Archytas of Tarentum, who was born around the year 435 BC in what is now Taranto, Apulia, Italy, was another in a long line of brilliant polymaths from Ancient Greece, a noted military general and strategist who also made...

Some mysteries are likely never to be solved, indeed some are not meant to be. One of the most 'popular' mysteries known to us comes in the form of a coincidence, pertaining to the latitude of the ancient Egyptian...

Scientists have created a material called "goldene," which is a super thin form of gold. The innovation followed the creation of graphene, a material made of only one layer of graphite atoms. Graphene is very strong and conducts heat...

Researchers claim that findings from a new, much larger 3D cosmic map covering three times as many galaxies and previous efforts, may challenge the present idea of dark energy and raises questions about the future of the universe. The largest...

In a new discovery, scientists have developed a unique four-atom molecule, colder than any seen before. This strange molecule, formed from sodium-potassium in an unusual arrangement, boasts an exceptionally lengthy chemical bond. It was produced at a temperature of 134...

Experts believe that diamonds, renowned for their hardness, could potentially be compressed to create an even harder substance. These expensive stones, formed from carbon crystals, occur naturally within the Earth's depths. Research even suggests that geological events might propel diamond...

A new study from the University of Ottawa shakes up our understanding of the universe. Published in The Astrophysical Journal, the study challenges what we thought we knew about the universe's makeup. The existing idea says it's made of normal...

On June 3, 1997, Brazil's Roberto Carlos stunned the world with the greatest free-kick in soccer history in a match against France. The free-kick was taken from 35 yards out. It looked like his rasping strike, hit at 136.7 kph...

In a recent study, scientists proposed two potential ways to use energy from black holes. They've discovered methods to draw out energy from black holes by utilizing their spinning and gravitational characteristics. Lead researcher Zhan Feng Mai, a postdoctoral scientist...

In a new research reported by University College London (UCL), physicists may have just cracked the code to unite Einstein's gravity theory with the peculiar rules of quantum mechanics. If their theory holds up, it might untangle a mystery...
