The Space Aquaculture Project at Okayama University of Science is an ambitious research initiative aimed at cultivating fish and crustaceans on the moon and Mars, which are expected to serve as food production bases for future space exploration. The project ultimately seeks to improve astronauts' quality of life through better food options in space.
New Exhibition Explores Palestinian Stories of Displacement Across Generations Though there has been little said about it over the years, Palestinian displacement started decades ago. During the 1948 Nakba, around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes as Zionist groups seized towns and villages, forcing families to rebuild their lives elsewhere.
"Civilizations are remembered through their monuments, but understood through the things they throw away," the artist says.
A nuclear energy firm has broke ground on the first advanced nuclear reactor plant in the country, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Set to come online in 2030, it will help stymy the growth in energy costs from several large data centers run by Google in the Tennessee/Alabama area. Beyond that, the well-researched technology aims to
South Korea Has 24-Hour Ramen Shops That Are Completely Unmanned and Self-Serve Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida por 불꽃헤어라인 (@ckhomme) Few things are as cozy as a bowl of ramen, particularly late at night. But to many, the best version of this dish features ingredients that many don’t have at home.
The Bozeman-based artist is known for his eccentric wooden works that draw on folklore, personal memory, and daily observations.
Astronomers using archival data from Hubble and supportive observations from Webb have located their first stellar-mass black hole in the star cluster Omega Centauri.
romero) In southern France, artist Almudena Romero created what many describe as the largest photographic artwork ever made by transforming a two-hectare (nearly 5-acre) wheat field into a living image of a human eye.
A protein associated with longevity in humans has recently been found at high concentrations in an extraordinarily long-living mouse. The discovery makes the case for more research into a poorly-understood, potentially gene-determined, metabolic pathway for healthy aging that could help scientists better understand the aging process across mammals. The golden spiny mouse is unusual among
IMDEA Materials Institute has developed mechanically tunable hydrogel membranes that closely mimic the mechanical environment of human skin while remaining highly biocompatible, representing an improved platform for skin tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
A decade ago, a young American began recording interviews with World War II combat veterans to satisfy his curiosity about the war. That curiosity became something of an obsession, and 3,000 veterans later, his hard drives and SD cards have become something of a national treasure. Brought to us from Steve Hartman for CBS News’
Edgar Villanueva says that Indigenous communities have solutions to environmental problems but struggle to access funding.
Untreated synthetic dye effluents severely threaten aquatic ecosystems by blocking sunlight, depleting dissolved oxygen and releasing compounds with potential ecological toxicity. Among the various treatment strategies, biological treatment is considered a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical methods.
New research by the University of Oxford and the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University has revealed that most biodiversity commitments made by large, influential companies are not precise enough to enable society to evaluate whether they are making progress toward meeting their commitments. The results have been published in One Earth.
In most modern cells, DNA stores the genetic blueprint, and proteins replicate, repair and build from those blueprints. At the same time, proteins require instructions from DNA to be made in the first place.
“There used to be a massive block of concrete here, there was an advertising column, it wasn’t so beautiful,” says Gilles Namur, waving his hand along the length of Cours Lafontaine, a street that runs through the historic center of Grenoble. Today, it’s a different sight altogether. The street has.
Happy Eco News Freshwater Mussel Habitat Protection Expands Across 17 States to Safeguard Endangered Species The freshwater mussel habitat protection has designated 3,814 river miles of critical habitat across 17 states for four endangered freshwater mussel species.
Happy Birthday to Sir Patrick Stewart who turns 86 years old today. The English actor of stage and film grew up poor, yet not only excels in Shakespeare, but plays the lead in his own science fiction series—Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also stars as Charles Xavier in the superhero
A research team in Colorado has developed a suite of new therapies that prompt aging or damaged joints to repair themselves within weeks, according to animal studies. The new osteo-arthritis treatments include a single, regenerative injection to a joint and a biomaterial repair kit that recruits the body’s own cells to patch holes in damaged
A perfectly preserved Roman statue which was deliberately buried 1,600 years ago has been unearthed near Hadrian’s Wall. 5 ft-high figure carved from sandstone is a ‘protective spirit’, also known as a ‘genius’, which is displayed like a shrine to invoke security and wealth.

When Sarah Shelke was 13 years old, a close teenage family member was diagnosed with depression. It was the first time Shelke witnessed mental health struggles in the real world, and her natural instinct was to educate herself. Within months, she’d enrolled in psychology classes at a community college. “That was really where my idea
An Indiana man accomplished the unimaginable after setting an audacious goal fourteen years ago: to walk the Earth’s circumference—24,901 miles. It took dedication and consistency over the course of thousands of days, but Russell Mumper met that goal on June 25. “He didn’t finish it with anything fancy,” his daughter, Shannon Mumper, told GNN. “My
Long before scientists began studying them in the lab, mind-altering substances were already being gathered from plants, fungi and even animals for use in rituals, healing practices and mental health treatment. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now managed to bring together in a single organism five psychedelic substances that in nature are scattered across the tree of life.
Mid-Century Spray Paintings Are at the Center of This Ethereal Exhibition American painter Jules Olitski spent the 1960s redefining what color could do on canvas. Rather than applying paint with a traditional brush, he turned to industrial spray guns, creating vast fields of luminous pigment that appear to hover just above the surface.
