US Space NASA’s new rover InSight has successfully landed on the surface of Mars. The rover will examine the interior of the planet. If everything goes according to plan, Mars will be the second planet after Earth that gets its interior examined this way.
Until now, hoverboards have been found in sci-fi movies only. But while the modern science and technology are here, then why hoverboards should be confined in movies or in imaginary world? However now, Hendo is introducing the world’s first real hoverboard.
Facebook is always trying to improve itself and for this, it never fears to take new challenges. Earlier we have seen Facebook launching many tools. And now, Facebook is launching a new tool called Safety Check that will notify the friends and family members of a user that if he/she is safe during or after any natural disaster.
Every time we hear different kinds of sound. Even ‘silence’ has its own sound, but we can’t hear that. However, scientists know very well that our planet is a source of many unusual sounds. So now, they have decided to record every sound that our Earth makes.
The extinction of dinosaurs 66 million years ago coincides with a huge hail of asteroids hitting the surface of the Earth. While these asteroids didn’t exactly kill all dinosaurs, scientists have found evidence that it led to a ‘nuclear winter’ which in turn rendered dinosaurs extinct.
Earthquakes are fairly hard to predict and when one occurs, it is pretty difficult to gather real-time data on it. However, scientists may soon be able to resolve this problem by relying on smartphones. Researchers claim that in the coming days, smartphones may also be used as earthquake sensors.
It is not unusual for swarms of small earthquakes to precede a volcanic eruption. They can reach a point of such rapid succession that they create a signal called “harmonic tremor” that resembles sound made by various types of musical instruments, though at frequencies much lower than humans can hear. However, a new analysis of an eruption sequence at Alaska’s Redoubt Volcano in March 2009 shows that the harmonic tremor glided to substantially higher frequencies and then stopped abruptly just before six of the eruptions, five of them coming in succession.
Tokyo is situated right above one of the most active seismic sites. Earthquakes keep jolting the city, ranging in their strength from weak to mild to fairly strong. Now, thanks to technology, citizens are able to stay abreast with earthquakes updates, both warnings and real-time discussions.
