engineers and scientists will continue to analyze data from Artemis 1 and refine the Orion spacecraft and the SLS rocket for future missions. The data and conclusions of the Artemis 1 mission will set the foundations for future crewed Artemis missions...
For decades, scientists have therefore been chasing nuclear fusion as a holy grail of sustainable energy generation, but have fallen short of achieving it. However, a team from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California may have finally made a major leap to creating energy-gi...
There, President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, were given a tour around the laboratories led by Professor Konstantin Novoselov, one of two scientists who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010 for their work on graphene at the University of Manchester. Novoselov was also trained in Chinese ...
Despite a storm of controversy over the mechanism, the fact of evolution was rapidly accepted by scientists. Only after the mechanism of heredity was understood and only after the science of genetics was integrated with natural history was the debate over the mechanism of natural selection extinguish...
Without the natural Earth cycles contributed by nature, society wouldn't have clean, filtered air and vast, varied landscapes. Scientists, environmentalists, and conservationists have helped society to appreciate the offerings of nature further.
It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific rationalization of nature, all components of modernity. The individual was prized, but it was also felt that people were under an obligation to their...
Scientists saw a need for more confined and less-destructive focal lesions than the ones created with the frontal lobotomy procedures that had been introduced by Moniz and were later further developed and clearly too deliberately applied by the neurologist Walter Freeman. This very need for ...
The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff, which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,” said Biela. “but it’s going to be...
More specifically, political science studies things like the allocation and transfer of power, how political decisions are made, and the effectiveness of government. To do this, political scientists consider factors like stability, the justice system, and public health, all of which may be impacted...
Social scientists study how societies work, exploring everything from the triggers of economic growth and the causes of unemployment to what makes people happy. Their findings inform public policies, education programs, urban design, marketing strategies, and many other endeavors. Key Takeaways Social...
