Check out this desk-size turbine that could power a small town of about 10,000 homes. As noted by MIT, The unit is driven by “supercritical carbon dioxide,” which is in a state that at very high pressure and up to 700 °C exists as neither a liquid nor a gas.
A revolutionary technology, a small turbine, has the ability to provide Continue Reading →
Our universe is one heck of a place.
Shrouded in mystery, scientists have tried since time immemorial to understand our place in the vastness of space.
This search has led many astronomers—and philosophers in ancient times—to wonder whether or not humans are the only living Continue Reading →
Ok, so you’d probably ask what the heck are time crystals and what are they doing in kids’ toys?
We’d have to define first what crystals are. Crystals—ordinary crystals—are defined as being a structure made of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces Continue Reading →
Are you tired of living in Suburbia? Perhaps in the future, you can apply to live on the high seas in a community of self-sufficient, solar-powered pyramid-shaped buildings.
The Waya abodes, designed by Pierpaolo Lazzarini, are inspired by Continue Reading →
There is a mysterious universe out there.
Proof of that is the countless discoveries that have been made in the past years. With each discovery, it seems we only learn how little we know about the cosmos. Now, a recent image shared by the European Space Agency has revealed Continue Reading →
According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order of Time, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton’s picture of a universally ticking clock. Even Albert Einstein’s relativistic space-time — an elastic manifold that contorts so that local times differ depending Continue Reading →
The sun, which holds steady in the center of the solar system, is fascinating enough in of itself. But it also produces solar flares, which are just as fascinating. However, no matter how mesmerizing they may seem to be, they are known Continue Reading →
Space discovery is expanding almost as massively as space itself — thanks to the power and clarity of the Kepler Space Telescope — making the possibility of hundreds of billions of exoplanets, if not a trillion Continue Reading →
Physicists have done the seemingly impossible: found a way to track mysterious quantum particles even when those particles aren’t being directly observed. In classical physics, an object occupies Continue Reading →
432 Hz is an alternative tuning that is mathematically consistent with the universe. Music based on 432 Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math Continue Reading →
Do you ever listen to music and feel the hairs on your arm or neck standing up? Perhaps it makes you feel like crying? It may mean that you have a strong connection between Continue Reading →
Excitonium has a team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign… well… excited! Professor of Physics Peter Abbamonte and graduate students Anshul Kogar and Mindy Rak, with input from Continue Reading →
While most of us wouldn’t go out of our way to hurt another living creature, plenty of people don’t think twice about eating meat. Where their food came from and the Continue Reading →

Astronomers using the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile have conducted the deepest spectroscopic survey ever. They focused on Continue Reading →
The dental fillings that we all probably hate going to the dentist to get taken care of may soon be a part of history!
A new discovery about a drug called Tideglusib might replace Continue Reading →
As Nikola Tesla said, “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of it existence.” And truly, we are living in the beginning Continue Reading →
We’ve seen ourselves in the heavens. A giant spiral galaxy 180 million light years from Earth not only resembles the Milky Way but also boasts a pair of interacting Continue Reading →
Progress, as they say, is slow. In science, this is often true even for major breakthroughs; rarely is an entire field of research remade in a single swoop. The Human Genome Project took a decade. Finding the first gravitational waves Continue Reading →
Scientists have managed to edit the DNA inside of a living patient for the first time ever, and it seems we are upon a new milestone in the history of science. A group of researchers from UCSF Benioff Children’s Continue Reading →
Despite the recognition that Carl Jung has received throughout the last century or so, the importance of his work still cannot be stressed enough. The real beauty of Jung’s work was his ability to Continue Reading →
Wormholes are fascinating (but theoretical) cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. They would allow one to create “shortcuts” through space in order to travel Continue Reading →
There is a clear effect of art therapy on severe depression, University of Gothenburg reports.
Previous studies have shown a direct effect that art Continue Reading →
Imagine lying on a hospital bed, closing your eyes, and then being able to hear the doctors announce your own time of death. If this sounds strangely familiar to you, perhaps you’re thinking of the recently Continue Reading →
In our modern age, all of us have been touched in one way or another by mental illness, either directly or indirectly. Depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, and an ever growing list of psychotic Continue Reading →
For more than 3000 years mantras (sacred sounds) have been chanted for the purpose of spiritual healing.
During the early period of Hinduism, spiritual gurus became fascinated by poetry and began Continue Reading →
The Foundations of Epigenetic DNA Activation: Life is Energy
Einstein, Tesla, and the science of quantum physics have shown us that the fabric of the Universe is composed of vibrational strings expressed as energy. Every single cell and organ system, as well as our entire physical body, is encompassed Continue Reading →
EINSTEIN: Do you believe in the Divine as isolated from the world?
TAGORE: Not isolated. The infinite personality of Man comprehends the Universe. There cannot be anything that cannot be subsumed by the human Continue Reading →
Despite popular belief, keeping children in a sanitary bubble may not be what is best for them. Science continues to suggest that getting a little dirty is actually better for kids.
In an interview with The Current‘s Anna Maria Tremonti, Canadian Continue Reading →
The known observable universe has just expanded exponentially. As CNN.com reports, previous scientific thought concluded that there were approximately 100 – 200 billion distant galaxies. This number was calculated from Hubble Deep Field observations starting in the mid 1990s. Now, astronomers have adjusted that number substantially upward. They believe that there could be 2 trillion galaxies, or ten times as many as previously estimated. These evolving discoveries are thanks to the tremendous technology and teamwork involved with the Hubble Space Telescope. It was piggybacked into orbit by the Discovery Space Shuttle in 1990 and runs by solar power. Continue Reading →
