Are fast radio bursts caused by interstellar objects crashing into neutron stars?

Every now and then, astronomers will detect an odd kind of radio signal. So powerful it can outshine a galaxy, but lasting only milliseconds. They are known as fast radio bursts (FRBs). When they were first discovered a couple of decades ago, we had no idea what might cause them.

From traditional to technological: Using laser Doppler vibrometry for fresco conservation

Fresco painting, a technique that dates back to antiquity, involves applying dry pigments to wet plaster, creating stunning artwork that can last for centuries. Over time, however, these masterpieces often face degradation due to delamination, where decorative plaster layers separate from the underlying masonry or structural plaster. This deterioration can compromise the structural integrity of […]

Could an increase in Antarctic ice levels trigger a new ice age and help reverse global warming?

Scientists studying the causes of ice ages say that an increase in Antarctic ice levels could be enough to trigger a new ice age that would reverse the current warming of our planet.

As climate change continues to cause rising global temperatures that are busy melting the ice caps, scientists are racing to figure […]

Was this underwater pyramid in China constructed before the Great Flood?

There is always an ongoing dispute about how old the ancient pyramids really are. Mainstream archaeologists tend to follow an agreed-upon timeline, while others continuously question the dates. Could the Egyptian pyramids really date back hundreds of thousands of years, as some suggest?

One thing is clear: The debate may never end. However, if […]
