How does an owl’s tail help it fly? To better see the role of the tail in raptor aerodynamics, scientists at the UK’s Royal Veterinary College recorded birds of victim flying through clouds of tiny helium bubbles. According to the science journal Nature, evaluating the swirling movement of the bubbles allowed the scientists to find “a new method which birds use their tail to offer lift and so reduce drag while gliding … Their findings might provide a new method to improve the effectiveness of small gliding aircraft.”.

In 1960 throughout the early days of the look for extraterrestrial intelligence, theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson, who passed away last month, composed a short article entitled “Look for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation” for the journal Science. He posited that “if extraterrestrial intelligent beings exist and have reached a high level of technical advancement, one spin-off […]

Telepathy. ESP. The capability to communicate ideas, feelings, or experiences without utilizing our recognized sensory channels is a timeless superpower. Quickly, advances in neuroscience, molecular biology, and computer technology will make some sort of artificial telepathy possible. On the other hand though, techniques to treat brain disorders through magnetic stimulation of brain circuits could enable crude (or ultimately […]

On the planet Wasp-76 b, it rains iron. Scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and associates observed the world, 650 light years from Earth, using the European Southern Observatory’s Huge Telescope in northern Chile. On earth’s “hot side” that faces it star, temperatures can be above 2,400 ° C. It’s a good idea the locals […]

It just took 10 years, however with the long-awaited adoption of Qi charging standards by Apple back in 2017 for the iPhone X, the age of cordless charging has actually now really taken control of. With cordless charging choices available in everything from smartphones and smartwatches to tablets and earbuds, we’re now seeing charging pads appearing […]
