Future bases on the Moon could be built less expensively by using the urine of the astronauts who stay there, a study has found. Both Nasa and the China National Space Administration have plans to build bases on our nearest celestial neighbour to aid in space exploration and to use as a possible jumping-off point…
Reverse-engineered breathing aid gets swift regulatory nod
UCL and UCL Hospital scientists have worked with Mercedes Formula One (F1) to develop a new continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilator – a breathing aid which can be used outside intensive care units – and quickly received regulatory approval for the device, to help hospital staff in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. A…

Captain Marvel 2 will witness a secret invasion involving a Skrull refugee played by Alexander Ludwig hiding on earth trying to escape from a Kree squadron led by Jude Law’s Yon Rogg Now that Captain Marvel 2 is confirmed to happen and hit the screens sometime in 2022, people have been wondering what the plot would…
Will They Ever Learn? Chinese Markets Are Still Selling Bats And Slaughtering Rabbits On Blood-Soaked Floors As Beijing Celebrates ‘Victory’ Over The Coronavirus
Terrified dogs and cats crammed into rusty cages. Bats and scorpions offered for sale as traditional medicine. Rabbits and ducks slaughtered and skinned side by side on a stone floor covered with blood, filth, and animal remains. Those were the deeply troubling scenes yesterday as China celebrated its ‘victory’ over the coronavirus by reopening squalid meat markets of the…

Graviton : A Theory Of Physics
In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity. In string theory, believed to be a consistent theory of quantum gravity, the…
Bubbles go with the flow: Simulating behavior of fluids moving through pipes
Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, used a sophisticated physical model to simulate the behavior of fluids moving through pipes. By including the possibility of shear-induced bubble formation, they find that, contrary to the assumptions of many previous works, fluids can experience significant slippage when in contact with fixed boundaries….
Researchers catch light in a funnel
Professor Ronny Thomale holds a chair for theoretical condensed matter physics, the TP1, at the Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg. The discovery and theoretical description of new quantum states of matter is a prime objective of his research. “Developing a theory for a new physical phenomenon which then inspires new experiments seeking after this effect is…
