Scientists Unlock a New Method That Can Actually Bend Diamonds

Diamond is one of the hardest materials on the planet, but scientists have found a new way of getting it to bend and deform – and the key to these processes is to work at the tiniest possible scales. By beaming an electric field at diamond nanoneedles just 20 nanometres in length (about 10,000 time smaller than a human hair), the researchers were able to get them to bend to 90 degrees without

Astronomers Find Ultramassive Galaxy From The Early Universe That Suddenly Died

Astronomers have found a monster galaxy causing trouble in the early Universe. When the Universe was just 1.8 billion years old, galaxy XMM-2599 was already a colossal chonker. It was also already dead as a doornail. Sometime between the Big Bang (13.8 billion years ago) and 12 billion years ago, it had ballooned out in a burst of star formation - and then completely stopped. "Even before

This Weekend We Might See a ‘Snow Supermoon’. Here’s What That Means

A full snow moon will be visible in the sky this weekend, but experts disagree about whether or not it's a supermoon. It will be one of the biggest full moons this year, since the Moon is nearing the closest point to Earth in its orbit. But there's no official definition for a supermoon. Astrologer Richard Nolle, who coined the term, and TimeandDate.com say that this is not a supermoon. Astr

We May Finally Have a Way to Detect Hawking Radiation Leaking From Black Holes

The epic collision between two neutron stars in 2017 really is the science gift that keeps on giving. As they merged, gravitational waves rippled out across the Universe; now reverberations from that event could confirm a decades-old hypothesis about black holes. Astronomers poring over the gravitational wave data believe they have found evidence of echoes - something that would only occur in t

US Trial Shows 3 Cancer Patients Had Their Genomes Altered Safely by CRISPR

US scientists have succeeded in genetically editing the immune systems of three cancer patients using CRISPR, without creating any side effects, a first for the tool which is revolutionizing biomedical research. The highly anticipated results from the first phase of a clinical trial were published in the journal Science on Thursday. They represent a stepping stone that doesn't yet prove CRIS

15 Unbelievable Places That Look Like They’re From Another Planet

These out-of-this-world photos will make you feel like you're on another planet. Why spend years training to be an astronaut when you explore strange new worlds right here on earth? So what if you didn't pass the last phase of the Mars One screening process! Sometimes, there might be exotic locations right under your nose - we often get bored of our own surroundings even though they might seem

Photographer Captured The Unlikely Friendship Between A Grey Wolf And A Brown Bear

It’s not every day that you see a grey wolf and a brown bear hanging out together in the wild. In fact, it sounds like something straight out of a fairytale. But Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen saw it firsthand. It wasn’t just a spur of the moment chance encounter, either. The lucky photographer was able to document the unlikely friendship over the course of ten days in 2013. He wa

Huge Lion Surprises Photographer With Scary Roar, Then Smiles At Him

“Do go on doing a lot of walking and keep up your love of nature, for that is the right way to understand art better and better. Painters understand nature and love her and teach us to see.” Can you imagine working in nature? Wildlife photographers are blessed, as while struggling to capture the perfect shot, they mingle with nature, come face-to-face with rare animals, relate with wildl

Photographer Captures One of the Last Surviving Female Eagle Hunters of Mongolia

Deep within the wild, mountainous regions of Mongolia, a small group of nomads keeps the ancient art of eagle hunting alive. The traditional form of falconry involves training birds of prey to help hunt wild animals such as foxes and small hares—a powerful skill that has been handed down from father to son over thousands of years. German photographer Leo Thomas recently visited Western Mongolia�

These Exotic Trees Transform Into Rainbows as Their Barks Shed

Eucalyptus trees are most known for their fragrant leaves and for being the main food source for koalas, but did you know that they can also be quite colorful? In fact, Eucalyptus deglupta is so colorful that it’s known as the rainbow eucalyptus. When this incredible tree sheds its bark, it almost looks like a colored pencil being sharpened. This makes for a spectacle that is unforgettable.
