NASA spacecraft detected the family of sunspots, dark spots that freckle the face of the sun On May 29, 2020, outlining regions of complex magnetic fields, sported the biggest solar flare detected ever since October 2017. The flashes were too low to reach the threshold at which NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center provides signals. However, […]

Electrical engineers from the University at Buffalo have developed a gallium oxide-based transistor that can handle more than 8,000 volts. The study revealed how the tiny electronic switch can handle more than 8,000 volts, an extraordinary feat considering it’s about as thin as a sheet of paper. The newly developed transistor could lead to smaller […]

Scientists revealed that the Chicxulub impact crater may have prospered a vast and long-lived hydrothermal system after the catastrophic impact that wiped out dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The Chicxulub...

Scientists revealed that the Chicxulub impact crater may have prospered a vast and long-lived hydrothermal system after the catastrophic impact that wiped out dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The Chicxulub impact crater is the best-preserved large impact structure on Earth and has remained an attraction for several impact-related research for decades. Scientists observed that subsurface […]

Florida is a somewhat popular spot for rocket launches from NASA, SpaceX, and other space-related missions. But have you ever wondered why rocket engineers picked Florida for building the launchpad? Cape Canaveral, Florida makes for a great launch place, it’s more adjacent to the equator than most other parts of the contiguous United States, and […]

Amid an unpredictable weather forecast, SpaceX made history on Saturday, May 30, when its Crew Dragon capsule securely reached space carrying two NASA astronauts. Crew Dragon went on to successfully dock with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, May 31, which the astronauts are now safely aboard. The remarkable launch marks the first time […]

During earlier days of the universe, when the Milky Way galaxy was a cosmic baby, powerful magnetic fields may have severely crushed its growth. A new study suggests that our galaxy would be considerably larger today, had it not been for the unfathomably powerful, primordial magnetic fields that supported the shape of the universe. Scientists […]

Researchers from MIT have invented a machine-learning tool that can precisely predict how long it takes given code to execute on a computer chip, which can help programmers tweak the code for better performance. With current computer machines, it is tough to develop a performance model to evaluate this throughput. The puzzle with building this […]

The Gaia-Enceladus dwarf galaxy crashed into our Milky Way 11.5 billion years ago and combined the mass of 50 billion suns to our galaxy. Now the new insights of this collision come from a single bright star visible in Southern Hemisphere skies. There’s a new episode in the tale of an ancient collision between our […]
