Those who were vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus but also those who did not observed that the vaccination was done in the shoulder. Specifically, in a shoulder muscle called the deltoid. Why do we get vaccinated in the shoulder with the Covid-19 vaccine? At this point you are probably asking yourself what’s so special about …

A little girl born on October 26, 2020 in the American state of Tennessee entered the history books after she was born from an embryo that underwent a cryogenic process 28 years ago. Molly Everette Gibson’s embryo was cryogenized on October 14, 1992 and was stored in a liquid nitrogen tank until February 2020. This …

C-section born children have a 33% higher risk of having autism disorder and 17% of ADHD, according to a research that combined 61 studies across 19 countries. The statistical analysis, which was recently published in the JAMA Network Open, does not show that caesarean section directly causes such medical problems. Other factors that have led …
The inner core of the Earth or the nucleus, which is a solid iron ball larger than Pluto, could be younger than previously thought. This is the conclusion of a study published Monday, suggesting that 565 million years ago it had not yet begun its consolidation. Since its existence was discovered, back in 1936, the age of …
Chinese researchers have obtained the first cotton seed that were germinated on the moon. This a success of one of the experiments of the Chang’e 4 probe. The Chang’e 4 probe has succeeded in landing on the hidden face of the Earth’s satellite by setting a premiere in the history of space exploration. According to the …

A long winter and record low temperatures could be felt in space, NASA warns. A space agency researcher says the sunspot activity is extremely low, which will record record temperatures in space. However, the Earth’s climate will not be affected. “We are seeing a cooling trend,” said Martin Mlynczak of the Langley Research Center, NASA. He added …
A feather coming from the tail of a bird that lived about 100 million years ago was discovered in an amber by a team of scientists from China and Canada. Unlike most of the tail feathers found in compression fossils, the amber has up to three-dimensional structure and contains more information. The feather dates back …

New experiments presented in Nature magazine seem to show that this substance composed of a single layer of carbon atoms can transform electronic signals transmitted in gigahertz into higher frequency signals. We are talking about terahertz, capable of carrying up to 1,000 times more information per second. Electromagnetic waves in the terahertz range are notoriously …

National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Sunspot, New Mexico, was shut down by FBI agents earlier this month (September 2018) due to security concerns, but the facility was reopened later on. Even so, many of us are wondering what are the reasons behind this action. At present, the solar observatory no longer represents a security issue, …

Bioengineering scientists working to produce the entire human gastrointestinal system in the laboratory reported that pluripotent stem cells were used to create a human esophagus. This is the first time scientists have been able to grow human pluripotent stem cell (PSC) esophageal tissue, cells that theoretically can form any type of body tissue. Published in …
