Magnetic Confinement of an Ultracold Neutral Plasma
Physicists from Rice University have discovered a way of containing magnetic bottles of the world’s coldest plasma. This research advancement could promote renewable energy, space weather and astrophysics research. ‘If we want to learn how Solar Winds interact with the earth or produce renewable energy, we must understand that plasma, a broth of electrons and […]

LASCHAMPS EXCURSION: Mass extinctions 42,000 years ago
The Laschamp event was a geomagnetic excursion (a short reversal of the Earth’s magnetic field). It occurred 41,400 years ago, during the end of the Last Glacial Period. It is known from geomagnetic anomalies discovered in the 1960s in the Laschamps lava flows in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Cooper and his team created an exactly dated carbon 14 record from […]
WHY DOES EARTH HAVE PLATE TECTONICS AND CONTINENTS?
Our planet was very different some 250 million years ago from what it looks like today. Earth is the only planet that has plate tectonics because no other world has a surface divided into plates. Planet earth is constantly changing. Earth’s crust (lithosphere) consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates. Even imagine these plates […]
The Artificial “Brain” reveals why we can’t believe our eyes always
-By Nikita Vijay Biliye Human eyes allow us to judge moving objects with an accuracy that allows us to catch a ball thrown at us, estimate depth or decide the safety to cross the road. However, there are many aspects of human motion perception that are still not understood. The researchers at the University of […]
