These objects are 100 times brighter than they should be. Observations from the agency's NuSTAR X-ray telescope support a potential answer to this riddle. About 10 million times more energy than the Sun, ultra-bright X-ray sources [more…]
The most severe seismic event to hit the country since 1939 occurred on February 6, when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southeast Turkey in the early morning hours. A 7.6 magnitude earthquake a few hours later [more…]
The chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr) form alkali metals. Together with hydrogen, they form the 1st group in the s block of the periodic table. [more…]
The effects of reduced gene control of senescent cells on health and longevity still need to be investigated. Aging cells undergo a process known as cryptic transcription, in which they create RNA transcripts from short sequences inserted into certain genes. [more…]
The earth rotates on its axis at a speed of about 1.000 miles per hour. The short answer is yes, but that doesn't tell the whole story. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed on its axis is 1,525 feet per second, or [more…]
The deepest fish ever recorded by researchers is a juvenile snail that sailed 8.336 meters (about 27.000 feet) just above the seafloor during a voyage deep into the northern Pacific Ocean. [more…]
One species known as the yellow crazy ant lives up to its name by a hitherto "unknown to science" method of reproduction. Researchers recently discovered that an ant species had been previously identified by science. [more…]
A new isotope of uranium was found by carefully measuring the masses of 19 neutron-rich nuclei. Poor knowledge of the properties of heavy, neutron-rich isotopes is due to difficulties in synthesizing these nuclei. Currently Toshitaka Niwase and [more…]
