Researchers from the Toyohashi University of Technology has come up with a new technique, called Vacuum Extinguish Method (VEM), for a novel fire extinguisher in space. The basic idea of VEM is completely opposite to what we get with standard fire extinguishers, which spray different extinguishing agents into the firing point. It uses a vacuum…
Scientists have figured out the likely trigger for the three ice ages, which occurred in the last 540 million years. The term ‘Ice Age’ refers to a period during which global temperatures fall drastically to produce extensive glaciers and ice sheets that stretch well beyond their polar caps. According to a recent study, tectonics in…
In order to simulate the potential conditions on Hot Jupiters, researchers at NASA are cooking up an alien atmosphere on Earth. The advancement of technology has enabled humanity to explore different sections of our universe. For the sake of improving the understanding of our surroundings, scientists are expanding their research in every direction. The search…
According to a recent study, the carbon levels on Earth may reach the levels observed during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in fewer than 5 generations. PETM is a global warming event that took place around 56 million years ago and is the last major greenhouse event known to humanity. Researchers found that humans are…
The asteroid/comet impact, which took place 66 million years ago, definitely reignited the Indian volcanoes but their role in dinosaur extinction is still not clear. A recent study, published in the journal ‘Science’, adds even more strength to the idea that the massive volcanic eruptions in India were reignited by the asteroid which smashed into…
An international team of researchers discovers that the Greenland Ice Sheet is doing some serious damage to the environment. Methane is the simplest alkane with four atoms of Hydrogen surrounding a central atom of Carbon. It is one of the important greenhouse gases and plays a significant role in causing ‘Global Warming’. According to an…
Chang’e 4 Mission touched down the mysterious side of the moon. China is the latest addition to the list of countries which have visited the natural satellite of our planet. The Chang’e 4 Mission achieved this feat on 3rd January 2019. What made this event more special is that the spacecraft landed on the far…
The climatic destruction of Venus offers a great example to take a lead from and we need to mold our ways immediately to preserve our planet. The recent studies at NASA suggest that about 2 billion years ago, Venus was once a habitable planet with shallow, liquid-water oceans and a habitable surface. Contrary to that,…
Catalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide can help us control the Greenhouse Effect. Greenhouse gases, like Carbon Dioxide, are the most dominant contributor to environmental pollution. These gases are spewed into our atmosphere on a regular basis from heavy industry, motor vehicles, and power plants. Considering the harmful effects of these gases, a lot of efforts…
According to a recent study, Bitcoins are doing some serious damage to the environment. There is no doubt that the Bitcoin has the potential to revolutionize the process making transactions. Having said that, it also poses a serious threat to the environment. In a recent report, researchers indicated the fundamental flaw in its design which…
The future missions to Mars get a massive lead about where to send the rovers to search for signs of life. Mars is the most popular candidate when it comes to finding an alternative habitat for humanity. The idea of making humans a multi-planetary species has grown widely in the recent past and different space…
The effects of climate change might appear well before the expected time. Climate change is probably one of the biggest challenges humanity faces in this modern world. A lot of human activities are playing an active role in this devastating change. The term ‘Global Warming’ is used to refer to these human-induced changes. The situation…
The conditions for life surviving on planets, entirely covered in water, are more fluid than previously thought, opening up the possibility that water worlds could be habitable. Scientists thought that planets covered in a deep ocean would not support life assuming the absence of cycling of the minerals and gases keeping Earth’s climate stable. A…
Deep Space Missions are not easy by any stretch of the imagination. The number of space missions is increasing quite rapidly these days following the idea of finding signs of life in other parts of the universe. For now, most of the missions are unmanned but this might change pretty soon because the astronomers want…
The natural mechanisms that keep the Earth cool might reverse their working if we don’t control the increment in temperature on an emergency basis. Climate change due to global warming is making Earth hotter every day and scientists worry that human activity is pushing our planet towards a horrible end at an extremely rapid rate.…
Latest research clearly signifies that the presence and quantity of heat-producing elements is a much better indicator to judge a planet’s potential to sustain life than the tectonic plates. The climate of Earth is becoming more and more hostile towards life and experts are worried that we need to find an alternative habitat for humanity…
Scientists have a new theory about the air-conditioning system of the Earth. Climate change (Global Warming) is one of the biggest worries of humanity these days as it is literally endangering the future of our species. Ironically, humans themselves have contributed the most in bringing these changes in climate. Experts from all parts of the…
Comets might have Molecular Oxygen stored in them for as long as 4.5 billion years. Rosetta team stick to their idea that traces found inside Coma came from within 67P. Molecular Oxygen is an essential commodity for life on Earth and that’s the reason why it is considered a sign while searching for life in…
Marine Organisms could go extinct in the coming years if industrial emissions of Carbon Dioxide are not controlled on an emergency basis. Climate change is inflicting disastrous effects on Earth in several ways. One of the most dangerous among them is the rapid increment in the levels of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere. As a…
Elon Musk wants to create two blinking suns in the Martian sky to warm the planet and melt the dry ice to release Carbon Dioxide. The passion of Elon Musk to populate the red planet with humans is immense and he has talked about it openly to the public. One of the occasions which prove…
170 countries signed a deal to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from the shipping industry. Climate Change is arguably the most important issue humanity face today as it has the potential to destroy the planet and wipe away all signs of life. A lot of international forums acknowledge that and various policies are being…
Multimillion-dollar Satellite will detect fumes of Earth-warming Methane from space with pinpoint accuracy. Global Warming is a massive threat to the mankind that is acknowledged across the globe. Industrial advancements and Deforestation have made a devastating impact on the carbon cycle. This lead to carbon imbalance which has the potential to burn the Earth up…
Keeping our surroundings clean is an integral part of our nature and it keeps us healthy. Similarly, Nature has certain rights which need to be fulfilled in order to keep human life sustainable.
