On Mars, a rover named Perseverance has been busy exploring and making discoveries. It's been there for almost five years, and it's about the size of a small car. This rover has traveled around 25 miles (40 kilometers) on the Martian surface, collecting soil samples and doing science experiments. R
Scientists are diving deep into the world of a small moth, Trichoplusia ni. They are looking at its genes to see how it fights off poisons. This moth is known for its ability to survive in tough conditions. The focus is on a group of genes called cytochrome P450. These genes help the moth break down
Peas are in trouble. A sneaky enemy lurks beneath the soil, threatening their very roots. This foe is not one but many, a team of tiny troublemakers working together to cause root rot. It's a big problem for pea farmers, making it hard to grow these tasty legumes. Scientists are stepping in to help
The world of quantum physics is full of mysteries. One big mystery is how quantum systems that are super chaotic can still act like they're in a state of balance. Scientists have been trying to figure this out with something called the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, or ETH for short. Now, the
The SKA Observatory's telescopes, SKA-Low and SKA-Mid, are set to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. These powerful tools, spread across two continents, boast incredible sensitivity and a wide range of frequencies. They can observe multiple areas of the sky simultaneously, making them
A planet that looks like a lemon and behaves even stranger has left scientists scratching their heads. This oddball, named PSR J2322–2650b, is not your typical planet. It's not even orbiting a normal star. Instead, it's circling a pulsar, which is the leftover core of a dead star. This pulsar is sup
In 2012, a discovery was made in Eastbourne Town Hall. A skeleton, later named Beachy Head Woman, was found. At first, scientists thought she was from sub-Saharan Africa. This made her the first known Black Briton. But this idea was based on measuring her skull. This method is old and not always acc
Scientists have found a cool way to make super-efficient catalysts. They use tiny explosions to spread out metal atoms really fast. This is a big deal because making these catalysts usually takes a lot of energy and can cause the metal to clump together. The new method uses a special reactor with t
The story of the Beachy Head Woman has taken another twist. Initially, she was thought to be from sub-Saharan Africa, making her the first known Black Briton. However, recent DNA technology has revealed a different story. Her remains, found in 2012, were first studied in 2013. Scientists then believ
Deep in space, about a million miles from Earth, NASA's IMAP mission is on a quest. It's not looking for aliens or hidden treasures. Instead, it's studying the solar wind and how it interacts with the space around us. This mission has ten tools, each with a special job. One of them is called CoDICE.
