The bizarre discovery, detailed in a study that has yet to be peer-reviewed, stems from an experiment in which photons were fired into a cloud of atoms cooled to just above absolute zero. In cases where the photons passed through without interacting, researchers found that the atoms were still briefly excited, as though the photons had been absorbed and re-emitted. Meanwhile, when the photons were absorbed, they seemed to reappear before the atoms could even become excited.

The promising compounda were discovered on an organic farm.

It’s about studying space junk.

Kononenko was joined by another cosmonaut, Nikolai Chub, along with NASA's Tracy Caldwell Dyson in the landing. His tenure obliterates the previous record held by his fellow Russian Gennady Padalka, who hit 878 cumulative days back in 2015. The 60-year-old space veteran accomplished this feat across five separate missions stretching back to 2008.

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, took an innovative approach by examining two groups of individuals with focal brain lesions resulting from injuries or disorders. One cohort consisted of 106 Vietnam veterans who suffered traumatic brain injuries in combat decades ago. The other included 84 patients from rural Iowa who experienced strokes, surgical complications, or other brain injuries.

The details of solar’s expansion are even more surprising

Not every country is riding the solar power rocket to the sun just yet. Individual countries have seen peaks and dips in solar installations based on how well their economies are doing and how strong their policy incentives are, like feed-in tariffs, net metering, and tax credits.

In the past couple of years, the global story has really been about China. Add up every solar panel installed in the US in history and you get how much China installed last year alone, almost 60 percent of all new solar installed in the world. The sheer scale of this deployment broke a lot of forecasters’ models.

US physicists show how immense pulse of radiation could vaporise the side of asteroid and nudge it off course

After being medically evacuated from Gaza, a few children with life-altering injuries have arrived at MSF's reconstructive surgery hospital in Amman, Jordan, where they are receiving comprehensive and long-term care.

To reach that surprisingly conclusion, scientists studied the positions of 21 asteroid impact craters during the Ordovician period – the second of six periods in the Paleozoic Era that spanned 41.6 million years, from roughly 485.4 million years ago to about 443.8 million years ago.

Ken Wilson had been trying to conserve electricity in order to lower his utility bill, but it was still stubbornly high

The leading idea is that gravity arises from the exchange of hypothetical "graviton" particles, much like electromagnetism arises from the exchange of photons. However, gravitons have always been considered too difficult to observe because they interact with matter very weakly, similar to neutrinos.
