I Photographed Penguins In Antarctica And They Are Cuteness Overload (10 Pics)

I spent some time in Antarctica a few weeks ago, and besides photographing landscapes, I couldn't help but document the cute penguins. I quickly got addicted to photographing them as they're just so nice to watch⁠—their amusing movements, cute interactions with little chicks, and even their funny way of walking. I could sit there and just watch them for hours. Being on the islands of Antarc

After 40 Years of Hunting, Scientists Identify a Key Flaw in Solar Panel Efficiency

Solar panels are fantastic pieces of technology, but we need to work out how to make them even more efficient – and last year, scientists solved a 40-year-old mystery around one of the key obstacles to increased efficiency. The 2019 study outlined a material defect in silicon used to produce solar cells that has previously gone undetected. It could be responsible for the 2 percent efficiency

96-årig bedstemor skal sælge sit hus –så kigger folk ind og opdager det har stået urørt i 72 år

1. 13 Nyheden om det uhørte hus spredte sig, da den 96-årige ejer til sit valgte at sælge stedet efter 72 år. En ejendomsmægler tog sagen, gik indenfor døren… og tabte kæben over det hun så. Hele verden fra den smukke entre til bagsiden, er det her hus i canadiske Toronto en perfekt bevaret tidskapsel fra 1950’erne. 2. 13 Det uimodståelige tapet i entréen. 3. 1

Someone In Bulgaria Is Putting Googly Eyes On Broken Street Objects, And It’s Even Better Than Fixing Things

Last month we introduced you to the art of "eyebombing," otherwise known as sticking googly eyes on basically anything you can find in order to make people smile. Well the trend has now reached Bulgaria thanks to a street artist called Vanyu Krastev, and as you can see from his "eye-catching" work, he certainly has an "eye" for the perfect eyebomb! From trees and lamp posts to trash cans and si

Powerful Radio Signal From Deep Space Appears to Be Repeating in a 16-Day Cycle

One of the defining characteristics of the mysterious deep-space signals we call fast radio bursts is that they are unpredictable. They belch out across the cosmos without rhyme or reason, with no discernible pattern, making them incredibly hard to study. Now, for the first time, astronomers have found a fast radio burst (FRB) that repeats on a regular cycle. Every 16.35 days, the signal nam

NASA Astronaut Christina Koch Just Officially Shattered a New Spaceflight Record

NASA's Christina Koch returned to Earth safely on Thursday after shattering the spaceflight record for female astronauts with a stay of almost 11 months aboard the International Space Station. Koch touched down at 09:12 GMT on the Kazakh steppe after 328 days in space, along with Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian space agency. Koch was shown s

Geologists Finally Reveal The Forces That Forged Earth’s Sunken Continent Zealandia

Three years ago, the identification of Zealandia as a continent made global headlines. Now, newly published results from our scientific drilling expedition reveal the largely submerged Zealandia continent, which stretches across five million square kilometres beneath the southwest Pacific Ocean, was shaped by two tectonic events. First it was ripped away from Australia and Antarctica, and th

An Extremely Rare ‘Double Nucleus’ Has Been Imaged in a Nearby Galaxy

Wrapped up within the nearby Cocoon Galaxy, astronomers have detected a rare double heart. Recognised in the Northern Hemisphere for its distinct shape, this distorted spiral galaxy, otherwise known as NGC 4490, appears to be hiding a true rarity. Despite its relatively small size - its system is roughly a fifth of the Milky Way - this cocoon holds not one, but two central cores. "I saw the

Bumblebees Are in Trouble, as Rising Temperatures Drive Their Decline

For some species, small jumps in temperature make a big difference in survival. To predict which populations are at risk, ecologists developed a new way to map shifts in population in relation to temperature change, and tested it on bumblebees. The news for many of these fuzzy-buzzy pollination balls across the western hemisphere isn't great. Putting aside any damage we're causing through wanto

The World’s Only Venomous Primate Could Explain Why Humans Are Allergic to Cats

For those with a severe cat allergy, any location that harbours a pet feline can become a toxic no-go zone. Research on another tragically cute mammal now suggests this might be no accident of nature – cats really are trying to keep us away. A study on the world's only known example of a venomous primate has found a surprising similarity between a key protein in its armpit glands and the alle
