Roads of the future could be lit by glowing trees instead of streetlamps, thanks to a breakthrough in creating bioluminescent plants. Experts injected specialized nanoparticles into the leaves of a watercress plant, which caused it to give off a dim light for nearly four hours. This could solve lots of problems. The chemical involved, which produced enough light to read a book by, is the same

An eighth planet has been discovered orbiting the distant star Kepler-90, proving that our eight-planet solar system isn’t unique after all. This is a groundbreaking scientific discovery, since it marks the first time scientists have become aware of another eight-planet solar system aside from our own. “Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, with t

Scientists working with telescopes at the European Southern Observatory and NASA announced a remarkable new discovery: An entire system of Earth-sized planets. If that’s not enough, the team asserts that the density measurements of the planets indicates that the six innermost are Earth-like rocky worlds. And that’s just the beginning. Three of the planets lie in the star’s habitable

If ever you want a surefire way to calm your nerves on those days when life’s problems seem all-encompassing, wait until nighttime rolls around and head outside for a nice peek up at the stars. When’s the last time you were disappointed by looking at the sky? Or by looking at pictures of the earth from space, even? Composite view of Solar Eclipse as seen from Space We may never know al

Pictures from the Elektro-L No.1 Russian weather satellite of Earth are the highest-detail images yet, and come in at 121 megapixels. The color scheme comes from the image capture method, which combines data from three visible and one infrared wavelengths of light when it takes full-sized images of Earth every 30 minutes. There’s been a long history of NASA-provided “Blue Marble” image

1) According to reports from Chinese News agencies, a mysterious object discovered in 2002 could be evidence of prehistorical civilizations 2) The Lanzhou screw is believed to be similar to the one found in Russia in the 90’s 3) These objects challenge mainstream archaeology and history 4) Researchers from numerous Chinese laboratories have studied the item The Lanzhou screw is another m

Physicists agree that 13-15 billion years ago our universe was shaped by a Big Bang. But where did that Big Bang come from? A new theory suggested by a group of physicists offers the likelihood that our universe is nestled inside a black hole. We may have a mother universe that is one of many universes, and black holes may be the passageways among them, as reported by National Geographic. Dr. N

WHILE scientists are still struggling to explain exactly what a black hole is, they are now examining the possibility of a counter to the mysterious entities – white holes. What scientists do know about black holes is that they are a point in space where the gravity is so intense that not even light can escape – meaning that they are impossible to see, even with modern technology. While n
