New study finds cosmic shock wave 60 times larger than the Milky Way

March 02, 2022 -

Abell 3667, situated about 730 million light-years from Earth, is a galaxy cluster that is in turmoil. It is made up of two clusters of galaxies that are actually crashing into each other and about 550 individual galaxies in total that are gradually moving into one huge cosmic broth.

Although it is not immediately recognizable to most telescopes, the cosmic ...

Human agriculture laborers soon OBSOLETE: U.K. researchers grow the world’s first crops using nothing but drones and robots

March 17, 2018 -

The researchers claim to have successfully grown the world's first crop of barley without any humans stepping foot in the entire land area covered by the crop. They managed to do all the seeding, spraying, monitoring, and even harvesting with nothing but drones and robot tractors, which means that the entire process was done with fully-autonomous vehicles and machinery.

Prior to starting this project, the researchers already had access to automated farming technologies ...

Scientists are actually losing ground on their understanding of dark matter, as new research contradicts previous findings

April 28, 2018 -

In 2015, an international research group announced what appeared to be a big break in their investigation of dark matter. They were using the Hubble Space Telescope to observe a galaxy in the Abell 3827 cluster, situated around 1.3 billion light-years away from Earth. The galaxy appeared to have broken free from the dark matter that enveloped it.

This could only happen if dark matter is able to interact with other forces other than gravity. The cosmic happenstance promised ...

Bulk buying, which used to typically cater to larger families, is now the norm for many people post-plandemic, especially as food prices soar due to rapid and unrelenting inflation.

It is becoming clear that things are probably not going back to normal anytime soon. And with persistent supply chain issues leaving store shelves increasingly bare, there is a growing sense of concern about what the future holds.

The new mantra is be prepared or be hungry. And part ...

Garbage-gobbling machine combats marine pollution in Baltimore

June 29, 2021 -

John Kellett, founder of Clearwater Mills, a locally owned and operated logistics company, invented Mr. Trash Wheel to combat marine pollution in the harbor. He observed that a river of trash would flow down from the Jones Falls tributary whenever it rained, but the city had no solution for that rubbish.

"There should be a way to stop this trash before it spreads out," he told media outlets in 2019, referring to how the garbage that flows into the harbor empties into the ...
