A hidden tectonic fault in Canada’s Yukon could be gearing up to unleash a major earthquake of at least magnitude 7.5, according to a new study. The Tintina fault, which runs from northeastern British Columbia through to central Alaska, has been quietly accumulating strain for at least 12,000 years. Previously thought to be relatively benign, new analysis suggests it’s still …

Supersonic commercial travel could soon be coming to the U.S. following a new executive order lifting a 52-year ban on overland commercial supersonic flights. While supersonic flights could cross the Atlantic, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) banned overland commercial supersonic flights in 1973 in response to public pressure over noise concerns. The new executive order, issued on June 6, …

Famous American writer Isaac Asimov once said, “There is an art to science, and science in art.” A new study proves this quote right by highlighting a never-before-seen connection between Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting “The Starry Night” and quantum physics. The main focus of the study is the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI), an effect observed in the everyday world when …

In a remarkable discovery following recent flooding, ancient dinosaur footprints that had been hidden beneath layers of Texas soil for millions of years were revealed. According to a report from ABC News, the tracks were uncovered in Northwest Travis County, Texas, after floodwaters swept away sediment and brush, bringing the prints to light. This unprecedented find allows paleontologists to gain …

A bold new step for humanity could be a journey not to the Moon or Mars, but to an entirely new star system. This is the Chrysalis Project, an award-winning design for a hypothetical starship that could carry up to 2,400 people to Alpha Centauri—our closest stellar neighbor.  The ultimate goal would be to reach and settle on the potentially …

White dwarfs are remnants of main sequence stars like our Sun that have depleted their hydrogen. Their lives of fusion have come to an end, and they’ll simmer with residual heat for trillions of years. Their lifespans are longer than the current age of the Universe. White dwarfs are fascinating objects for several reasons. About 97% of stars will become …

Tom Hanks has shared a tribute to James A. Lovell, the astronaut he portrayed in the 1995 feature “Apollo 13.” Lovell died Thursday at the age of 97. The film, directed by Ron Howard, starred Hanks as Lovell and dramatized the Apollo 13 lunar mission, which faced an explosion after launching and forced NASA scientists to improvise solutions to return …

A four-legged robot tested under simulated Martian gravity jumps from wall to wall in a new video, demonstrating how future explorers could navigate terrain too challenging for today’s rovers. Designed for use in low-gravity environments like on the moon and Mars, the four-legged robot, named Olympus, uses “double” limbs with jointed knees and paw-like feet for agile movement. At the …
