attempts to avoid a collision with Jupiter by using thrusters to move our planet out of the way. But just how feasible is this idea ? Space systems engineer Matteo Ceriotti lays … Continue reading
Astronomers Have Found a Test to Narrow Down What Existed Before The Big Bang
Today our middle-aged Universe looks eerily smooth. Too smooth, in fact. While a rapid growth spurt in space-time would explain what we see, science needs more than nice ideas. It needs evidence that whittles away contending arguments. We might finally know where to look for some. A team of physicists from the Centre for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) … Continue reading
