Environmental science often deals with messy data. Small, varied data sets make it hard to build reliable models. Traditional machine learning methods often fail here. They fit the training data too well but perform poorly in real-world tests. Enter GP-BT. It's a new method designed to tackle these
In 2025, scientists made a big step forward in understanding the Denisovans, a group of ancient humans that have puzzled researchers for years. The Denisovans were first discovered in 2010 through DNA from a tiny pinkie bone found in a cave in Siberia. This DNA showed that the Denisovans were a dist
Black holes have always been a big deal, not just for scientists but for artists too. They've sparked creativity in many ways. A book called "Conjuring the Void: The Art of Black Holes" shows just how much art has been inspired by these mysterious objects. The person behind this book is Lynn Gamwel
Adsorption is a big deal in water cleanup. It's like a magnet that pulls out nasty stuff from water. But, it's not as simple as it sounds. There are three big things that make it work: how much stuff can stick to a surface, how much stuff is left in the water, and how the stuff sticking to the surfa
In the world of materials science, perovskite oxides are like the superheroes of energy conversion. They have a special power: they can conduct both ions and electrons. This makes them perfect for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes. But there's a catch. Most of these materials have a crystal stru
In 2025, NASA's SPHEREx telescope took off on a SpaceX rocket from California. By May, it was already busy collecting data. This telescope is special because it captures images in infrared light, which is invisible to us. It's like seeing the universe in a whole new light! SPHEREx stands for a mout
On Mars, the Perseverance rover has stumbled upon something unusual. It's not from Mars at all. This rock, named Phippsaksla, is a meteorite that crashed into the red planet. While other rovers have found meteorites before, this is Perseverance's first. It's a big deal because it might not be easy t
In the vast cosmos, a peculiar planet has caught the eye of scientists. This world, dubbed PSR J2322-2650b, is as big as Jupiter but has a unique lemon-like shape. What makes it even stranger is its atmosphere, which is a mix of helium and molecular carbon, something never seen before. This planet
NASA's Lunar Gateway project is getting a boost with the latest advancements in electric propulsion technology. These thrusters are not just more efficient; they are a game-changer for long-duration space missions. Unlike traditional chemical propulsion systems, electric thrusters use less fuel, mak
Keeping hens healthy and productive is a big deal for farmers. A recent study looked at how molting affects hens in two different flocks. One group had access to free-range during molting, while the other did not. The study found that both groups saw a drop in egg production during molting, but they
