NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a planet where it rains sand, in ground-breaking observation. The planet, WASP-107b, lying 200 light years away, was discovered in 2017 after astronomers spotted a distinct periodic light going on and off like a candle from its host star eac...
Journalist Edward Zitron wrote that Altman was “a false prophet – a seedy grifter that uses his remarkable ability to impress and manipulate Silicon Valley’s elite”. Ellen Huet of Bloomberg News, on the podcast Foundering, reached the conclusion that “when [Altman] says something, you ...
Used with conventional measuring machines, it was discovered that when workpieces made of light metal were being inspected, some of the metal adhered to the tip of the probe, so erroneous results were obtd. The invention avoids such problems.SCHUSTER,ERICH...
Additional support came in 1885 when eka-silicon, which had also been described in advance by Mendeleyev, was discovered and named germanium.The structure of the periodic table appeared to limit the number of possible elements. It was therefore quite surprising when John William Strut ,Lord ...
Who would have guessed 10 years ago that AWS was going to dominate public infrastructure computing and be worth several hundred billion dollars or multiples of Amazon market cap at the time? Not even Bezos. Even without AWS, an investment in Amazon shares would have yielded a fantastic 10-year...
2023). The Balmer-line problem was shown to vanish when heavy elements are properly included in the atmosphere models, as they alter the temperature stratification of the outer layers, which in turn impacts the shape of the spectral features (Bergeron et al. 1993; Werner 1996a; Gianninas et...
In a relatively short time, Product Hunt has become a kind of early-warning system for apps that are about to break out. TapTalk,a fast-growing picture messaging app, got a seed investment from the venture capital firm SV Angel after a partner discovered it there. Traffic to Product Hunt...
Early twentieth century theoretical physicists discovered that the simplest atoms were measurable at the nanometer scale of one billionth of a meter. In 1959, in his lecture “Race to the Bottom,” the physicist Richard Feynman proposed a new science and technology to manipulate molecules at the ...
You have discovered a new substance that you suspect may be a living organism. What characteristics would this substance need to have in order to be classified as living? What are all the organisms in a given area as well as the abiotic factors with which they interact, one or...
A recent awareness regarding the origins of chert & flint: If early Earth didn’t possess diatom-radiolarians or sponges (both of which build their skeletons from silicon) the deposition of silicon on the sea floor would not have allowed for the generation of those glass-like minerals, without...
