Hundreds of mysterious luminous filaments, horizontal or radial, have been discovered by a group of researchers in the center of our galaxy the Milky Way. They would be thin, elongated bodies of luminous gas, which would have originated millions of years ago due to the interactions of the supermassive black…

The name of the experiment is “light shining through a wall” (technically ALPS II). The world’s most sensitive model for searching for light particles at DESY will search for the material that dark matter is made of. “The idea of an experiment like ALPS has been around for more than…

A literally incredible discovery comes from South America, and specifically from the territories that once belonged to the Mayas, one of the three great pre-Columbian civilizations together with the Inca (Peru) and the Aztecs (Mexico). In fact, an enormous network of highways was discovered in the territory between today’s Guatemala…

“Mitigating extinction risk from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks, such as pandemics and nuclear warfare.” A one-sentence statement, 22 words total to equate the technology emerging from Silicon Valley’s new “gold rush” to the asteroid that struck the Earth 66 million years ago, or some…

Are we an interesting exoplanet for aliens? Our planet scatters a lot of radio signals and this has triggered a hypothesis in the minds of some researchers: could an alien civilization living around another star see these signals if it had the right instrumentation? The research was published in the…

To match the performance of Osprey’s new processor it would take as many bits as there are atoms in the entire universe. A couple of months ago the sale by China of a quantum computer to an anonymous customer was confirmed, an operation that allowed it to become the third…

Among the remarkable progress made in recent decades in finding ways to extend the span of “healthy” human life, a recent breakthrough marks another milestone in medical progress. Scientists at Taiwan’s Taipei Medical University have discovered a genetic modification in mice that can boost cancer-killing cells two to seven times…

Is Satan just the bad guy or he represents something deeper in us? This early morning, still in bed, a thought came to my mind: “what is the meaning of the devil? I mean, I don’t believe the official bad guy story of the Bible, so I thought, what’s the…
