US researchers have finally proven what exactly causes the dazzling light shows known as aurora borealis or northern lights. #auroraborealis #northernlights
Thomas Jefferson University researchers provide the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially challenges the central dogma in biology and could have wide implications affecting many fields of biology. #RNAsequence #DNAEngineering
In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to see. #sciencenews #quantummicroscope
Michio Kaku talks about his lifelong search for ‘The God Equation” (the theory of everything) and some of the mysteries that the equation would solve #godequation
Ammonia may become the foundation of the future of sustainable energy. If scientists harness this renewable bounty, ammonia could become the most dominant form of renewable and transportable energy in the future. #ammonia #RenewableEnergy
Our world has discovered the greatest genius in the field of electrical energy since the days of Nikola Tesla. It’s Mr. Maxwell Sangulani Chikumbutso from Zimbabwe. #thriveon #thrivemovement #FreeEnergy #MaxwellChikumbutso
A study of university students and recent graduates has revealed that writing on physical paper can lead to more brain activity when remembering the information an hour later. Researchers say that the unique, complex, spatial, and tactile information associated with writing by hand on physical paper is likely what leads to improved memory. #writing #calligraphy
We are made of stardust, the saying goes, and a pair of studies finds that may be more true than we previously thought. #stardust #carbon
In a new study, researchers showcased that the way our brain processes information is fundamentally altered during hypnosis. The research helps to understand how hypnosis produces changes in a hypnotized person’s behavior and subjective experiences. #hypnosis
Using molecular dating tools and epidemiological simulations, researchers estimate that the SARS-CoV-2 virus likely circulated undetected for two months before the first human cases of COVID-19 were described in Wuhan, China in late-December 2019. #coronavirus
Scientists claim they have developed a physical model for a warp drive – a device that would allow spacecraft to travel at faster-than-light speeds. #warpdrive
An international research team led by NUST MISIS has developed a new iron-cobalt-nickel nanocomposite with tunable magnetic properties. The nanocomposite could be used to protect money and securities from counterfeiting. The study was published in Nanomaterials. #NanoMaterial #NanoTechnology
Science is now showing that silence may be just what we need to regenerate our exhausted brains and bodies. #silence #brainhealth
Long dismissed as folk mythology, the idea that the phases of the moon affect our sleep patterns has now been borne out by a study by the University of Washington. #fullmoonsleep
Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early Universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II supercomputer. They found that together with new observations the method can set better constraints on inflation, one of the most enigmatic events in the history of the Universe. The method can shorten the observation time required to distinguish between various inflation theories. #cosmiclock
