21+ hour, 5+ min ago (905+ words) The story behind the discovery has a personal touch that says a lot about how real science happens. China has created a mass-produced hypersonic missile that costs the same as a Tesla, and this is changing everything in modern warfare…...
China has created its first space exploration school, an academic structure with 14 areas, 22 new subjects, and a focus on interstellar propulsion to prepare for missions beyond the Moon and Mars.
11+ hour, 35+ min ago (1043+ words) China has formalized the creation of the Interstellar Navigation School at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, with the aim of training professionals in areas such as propulsion, communication, navigation in deep space, and space science....
USS Gerald R. Ford: the floating city of $13 billion where 5,000 sailors serve 17,000 meals a day, sleep in stacked bunks, take 10-liter showers, and keep 75 fighter jets ready.
18+ hour, 3+ min ago (1028+ words) Because within this floating city, eating, sleeping, and staying clean are not habits, they are systems. An operational error can cost lives, so even bathing becomes protocol, resting becomes engineering, and feeding becomes a calculation of grams, shifts, and continuous…...
Researchers extracted DNA from a bone fragment of a Neanderthal found in the Denisova Cave in Russia.

The biggest drama of being born on Mars is not breathing: Rice biologist says that colonists' children may cease to be Homo sapiens, shaped by low gravity, radiation, and isolation that divides humanity.
16+ hour, 1+ min ago (963+ words) The biggest problem of living on Mars may not be oxygen, nor building shelters, but something much deeper: what happens to the human body when it begins to evolve outside of Earth. For evolutionary biologist Scott Solomon from Rice University,…...

Scientists released one-ton giant bison in the mountains of Romania, and the result surprised even zoologists: the vegetation in the region increased by 30%, and the soil began to capture ten times more carbon than before.
14+ hour, 47+ min ago (929+ words) The European bison once roamed much of the continent, but it was hunted so intensely that the last wild individuals disappeared in the early 20th century. In 2016, a plane equipped with billions of laser pulses scanned 2,100 km" of jungle in Guatemala…...
In the United States, a valley 86 meters below sea level has reached 56.7°C and remains the place with the highest air temperature ever recorded on Earth, a direct result of a terrain that traps heat between high mountains in the midst of the desert.
12+ hour, 4+ min ago (680+ words) When it comes to extreme heat, many people automatically think of deserts like the Sahara or regions in the Middle East. But the official record for the highest air temperature ever recorded on Earth belongs to a place in the…...
100% Brazilian technology transforms agricultural waste into a meat-scented ingredient using fungi from the Amazon rainforest. The process does not use excessive water or chemicals, and it also increases the nutritional value of the final product.
9+ hour, 37+ min ago (742+ words) The team led by Juliano Lemos Bicas from Unicamp tested different strains of fungi collected in the Amazon rainforest in combination with various organic substrates. In some of these combinations, fermentation produced a strong passion fruit aroma'something unexpected, but which…...
