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

Here Are The Highest Resolution Images Ever Taken Of The Sun

The Sun is awesome. It has given us so many beautiful and amazing things that it simply can’t be called anything other than that. Just think about it: it provides all of Earth’s living creatures with warmth, is a key part of the oxygen-making process, gives us marvelous sunrises and sunsets, makes stunning eclipses happen, and, on top of it all, is one of the sources of vitamin D and makes

Here Are The 30 Best Photos That NASA’s Curiosity Has Taken After 7 Years On Mars

For us, mere mortals, Mars is a no man's land where survival seems like a distant dream. After all, no man has ever walked on its surface (as far as we know) and plans to send one to the red planet are only in the early stages of its development. However, humans have touched Mars through the durable wheels of Mars rovers. We've had 4 successful robotically operated Mars rovers (all of which were m

Perfectly Timed Photo Frames a Solar Eclipse Around a Man Leading a Camel in the Desert

Awe-inspiring photographs all have something in common—the photographer was in the right place at the right time. Sometimes, it’s by happenstance; but, as photographer Joshua Cripps demonstrates, it is often the result of months of preparation. The California-based creative was planning on being in the Middle East in mid-December 2019 when he found out there would be an annular solar eclipse.

Bees Absolutely Love Cannabis and It Could Help Restore Their Populations

That’s great news for the environment! (TMU) — Bees are major fans of hemp and a recent study has found that the taller the hemp plants are the larger the number of bees that will flock to it. The new research, spearheaded by researchers at Cornell University and published last month in Environmental Entomology, shows that humans aren’t the only fans of weed. The findings also reinf

Photographer Captures Amazing Light Pillars In Northern Ontario (20 Pics)

A lot of spectacular things happen at night, and luckily there is someone to capture them while we're sleeping tight in our beds. Photographer Timothy Joseph Elzinga was recently woken up by his 2-year-old boy Gibson at 1:30 a.m. when his son spotted beautiful color lights dancing in the sky. Timothy quickly picked up his camera and shot some amazing photos of what he later realized is a phenomeno

Here’s How To Always Win At Rock, Paper, Scissors

But like most thing, this game is more than just random chance – it’s a battle of patterns, psychology, and statistics, as Mic have pointed out. So while it might be too late to assert your playground dominance, here’s what the statistics, research, and experts have to say about winning the

Why Do Dogs Keep Jumping Off Scotland’s ‘Dog Suicide Bridge’?

Scottish dog walkers beware: There is a bridge in West Dunbartonshire that is said to have a peculiar and often fatal effect on pet pooches, who have been inexplicably leaping into the gorge below since the 1950s. In that time, around 50 dogs are said to have met their end beneath this creepy crossing, with some reports estimating that a further 600 have miraculously survived after jumping off the

There’s an Unfinished ‘City of The Future’ Tucked Away in The Arizona Desert

There's a giant contradiction in the middle of the Arizona desert: an experimental city designed for thousands that now contains only a few dozen inhabitants. For nearly five decades, a group called the Cosanti Foundation has been working to build a city that would inspire a new future of urban design. Today, the project is only 5 percent complete. Called Arcosanti, the city was envisioned b
