Which 'Milk' Is Better For The Environment? The Answer May Surprise You
Making eco-conscious choices at the shops can be tricky when we're presented with so many options, especially when it comes to milk. Should we buy plant-based milk, or dairy? We've looked at the evidence to help you choose.
Room-Temperature Superconductivity Achieved for the First Time
Physicists have reached a long-sought goal. The catch is that their room-temperature superconductor requires crushing pressures to keep from falling apart.
team of physicists in New York has discovered a material that conducts electricity with perfect efficiency at room temperature — a long-sought scientific milestone. The hydrogen, carbon and sulfur compound operates as a superconductor at up to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the team reported in Nature. That’s more than 50 degrees hotter than the previous high-temperature superconductivity record set last year.

Data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft now makes it possible to show what the Apollo 13 astronauts saw as they flew around the far side of the Moon. This video showcases visualizations in 4K resolution of many of those lunar surface views, starting with earthset and sunrise, and concluding with the time Apollo 13 reestablished radio contact with Mission Control. Also depicted is the path of the free return trajectory around the Moon, and a continuous view of the Moon throughout that path. All views have been sped up for timing purposes - they are not shown in "real-time."

Scientists Measure The Shortest Length of Time Ever: Zeptoseconds
Scientists have measured the shortest unit of time ever: the time it takes a light particle to cross a hydrogen molecule.
How to determine that we have created an artificial, but living wayward creature (capable of wanting and striving), and not another, albeit a very complex tool (algorithm or robot) for our own purposes?
Stuart Kauffman, a modern genius of the level of Aristotle, together with Andrea Raleigh, a researcher of AI from the University of Bologna, was able to answer this sacramental question for the first time.

Emergence of Organisms
Since early cybernetics studies by Wiener, Pask, and Ashby, the properties of living systems are subject to deep investigations. The goals of this endeavour are both understanding and building: abstract models and general principles are sought for describing…

This Beetle's Shell Is So Diabolically Tough It Can Be Driven Over. Now We Know How
The diabolical ironclad beetle (Phloeodes diabolicus) of North America doesn't have the visual pizzazz of some of its more shiny beetle cousins, looking more like a small piece of gnarly bark or stone.

A sudden loss of smell and taste was one of the first unusual symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients, but stroke, seizures, and swelling of the brain (called encephalitis) have all been described. Some patients diagnosed with COVID-19 also experience confusion, delirium, dizziness, and have difficulty concentrating, according to case reports and reviews.

Astronomers Confirm a Rogue Earth-Sized Planet Careening Through Our Galaxy
Scientists suspect that billions of free-floating or "rogue" planets may exist in the Milky Way, but so far only a handful of candidates have turned up among the 4,000-or-so worlds discovered beyond our Solar System.

Scientists Say This New Rice-Cooking Hack Removes Arsenic But Keeps The Nutrients
Rice is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world. It's also very high in arsenic compared to most other foods, absorbing about 10 times as much toxic inorganic arsenic as other cereal crops.

NASA Rocket Engines May Include Large-Scale 3D Printing
NASA’s Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology project, or RAMPT, is advancing development of an additive manufacturing technique to 3D print rocket engine parts using metal powder and lasers. The method, called blown powder directed energy deposition, could bring down costs and lead times for producing large, complex engine components like nozzles and combustion chambers.
