The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has enabled astronomers from Denmark’s Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) to discover new structures deep in outer space. The researchers have identified a new chain of 20 connected galaxies in a recent study published on arXiv, a preprint archive. The JWST is in a
Students are no strangers to the usual all-nighter or the drowsiness and grogginess you feel from your usual all-nighter — and while symptoms like this may seem like no big deal in the short term, there is a growing body of research that indicates the link between deep sleep
Disclaimer: This article discusses topics related to mental health and substance use. The spread of misinformation has led a significant portion of the public to perceive cannabis as non-addictive. A survey of cannabis users in Washington State revealed that 68 per cent of survey responders believed cannabis is non-
On Oct. 13, a Falcon Heavy orbital launch vehicle carrying the Psyche spacecraft was launched from Kennedy Space Centre to send its 2,608 kg payload on a six-year journey to the main asteroid belt, which sits between Mars and Jupiter. Aboard this spacecraft are a number of interesting
This is not going to be your typical “try to get more sleep” or “start a workout routine” type of article. Everyone who has been in or is looking for research would kill for the chance of adding a few extra hours to their sleep schedule and would gladly pass
Those of us with uteruses will endure about 450 menstrual cycles in our lifetimes, experiencing symptoms like cramps, fatigue, bloating or breakouts. In addition, the structure of our brains and the concentrations of menstrual cycle hormones are changing in concert. Researchers Elizabeth Rizor and Viktoriya Babenko from the University of
As resource extraction becomes evermore damaging to the environment, some look to the stars to find important materials. Recent developments in space-fairing technologies, such as the deployment of ion thrusters, and laser optical communication aboard the Psyche spacecraft, make space travel beyond the moon more accessible. Spacecraft which can
Our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe has long been a pursuit marked by unanswered questions. For example, while it is understood that when we create matter, we also create antimatter, there has yet to be an explanation for why there is an absence of antimatter in our
Fairy circles (FCs) were first described in the scientific literature in 1971 and have continued to puzzle scientists ever since. These magical landmarks are defined as circular, barren gaps in grassland found in dry regions. The exact cause of these circles is a big question fuelling a scientific debate. Their
Anatomically modern humans first evolved in Africa, though the story of how they slowly dispersed out becomes more complicated. Throughout the years, many theories have been proposed, with most proposing a date between 16,000-13,000 years on when they first arrived in the Americas. Two of the most
