This Machine Could Print Synthetic Life Forms on Demand, And Our Minds Are Reeling
Back in 2016, biologist Craig Venter achieved something extraordinary. He built a new species of bacteria from scratch in the lab – the simplest genetic life form known to science, made entirely through chemical synthesis of a custom-made genome. Now, he’s unveiled a new machine that could print these synthetic...

In a World-First, Scientists Have Achieved ‘Liquid Light’ at Room Temperature
For the first time, physicists have achieved ‘liquid light’ at room temperature, making this strange form of matter more accessible than ever. This matter is both a superfluid, which has zero friction and viscosity, and a kind of Bose-Einstein condensate – sometimes described as the fifth state of matter – and it allows light to...

Alien megastructures – where we should look next
You remember the alien megastructure. No? Let me refresh your memory. Back in October 2015, the internet nearly broke when astronomers announced they had detected a strange signal that stood a remote chance of being a vast extraterrestrial construction – dubbed the alien megastructure. It was discovered using Nasa’s Kepler...

The Human Brain Can Create Structures in Up to 11 Dimensions
Neuroscientists have used a classic branch of maths in a totally new way to peer into the structure of our brains. What they’ve discovered is that the brain is full of multi-dimensional geometrical structures operating in as many as 11 dimensions. We’re used to thinking of the world from a...

Jupiter Has Been Declared The Most Ancient Planet in The Solar System
Jupiter formed in a geologic blink. Its rocky core coalesced less than a million years after the beginning of our solar system, scientists reported Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Within another 2 million or 3 million years, that core grew to 50 times the mass of Earth....

Talking to E.T.? Why Math May Be the Best Language
The idea is that mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art. And it is mathematics that might be understandable — even familiar — to extraterrestrial civilizations, allowing us to strike up star-speak repartee. Carl DeVito, an emeritus faculty in the mathematics department at the University...

Short Film Uses Thousands Of NASA Photos To Recreate The Moon Landing
There is a ton of evidence that suggests the moon landing wasn’t faked; that much is something that most reasonable people understand. One of the main concerns is that film and special effects technology just wasn’t good enough to make an observant viewer believe that a fictional moon landing video...

Scientists Just Changed The Game And Made Synthetic Photosynthesis Possible
Photosynthesis is one of nature’s most efficient phenomena: aside from providing much of the oxygen human beings need to breathe, this naturally occurring process gives plants the food and energy they need to survive. It utilizes visible light — which the Earth has an abundance of — to provide the “fuel”...

Pulsar-Based Navigation System to Get Test on Space Station
An experiment that arrived at the International Space Station today (June 5) will test a celestial navigational system that one day may guide future spaceships to Jupiter as efficiently as GPS satellites get you to Starbucks. The Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology (SEXTANT) experiment is among the projects...

New antibiotic effective against drug-resistant bacteria
Scientists from Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the biotechnology company NAICONS Srl., and elsewhere have discovered a new antibiotic effective against drug-resistant bacteria: pseudouridimycin. The new antibiotic is produced by a microbe found in a soil sample collected in Italy and was discovered by screening microbes from soil samples. The new antibiotic...

Computers are starting to reason like humans
How many parks are near the new home you’re thinking of buying? What’s the best dinner-wine pairing at a restaurant? These everyday questions require relational reasoning, an important component of higher thought that has been difficult for artificial intelligence (AI) to master. Now, researchers at Google’s DeepMind have developed a...

Sun Likely Has a Long-Lost Twin
Nemesis is apparently real, even if its bad reputation is undeserved. For decades, some scientists have speculated that the sun has a companion whose gravitational tug periodically jostles comets out of their normal orbits, sending them careening toward Earth. The resulting impacts have caused mass extinctions, the thinking goes, which...
