This Is The World’s Longest-Burning Bulb, And It Could Outlive Us All
The Centennial Light bulb is the world’s longest-burning light bulb, according to Guinness World Records. It has been continuously illuminated since 1901 at a fire station in Livermore, California. The bulb, a 60-watt incandescent lamp made by the Shelby Electric Company, has been burning for over 120 years as of 2025. It casts a weak […]
Astronauts Share Most Breathtaking Images of Earth From Space in 2024
Astronauts have a unique vantage point from 250 miles above Earth, allowing them to photograph a wide range of breathtaking views, from colorful auroras and comets to hurricanes and wildfires. The images showcase the beauty and fragility of our planet, with astronauts describing a profound shift in perspective, known as the “Overview Effect”, that instills […]
NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Jet Reaches a Major Milestone
The X-59 recently reached a major milestone by completing its first round of ground testing at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. This included testing the aircraft’s flight control system, propulsion system, and other critical components. The goal of the X-59 is to demonstrate the ability to fly at supersonic speeds (over the speed […]
Quantum teleportation has begun to change the world
Quantum teleportation, once confined to science fiction, is becoming a scientific reality with recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics over the past decade. Researchers have demonstrated methods for transmitting quantum information instantaneously over vast distances, offering transformative possibilities for computing, communication, and cryptography. Key advances include: Achieving quantum teleportation over 1,200 km using satellite-based links, a […]
10 Greatest Scientists of All Time
1. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) – Pioneered classical mechanics, laws of motion, and theory of gravity. 2. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) – Developed the theory of relativity and made major contributions to quantum mechanics and cosmology. 3. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) – Pioneered the scientific method and made important observations through the telescope, including the moons of Jupiter. […]
Scientists Have Confirmed the Existence of a Third Form of Magnetism
– Scientists have created, manipulated, and imaged a new type of magnetic material called an “altermagnet” for the first time. This was previously just a theoretical concept. – Altermagnetism is believed to combine the properties of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, which were previously thought to be incompatible. – Researchers used photoemission electron microscopy to map the […]
Scientists Developed a Questionnaire to Identify if Your Cat Is a Psychopath
Researchers have developed a questionnaire based on the “triarchic model of psychopathy” to assess the level of psychopathic tendencies in cats. The model measures boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. After completing the online survey, pet owners are given a “CAT-Tri+” score indicating their cat’s level of psychopathy. The researchers hope this can help improve human-cat relationships. […]
Forget solar panels, the future is this sphere for your garden: Free electricity even at night
The O-Wind Turbine is a new spherical wind turbine design that can generate electricity in any weather condition, day or night, without relying on solar power. The compact 25cm sphere can harvest wind from all directions, making it well-suited for urban and residential areas with variable wind patterns. Unlike traditional wind turbines that require high […]
Record-Breaking Coral Death in The Great Barrier Reef Alarms Scientists
Parts of the Great Barrier Reef have suffered the highest coral mortality on record, according to Australian research. Surveys of 12 reefs found up to 72% coral mortality, due to a summer of mass bleaching, two cyclones, and flooding. In one northern section, about a third of hard coral had died, the “largest annual decline” […]
Scientists Tested 8 Famous Cities. Only 1 Met The Standard For Tree Cover.
A recent study evaluated eight prominent cities—Melbourne, Sydney, New York, Denver, Seattle, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, and Singapore—against the “3+30+300 rule” for urban greenery. This guideline suggests that individuals should see at least three trees from their residence, work, or school; live in neighborhoods with a minimum of 30% tree canopy cover; and have a park […]
