Starship rival: Chinese scientists build prototype engine for nuclear-powered spaceship to Mars
When fully deployed in space, the 1.5 megawatt reactor – including its heat sink – could tower as high as a 20-storey building. But on the ground, it will fold neatly into a container-sized volume, weighing less than eight tonnes, the paper said. The design makes the reactor system “easy to load and launch by…

New black hole map depicts ‘largest-ever volume of universe’
New Delhi: Scientists have mapped about 1.3 million of active supermassive black holes in three dimensions, depicting the ‘largest-ever volume of the universe’. As the gravitational pull of these black holes living at the centres of galaxies ‘gobbles up’ nearby gas, the process generates extremely bright disks – called quasars – and sometimes jets of…

‘Light Speed’ Electrons Discovered Moving in 4 Dimensions For The First Time : ScienceAlert
An elusive behavior of electrons has finally been isolated from more mundane electron activity in a real-world material. A team of physicists led by Ryuhei Oka of Ehime University has measured what are known as Dirac electrons in a superconducting polymer called bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene. These are electrons that exist under conditions that effectively make them massless,…

CRISPR co-creator Jennifer Doudna on how gene editing can tackle antibiotic resistance crisis
Around 10 million. That’s the number of lives forecasters believe we will lose each year by 2050 as bacteria develop defenses against the drugs we use to fight infections. Tackling antibiotic resistance, though, is hard. “It is a complex phenomenon,” says Professor Jennifer Doudna, founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute at UC Berkeley. “It’s not a…
