Ever wondered if swishing carbs in your mouth can boost your cycling performance? It's a question that has been buzzing around the cycling world. Some athletes swear by it, but does it really work, especially after a low-carb diet? A group of researchers decided to put this to the test. They gather
Mars has always been a tricky destination. Now, NASA is trying a new approach with the ESCAPADE mission. This isn't your typical big-budget space adventure. It's a cost-effective, high-risk project aiming to study Mars' magnetic field and atmosphere. Launched in late 2025, ESCAPADE is part of NASA's
Jupiter, the giant of our solar system, had a wild encounter back in 1994. A comet named SL9 broke apart and smacked into the planet. Scientists wanted to understand what happened, so they created a model to study the aftermath. First, they used a special computer program called ZEUS-3D. This progr
In Belgium, a panther chameleon faced a silent battle within its lungs. This chameleon, just two years old, stopped eating and had trouble breathing. Doctors took X-rays and saw something unusual in the lungs. Tiny creatures were living there, causing problems. These creatures are called Raillietie
Quantum materials are fascinating because they can change their electronic and magnetic behaviors when exposed to magnetic fields. However, studying these changes has been tough. The main issue is that magnetic fields mess up the paths of electrons ejected from these materials during experiments. A
China is playing a big part in a huge global project called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). This project is about building the world's largest radio telescopes. The SKA will create a ton of data. It's so much that one organization can't handle it all alone. So, they're teaming up with countries ar
Plasma is not just a concept from sci-fi movies; it's a real phenomenon that can significantly impact how fuels like dimethyl ether (DME) burn. It's not just about making things go faster. Plasma changes the way the gas reacts, and it does this in two stages. Scientists conducted experiments at two
In the world of plants, there are many ways to attract pollinators. Some use bright colors. Others use strong scents. But one plant stands out. It uses heat. This plant is called a cycad. It looks like a palm tree. It has cone-like structures. And it gets warm. This warmth is not random. It is a si
Something just shook near Granada, Spain. It might have been a small earthquake. No one is sure yet. This is not unusual. The area is known for some seismic activity. But what does this mean for people living there? And how can they stay informed? Earthquakes can be scary. They can happen without w
Getting more oil from the ground is tricky. One way is to use chemicals, but it's expensive and can harm the environment. Now, there's a new idea: tiny capsules filled with chemicals. These capsules can be sent deep into the oil fields. They release chemicals only where they are needed. This can sav
