Physicists have proposed a mind-boggling space mission that could finally reveal the true nature of dark matter, an enigmatic substance considered one of science’s greatest unsolved mysteries, a new study reports. Dark matter is about …
Comment this story Comment Towards the end of 2020, as the covid-19 pandemic continued to rage, a few climatologists and energy experts made a prediction. They estimated that emissions from fossil fuels – which had just plummeted thanks to the global pandemic – may never again reach the highs of 2019. Perhaps, they speculated, after …
Scientists thought carbon emissions had peaked. They have never been so high. Read More »
More than 650 scientists are urging world leaders to stop burning trees for energy, as it destroys valuable habitats for wildlife. In the lead up to Cop15, the UN biodiversity summit, they say countries must urgently stop using forest bioenergy to create heat and power, as it undermines international targets in terms of climate and …

Scientists say they have successfully used a quantum computer to “Teleport” messages between two simulated black holes. Quantum computing uses elements of quantum physics to perform operations too complex for traditional computers. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the level of atoms, or smaller. Researchers recently announced that they created two …
