Island Turns Into Open-Air Lab for Tech-Savvy Volcanologists

LAS MANCHAS, Canary Islands—They come with eagle-eyed drones and high-precision instruments. Aided by satellites, they analyze gas emissions and the flows of molten rock. On the ground, they collect everything from the tiniest particles to “lava bombs” the size of watermelons that one of nature’s most powerful forces hurl as incandescent projectiles. Scientists from around…


Spacewalking Astronauts Replace Antenna After Debris Scare

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—Spacewalking astronauts replaced a broken antenna outside the International Space Station on Thursday after getting NASA’s all-clear for orbiting debris. U.S. astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron were supposed to complete the job Tuesday, but NASA delayed the spacewalk because of potentially threatening space junk. NASA later determined the astronauts were safe to…


Total Solar Eclipse to Grace the Skies on December 4—Here’s What You Need to Know:

The extraordinary cosmic event of a total eclipse of the sun will present itself to an exclusive audience on Dec. 4, 2021. Stargazers hoping to witness the moon’s umbra shadow obliterate the solar sphere from view will have to sojourn to the Antarctic—where the eclipse will first appear in the Southern Ocean. It will then…


Fauci’s Claim to ‘Represent Science’ is Anti-Science

Commentary Just when you thought Dr. Anthony Fauci couldn’t do any more harm in the fight against COVID: He just appeared on CBS’s Sunday interview program Face the Nation and ridiculously claimed that criticizing him presents “a distinct anti-science flavor because I represent science.” He added, ludicrously, “That’s dangerous…I’m not going to be around here…


New Dinosaur Species From Chile Had a Unique Slashing Tail

Fossils found in Chile are from a strange-looking dog-sized dinosaur species that had a unique slashing tail weapon, scientists reported Wednesday. Some dinosaurs had spiked tails they could use as stabbing weapons and others had tails with clubs. The new species, described in a study in the journal Nature, has something never seen before on…


Flood Geology Series (Episode 7): The Missoula Flood Part2

In the 1920’s J. Harland Bretz, a secular geologist proposed a massive flood across eastern Washington. He was rejected by his colleagues because the flood seemed too “biblical”. He was shunned, for forty years, until satellite images proved him right. Scientist Michael Oard explores the Missoula Flood, demonstrating how the geologic features are a small…


Startup Raises $1.8 Billion in Bid to Generate Fusion Nuclear Energy

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has raised more than $1.8 billion, the largest private investment in the nuclear fusion industry as more investors pour money into energy projects that claim limitless energy with no or minimal wastage. Founded in 2017, CFS is based out of Cambridge, MA, and plans to deploy the capital to “construct, commission,…


Xenobots: Cell-Based Living Robots That Can Self-Replicate

Swarms of tiny living robots have discovered the ability to self-replicate, i.e. reproduce, through the process of gathering single cells and assembling them together to form new organisms, through a unique process not seen until now in plants or animals. Researchers Sam Kriegman, Douglas Blackiston, Michael Levin, and Josh Bongard; from Tufts University, Harvard, and…


Citing Debris Risk, NASA Delays Spacewalk to Fix Space Station Antenna

A spacewalk planned for Tuesday to repair a faulty antenna on the International Space Station was postponed indefinitely, NASA said, citing a “debris notification” it received for the orbiting research laboratory. Two U.S. astronauts had been scheduled to venture outside the space station at 7:10 a.m. ET to begin their work, facing what NASA officials…
