James Webb provides an unprecedented image of bright Uranus
Who wouldn’t want to receive a beautiful diamond ring this Christmas? How about not just one, but more than 10? What if they were cosmic jewels, contained in one of the planets of the Solar System most distant from Earth? This is exactly the precious gift that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is offering […]
A huge planetary umbrella could be the solution to global warming!
Sometimes the solution to the most complex problems comes through the simplest things. I don’t know if I read it in some phrasebook on the Internet or if it was the teaching of some distant great-aunt. What I know is that this concept has never made as much sense as it does now. Scientists from […]

New quantum batteries can alter the causality of events
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have discovered a way to violate causality to charge quantum batteries. The discovery could lead to the development of more efficient batteries with greater energy storage. In the classical world, causality is a linear relationship between two events. In other words, event A causes event B, but it is […]
Why didn’t Alexander the Great invade Rome?
One of the greatest emperors of antiquity, Alexander the Great, expanded his empire throughout almost all of Asia Minor and Mesopotamia.
