The concept of timekeeping has always been fundamental to human civilization, influencing everything from daily routines to global communications. As humanity extends its reach beyond Earth, especially with plans for a sustained lunar presence, the importance of a standardized time measurement becomes not only beneficial but essential. NASA’s recent initiative to establish a Coordinated Lunar
A groundbreaking study from researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and Leipzig University presents findings that contradict long-standing notions regarding the relationship between atmospheric CO₂ levels and tropical temperatures. The research, recently published in *Science Advances*, spans the period from 1959 to 2011 and illuminates how the dynamics of carbon release and absorption
Experiencing pain can be an isolating and bewildering ordeal, often exacerbated by the well-meaning advice to simply breathe deeply and embrace the discomfort. However, emerging research challenges conventional perceptions of pain management by unveiling the potential of mindfulness meditation. This ancient practice, rooted in Hindu and Buddhist philosophies, has gained traction in Western medicine not
As climate change continues to pose severe threats to global ecosystems and human livelihoods, innovative approaches for carbon sequestration are urgently needed. Researchers from the University of Maryland, collaborating with specialists from the Canadian Ministry of Agriculture, have recently proposed an intriguing, economically viable method for storing atmospheric carbon: burying biomass. Their findings, published in
The field of quantum technology is continually evolving, unveiling new materials and methods that defy conventional understanding. An innovative development led by researchers from TU Dresden sheds light on the potential of extremely thin materials, composed of only a few atomic layers, which promise groundbreaking applications in electronics and quantum technologies. The recent experiment carried
The landscape of transportation in Nepal is undergoing a seismic shift, challenged by years of energy shortages and dependence on fossil fuels. A decade back, the idea of a taxi driver like Surendra Parajuli choosing an electric vehicle would have been ludicrous amidst regular power cuts. Today, however, the story has changed dramatically thanks to
The world of robotics is increasingly moving towards systems that emphasize safety, adaptability, and flexibility, challenging the traditional notion of rigid machines. At the forefront of this evolution are Fabric-Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators (FSPAs), which leverage the principles of soft robotics to achieve unique functionalities. These innovative mechanisms operate by inflating or deflating, allowing them
In early May of this year, a remarkable aurora displayed the immense power of solar storms and radiation. However, beyond these spectacular displays, the Sun can unleash something far more destructive known as “solar particle events”. These events involve blasts of protons directly from the Sun’s surface shooting out into space, potentially causing severe damage
The recent approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a new drug developed by Eli Lilly has brought hope to millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The drug, known as Kisunla, is designed to target the early symptoms of the disease, offering potential relief to patients experiencing mild cognitive impairment or
Jupiter’s moon Io has long been hailed as the most volcanically active world in our Solar System. With approximately 150 of its 400 active volcanoes erupting at any given time, Io is a true spectacle of constant lava and gas emissions. Thanks to the Juno probe’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM), scientists have gained valuable
Getting stung by a bee is already a painful experience, but imagine getting stung right in the eyeball. A 55-year-old man from Philadelphia faced this unfortunate situation when a bee stinger became lodged in his right eye. The man initially sought help at an emergency department, but little did he know that the situation would
