Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos was given some bad news this past week when his unmanned spaceship from his Blue Origin company blew up during a test flight and at this time the company has not revealed what might have caused the explosion.
Bezos and Blue Origin are attempting to create a line of commercial
What is believed to be the world’s oldest Wolly Rhino has been discovered at the Tibetan Palteau, the creature lived nearly 3.6 million years ago and roamed northern Asia and Europe during the regions ice age.
In a report published in the Science Journal researchers says the discovery supports the belief that the Tibetan foothills served as an evolutionary cradle for later animals.
Speaking the the
A new site being explored during NASA’s ongoing Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER) has yielded soil samples unlike any examined before on the planet and that appear more favorable for life, scientists said.
Opportunity, the resilient solar-powered rover that has been inspecting the surface of the Red Planet for the past seven years,
I still remember when the very first heart transplant was done and the incredible reaction to the news. Even though the patient died shortly afterwards that boundary had been crossed and we knew that we had the ability to perform human transplants and for many people since then their world has changed because of this knowledge.
The biggest problem facing heart transplants is that live organs that have been harvested for transplanting have had a very short “life-span” and have been
Space, the final frontier, well okay maybe I’m getting a little carried away there but for as long as man has realized that our planet is only a part of a larger galaxy, the Milky Way, they have wondered how it was originally created.
Now some astrophysicists at the University of Zurich and the University of California at Santa Cruz have managed to create an amazing simulation of what happened billions of years ago to create what we know of as the Milky Way galaxy.
“The simulation
For the first since 2001 the International Space Station may soon go unmanned. Last week a Russian spaceship crashed back to earth, leaving Russian engineers to determine what caused the crash with only a short term fix available if they decide to relieve the six astronauts currently aboard the space station.
According to Space.com, three of
Human augmentation is gaining more public attention as science moves rapidly forward with ever increasing reports of technology being used to help make people with disabilities be able to have a better quality of life.
From haptic sonar and the even more cutting edge Eyeborg for the blind to prostheses for those
I remember reading about this back last year when this idea first surface but I figured that actually seeing a working model would be years out. Well, it turns out I was wrong because Rob Spence, who came up with the idea, has just shown off a working model of his “Eyeborg”.
With the help of a team of engineers Spence worked to adapt an endoscope into a working in-socket video camera. You turn it off an on by waving a magnet near the false eyeball. When turned on it will transmit a video signal to a
When doing a routine survey of the nearby Pinwheel Galaxy, located a relatively short 21 million lightyears away from our solar system, scientists managed to capture a star, dubbed PTF 11kly, going supernova.
The type Ia supernova is the nearest supernova to occur in 25 years, when a star went supernova in the nearby Centaurus A Galaxy, roughly 15 million light years away.
Type Ia supernovae are thought to occur when a dying star,
Astronomers combing the southern sky have found a new planet that appears to be nothing more than a giant diamond.
According to Space.com PSR J1719-1438 is the remnant of a dead star which spins 10,000 times a minute around a white dwarf, pressure is so high on that planet that it crystallized the dead star’s carbon into an actual diamond.
While the planet
