We have turned our ears to space in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations. We have listened, we have waited, and so far, we have not heard anything. Perhaps no one is there. Or perhaps we’re just not listening in the right way. That is what Arjun Berera and Jaime Calderón-Figueroa from the University of Edinburgh suggest. They propose that messages traveling through space could make use of the quantum nature of light. The researchers explored this…
UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, have been a source of fascination and mystery for many people for decades. Some people believe that UFOs are evidence of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth, while others are more skeptical and look for natural or human-made explanations. But how can science help us understand UFO sightings? What are some of the possible causes and effects of these phenomena? One of the first steps in investigating UFO sightings is to collect…

This period ended around 3.8 billion years ago. On the moon, this tumultuous time left behind a heavily cratered face, and a cracked and porous crust. Now MIT scientists have found that the porosity of the moon’s crust, reaching…
