The world of materials science is always looking for ways to make things better. One interesting experiment looked at how adding a bit of lanthanum and manganese to BaTiO3 affects its properties. This mix, called BLTM, changes the shape of the crystal structure, making it more cube-like. This might
The Blue Ghost spacecraft has just wrapped up a significant lunar mission. This mission, which spanned the duration of a full lunar day, or about two Earth weeks, took place on the moon's near side. The Blue Ghost spacecraft, roughly the size of a small car, carried out various experiments during it
Sleep is a big deal for our brains. It helps us remember things. But it can also mess with our memories. Sometimes, it makes us recall things that never happened. This is what scientists call false memories. To figure out why this happens, researchers looked at two things: how we remember stuff righ
The way animals interact with others early in life can greatly affect their social skills later on. This is especially true for creatures that live in groups. However, scientists are still trying to figure out exactly how this happens in the brain. One big clue lies in something called neuroplastici
The world of solar energy is always buzzing with new ideas. One of the latest focuses on tin-based perovskite solar cells. These cells have a special material called PSS. It's great at moving positive charges, but it has a big flaw. The acids in PSS react badly with the ITO electrode. This reaction
Understanding how cells develop and change over time is a big deal in biology. It helps scientists see and understand the complex ways cells behave during the early stages of life. Usually, tracking cells relies on stable signals and strong promoters, which can be limiting for long-term studies. How
Kazakhstan has been pushing hard to boost its animal health research. The goal? To keep livestock healthy, ensure safe animal products, and manage disease outbreaks. To make this happen, the country has been pouring more money into science and education. The plan is to reach 1% of the country's GDP
Butch Wilmore, a NASA astronaut, spent 286 days in space. This was far longer than planned. He and his crewmate Sunita Williams were supposed to return home on June 13. However, technical problems with their spacecraft, Boeing's Starliner, delayed their return. They had to wait until a safer ship wa
The brain is a mystery. It is amazing how much babies learn in their first years. They pick up language, understand routines, and even form expectations about their world. Yet, as adults, we struggle to recall any of these early experiences. Why is that? Recent findings shed some light on this
The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was not given a risk assessment before it crumbled after a ship hit it. This was revealed by the National Transportation Safety Board. They said that if Maryland had done this check, they would have seen the bridge was in danger of falling apart if a big shi
