NASA is continuing their research to have people on Mars by 2030. One of the ways they are doing this is with $500,000 rewards for futuristic ideas that are laid out and possible. The space juggernaut wants to make space exploration more effective. One concept that is being worked on is human hibernation. It …
There’s been a longstanding question about what happens when black holes collide. Scientists have debated this and many assumed there wouldn’t be much that occurred. That was until NASA’s Fermi Gamma ray telescope witnessed something completely different. There was a high level of energy light that formed a second after a pair of black holes …

A team of NASA scientists has developed a way to locate underground fungus from space. The information gathered from finding the fungus will help scientists predict how forests are altered due to climate change. Hidden under the soil of each and every forest lies a network of fungus that lives in mutual harmony with their …

Based on the ‘Copernican principle’, there is nothing special about the Earth in the universe. This has been the standard belief among scientists for a long time. Astronomers have expected that eventually, more planets like Earth would be found. A new study may be proving just the opposite. Earth may indeed be unique. Sweden’s Uppsala …
Conservative estimates predict that with a global temperature increase of just 2°C, sea levels could rise by 25 meters within the next 100 years. If global warming were to reach a peak which causes the Antarctic ice sheets to melt, global sea levels will rise by almost 60 meters, submerging the habitat of more than …
