Redshift and blueshift are two phenomena that describe how the frequency of light changes when an object is moving relative to an observer. When an object is moving away from an observer, the light from the object is redshifted, which means that the wavelength of the light increases and the...
Deep space networking is the process of communicating with spacecraft that are beyond the orbit of Earth. This is a challenging task because the distance between Earth and these spacecraft can be vast, making it difficult to send and receive signals. The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide network...
Researchers at the University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have developed a new method of treating glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The method, called mechanical nanosurgery, uses magnetic carbon nanotubes (mCNTs) to deliver targeted mechanical force to tumor cells. Glioblastoma is a highly...
Salt has been used as a currency for centuries. It was a valuable commodity because it was essential for preserving food and for flavoring food. Salt was also used in religious ceremonies and in medical treatments. In ancient times, salt was often traded for other goods and services. For example,...
Brain mapping is a set of neuroscience techniques predicated on the mapping of (biological) quantities or properties onto spatial representations of the (human or non-human) brain resulting in maps. Brain mapping is a broad term that encompasses a variety of techniques that are used to study the brain. Some of...
An incident has happened in the space full of mysteries, which has surprised even the researchers. Astronomers have observed the largest cosmic explosion ever observed in space. Astronomers have observed the largest cosmic explosion ever observed in space. The explosion, known as AT2021lwx, was detected in 2020 and is thought...
Like Dumbledore’s wand, a scan can pull long strings of stories straight out of a person’s brain — but only if that person cooperates. In a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin were able to decode the thoughts of people using...
