In a surprising discovery, scientists have found evidence of small lightning strikes on Mars. These tiny sparks were picked up by the microphone on NASA's Perseverance rover. The sounds were recorded during dust storms and dust devils, with 55 instances documented over two Martian years. These elect
Heart scans using MRI give doctors a clear look at the heart's structure. This helps in spotting heart problems early. But, making these scans work well with computers needs lots of labeled data. Labeling data is a big job. It takes time and effort. A new method called PDFMSeg changes this. It uses
A team of space explorers has just begun their journey to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission involves a mix of seasoned and new astronauts. The Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, powered by a Soyuz 2. 1a rocket, took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The launch happened at 12:28
Dark matter has been a big question in science for a long time. It's like an invisible glue holding galaxies together. Now, a scientist thinks they might have found some proof of it. The idea of dark matter started way back in the 1930s. A scientist named Fritz Zwicky noticed that galaxies were spi
Ever wonder how your brain deals with weird or unexpected info? Well, it turns out your brain has a cool way of sorting things out. Scientists used EEGs to peek inside the brain and see what happens when we process odd data. They found that our brains use two main modes: automatic and controlled pro
Ever thought about how your brain changes and grows? It turns out that tiny cells in your blood, called platelets, might play a big role in this. These little guys are like messengers, carrying important signals from your body to your brain. They help your brain adapt and change, a process known as
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found tryptophan, a crucial amino acid, on the asteroid Bennu. This finding adds to the growing list of life's essential ingredients that have been identified in space rocks. The sample, collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, provides a unique glimpse
The Ice Age is often seen as a simple time with snow and big animals. But the new series "Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age" on Apple TV+ shows a more complex world. This world had big changes in climate, animals moving around, and strange creatures trying to survive. The show moves from the time of dino
For years, people have been changing the land around ancient sites. This change can hurt these important places. A recent study looked at how to use satellites to track these changes. The focus was on Amrit, an old archaeological site in Syria. The study used different types of satellite images. Th
Ever wonder why some people are better at controlling how hard they grip things? A recent study looked into this. It turns out, people get better at matching how hard they intend to squeeze with how hard they actually squeeze when they get feedback. But not everyone improves the same way. The study
