Sometime this year between June 5th and 6th an amazing event is going to occur.  Venus will be taking a trip across the sun that to us here on earth, will look merely like a black dot.  This means that the sun, Venus, and the earth will all be in alignment.  Such an event is [...]

This article is about nuclear physicists creating a new material for thermonuclear fusion reactors. Thermonuclear fusion happens when two atomic nuclei of light elements combine to produce heavier elements. Basically when these elements get close enough together they react off of each other creating a kind of plasma. The plasma is extremely hot, which makes [...]

Since the first day that the humans have created nuclear weapons and built factories, we have been dealing with the threats of global uncertainty  to our world. In 1947, an organization called “Bulletin of Atomic Scientists”, created the ‘Doomsday Clock’ as a barometer of how close the world is getting closer to an apocalyptic end. In 2010, [...]

Okay, honestly, how many times have you been spending a crisp afternoon at the beach and put your phone in your swimsuit pocket, forgot it was in there, and dove into the water? When you finally realized something was in your pocket, you immediately recall when you idiotically put your phone in your pocket. Next [...]

Have you ever wondered how water skimmers can “walk” on surface of the water? It is because of the physical concept of surface tension, which is rudimentary a mixture of two molecular components. Each component “hates” each other, that they only want to stick to its own kinds. For example, after you pull oil into [...]

Some teams from the Fermilab and Berkeley used new galaxies to help make new maps of dark matter. These two teams have made the biggest discovery of dark matter. This discovery will help scientists understand more about this mysterious dark energy. They look for little distortions in the pictures. These distortions are caused by the dark [...]

A professor at Michigan Technological University by the name of Now Guney made a breakthrough in creating superlens technology. Guney’s model shows that such lenses would be able to view objects smaller than 1/1000th the width of a human hair! Constructing the lenses would be pretty inexpensive, creating the possibility of  them finding a way [...]

The Belle Experiment has discovered two new particles containing bottom quarks. Many other mesons, also known as hadrons, have been identified before, but those only had one quark and one anti-quark. These new particles happen to have one “bottom” quark, as well as an “anti-bottom” quark, and therefore are considered to be exotic hadrons. The theory on [...]
