Are we alone? For a moment on August 15, 1977, it certainly looked like the answer might be no. That night the Big Ear radio observatory at the Ohio State University was blasted by a remarkably intense transmission from the sky. Lasting at least 72 seconds and coming in on an extremely specific frequency, it
Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Recap: Back in 1977, a unique radio signal from deep space got astronomers all riled up about the possibility of first contact with intelligent aliens. It all began when astronomer Jerry Ehman stumbled upon a startlingly intense burst of radio waves
In recent years, there have been several attempts at building a hydrogen boat . But UK startup Drift is navigating new territory with a vessel that isn’t hydrogen-powered, but hydrogen- producing . Drift is developing an autonomous yacht capable of making green hydrogen at sea. It could offer a quicker, more efficient way to produce
The green hydrogen plant, which is an equal joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, will produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free fuel daily when fully operational at the end of 2026. August 23, 2024 Sergio Matalucci NEOM Green Hydrogen Company ( NGHC ) has announced a “recruitment drive” for the construction

The Neanderthal groups that inhabited a cave in what is now Spain approximately 46,000 years ago gathered and collected fossils, according to a paper published in the journal Quaternary. Marine fossils from Prado Vargas Cave, Spain. Image credit: Ruiz et al., doi: 10.3390/quat7040049. Collecting is a form of leisure, and even a passion, consisting of
This coverage is made possible through a partnership between Grist and WBEZ , a public radio station serving the Chicago metropolitan region. The U.S. Department of Energy is rolling out the first installment of its $1 billion commitment to ramp up clean hydrogen production in the Midwest, part of a bid by the Biden administration

New research by scientists from the University of Reading and the University of Durham shows that encephalization (i.e., relative brain size increase) across 7 million years of hominin evolution arose from increases within individual species. Modern humans, Neanderthals, and other recent relatives on the human family tree evolved bigger brains much more rapidly than earlier
