Scientists have published a new study revealing the largest marsquakes ever recorded. Like Earth, Mars can experience massive seismic events which can cause the surface of the Red Planet to shift. These events are known as ‘marsquakes’. ETH Zurich, a public research university in Switzerland, says marsquakes occur when the soil on Mars is “subjected …
A long-dormant underwater volcano near Antarctica may have erupted, triggering 85,000 earthquakes in the area. Research stations reported the swarm of earthquakes as early as August 2020. They lasted for several months, subsiding in November of that same year. Since then, researchers have been looking for the cause behind the earthquakes.
An ocean mass extinction event may not be that far off. Researchers published a new study in the journal Science this month. Scientists say that ocean life could die at levels that rival the biggest mass extinctions in history.
Speakers work by vibrating a membrane to manipulate air and create sound waves. Now, engineers at MIT have developed mountable paper-thin speakers that can produce sound from any surface. The creators say that the speakers should be easy to produce at a large scale. Additionally, they are energy efficient, so they won’t need a lot …
The James Webb telescope is fully aligned. NASA shared the update in a new post on Thursday, April 28. The space-based telescope will help usher in a new age for space observation. The telescope reached its final destination earlier this year. Since then, NASA has slowly been preparing it for operations. NASA will use the …
We’ve seen a lot of different robots over the years. From robots that can teach themselves to run, to robots designed to explore the Moon. There are even robots that can give you vaccinations. Now, though, a new video of a record-breaking jumping robot is making the rounds, ready to steal your heart.
The first solar eclipse of 2022 will happen this weekend, giving those lucky enough to see it a spectacular view. As is often the case, though, the eclipse won’t be viewable from everywhere in the world. In fact, only a select few areas in South America will have a good view, particularly Chile.
Four high school students have designed a desalinating water bottle. When used, it could make seawater potable. It’s currently only a hypothetical device, but if prototypes prove successful, it could open new doors for desalinating seawater.
A massive asteroid is skimming past Earth today. The asteroid in question is named 418135, or 2008 AG33. It’s estimated to be twice as big as the Empire State building, with a diameter between 1,150 and 2,560 feet. While it poses no threat to our planet, it is coming dangerously close.
Skywatchers have a lot to look forward to as we head towards the end of April. NASA says that early risers will be able to get a good view of the latest Jupiter-Venus conjunction on Saturday, April 30, 2022. The celestial event will continue on the morning of May 1, but Jupiter and Venus will …
