Nazareth, once thought to have been a small village, likely to have been a town of around 1,000 people, new evidence suggests Remarkable new archaeological discoveries in Israel are revealing important details about the religious and political environment in which Jesus is said to have grown up, and which are likely toContinue Reading
Cheops, ESA’s new exoplanet mission, has successfully completed its almost three months of in-orbit commissioning, exceeding expectations for its performance. The satellite, which will commence routine science operations by the end of April, has already obtained promising observations of known exoplanet-hosting stars, with many exciting discoveries to come. The in-orbit commissioning phaseContinue Reading
The next update to Windows 10 is right around the corner, keeping in line with the twice-a-year update schedule — once in the spring and once in the fall. Known as the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, this one seeks to tweak some things across the operating system that’s now used on 1 billionContinue Reading
Compared to a conventional computer, this device has a learning capability that is not software-based’ A major computing breakthrough has allowed researchers to develop ultra-low power devices capable of operating at the same voltage level as a brain. Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst figured out a way to use biological,Continue Reading
Professor Sarah Gilbert said that her team hopes to begin clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of this week, and said about 140 vaccines were in development Trials for a coronavirus vaccine could begin at the end of this week. Professor Sarah Gilbert said that there were aboutContinue Reading
Scientists at the University of Portsmouth have launched a study to understand how many people are turning to alcohol to handle the stress, anxiety and boredom of being isolated at home Doctors fear a “second health crisis” as a result of increased alcohol consumption during the Covid-19 lockdown. Scientists at the University of Portsmouth have launchedContinue Reading
European Commission wants gradual and cautious approach Brussels has unveiled a roadmap for the lifting of coronavirus lockdown measures, warning members states should coordinate any easing of restrictions rather than going it alone. The European Commission said its 27 member states should move cautiously and follow scientific evidence, as Austria, Denmark, andContinue Reading
Normally, it takes pricey equipment and expertise to create an accurate 3D reconstruction of someone’s face. Now, researchers have pulled off the feat using video recorded on an ordinary smartphone. Shooting a continuous video of the front and sides of the face generates a dense cloud of data. A two-stepContinue Reading
Scientists develop a method to convert Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) satellite data into detailed information about cloud cover properties, enhancing the ability to forecast available sunlight for solar power plants. The output of solar energy systems is highly dependent on cloud cover. While weather forecasting can be used toContinue Reading
Researchers have successfully demonstrated a new electronic refrigeration technology that can enable major leaps in the development of quantum computers. Present quantum computers require extremely complicated and large cooling infrastructure that is based on mixture of different isotopes of helium. The new electronic cooling technology could replace these cryogenic liquidContinue Reading
