Photographer Travels Around The World To Capture The Incredible Beauty Of Red Hair, Photographs More Than 30 Redheads

While redheads have become synonymous with Ireland and Scotland, American photographer Brian Dowling who now lives in Berlin(Germany), photographed over 130 redheads from 20 different countries for his project “Redhead Beauty”. Red hair is the rarest hair color in the world and is caused by a gene mutation know as MC1R which affects about 1% of the world population. This gene mutation can a

The Northern Lights take on the form of the legendary bird over Iceland

On these astonishing photos of the Northern Lights, we can see the Lights taking the shape of a Phoenix (the majestic bird from Ancient Greek folklore). The photograph was taken by photographer Hallgrimur P. Helgason in Kaldarsel, on which the giant wings and bird-like profile were clearly visible and blew the visitors away. According to Helgason, 64-years-old, he saw the Phoenix shape an hour

The Last Mars Panorama Sent by Opportunity Is So Beautiful We Could Cry

Before its circuits ran cold in the shadow of a Martian dust storm, Opportunity took one long look at its surroundings and saved it for posterity. The image represents a poignant conclusion to the rover's mission; a detailed panorama combining the most recent tracks of its marathon journey with a glimpse of the sands it would never touch. Forget the science for a moment. Just look at it.

Math Genius Has Devised a Wildly Simple New Way to Solve Quadratic Equations

If you studied algebra in high school (or you're learning it right now), there's a good chance you're familiar with the quadratic formula. If not, it's possible you repressed it. By this point, billions of us have had to learn, memorise, and implement this unwieldy algorithm in order to solve quadratic equations, but according to mathematician Po-Shen Loh from Carnegie Mellon University, there'

We Finally Know How Much Energy Humans Actually Need to Live a Decent Life

The climate crisis is inherently a debate over what we feel entitled to have in order to live a decent life, and how we generate the energy we need to get all humans there. There's no doubt we're cooking our planet out of a desire to live our best lives, and most of us living in western countries need to cut back on our usage. But what's less clear is exactly how much wiggle room there is for r

Quantum Teleportation Reported in a Qutrit For The First Time

Earlier this year, we celebrated a first in the field of quantum physics: scientists were able to 'teleport' a qutrit, or a piece of quantum information based on three states, opening up a whole host of new possibilities for quantum computing and communication. Up until then, quantum teleportation had only been managed with qubits, albeit over impressively long distances. This proof-of-concept

Betelgeuse Looks Fainter Than Usual. Could It Mean It’s About to Go Supernova?

Have you noticed that Orion the Hunter – one of the most iconic and familiar of the wintertime constellations – is looking a little… different as of late? The culprit is its upper shoulder star Alpha Orionis, aka Betelgeuse, which is looking markedly faint, the faintest it has been for the 21st century. When will this nearby supernova candidate pop, and what would it look like if it did?
