| Video Discription | January Time machine: Astrophysicists proposed a theoretical way of building a time machine using Einstein's relativity. Origin of Phosphorus Scientists found the origin of phosphorus, an essential element of life on Earth. Phosphorus was initially formed in star-forming regions and was carried to the Earth by asteroids. Atoms Bonding For the first time, researchers reported a video of atoms bonding and separating. February Lost Mitochondria Scientists from Tel Aviv University reported the discovery of the first animal that has lost its mitochondria. The animal isn't using oxygen to produce its chemical energy. Pale Blue Dot NASA released a new version of the iconic image 'Pale Blue Dot' captured by Voyager 1. Rotation of Earth Scientists reported that 90 million years ago, the Earth rotated 372 times a year. Hence, a day lasted half an hour less than today. The slowdown is due to the tidal effects of the Moon. March Life on Mercury Astronomers said that primitive life forms might have existed in some parts of the planet Mercury. Uranus NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft detected a large atmospheric bubble called plasmoid coming out from Uranus. April Green South Pole Analysis of fossil indicated that rainforests might have existed near the south pole 90 mn years ago. During that time, the climate was hot, with extreme levels of carbon dioxide in the air. Longest Organism Using an underwater robot, Researchers discovered & filmed the longest animal known so far. Found off the coast of Western Australia, it is 50 meters long and is coiled into a spiral form. Fast Radio Burst For the first time, astrophysicists detected Fast Radio Waves (FRBs) from inside the Milky Way. FRBs are milli-second flashes that emit millions of times more energy than the Sun does in a week. May Fastest Internet Speed Computer scientists from Australia achieved, thus far, the fastest internet speed of 44.2 Terabits/sec. At this speed, 1000 high definition movies can be downloaded in a split second. Smallest Sensor Researchers created the world's smallest sensor that contains just 11 atoms. June Alien Civilizations Astronomers found that there are over 30 active communicating intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way. New Particle Particle physicists at the LHC reported discovering a new particle never seen before, the four-charm quark. July The Martian Trio Three countries launched their probes to the Red Planet within a single month: The U.S., China, and UAE. Mapping the Cosmos After 20 years of hard work, astronomers released the most detailed 3-D map of the universe thus far. Astronomers released the most detailed 3-D map of the universe thus far after 20 years of hard work. August The Higgs Decay Particle physicists at CERN observed the Higgs Boson (God Particle) decaying into two muons. Betelgeuse Dimming Astronomers finally found the reason behind the mysterious dimming of the supergiant star Betelgeuse. An immense amount of hot material ejected into space, forming a dust cloud that blocked starlight. September A new type of Black Hole Astrophysicists detected the largest known black hole merger that formed a new kind of black hole. Known as an intermediate-mass black hole, it is about 142 times more massive than the Sun. First extragalactic planet For the first time, astronomers found a planet orbiting a star in another galaxy (the Whirlpool Galaxy). pi Planet Researchers discovered an exoplanet that takes exactly 3.14 days to orbit its parent star - the pi planet. October New Saliva Glands Researchers found a secret set of salivary glands that moisten our upper throat. Touch and Go NASA's OSIRIS-REx successfully picked up samples from Asteroid Bennu and is on its way back. Shortest Time Duration In a quantum experiment, scientists measured the smallest interval of time thus far: 247 zeptoseconds. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second. November Birth of a Magnetar Scientists witnessed the collision of two neutron stars that gave birth to a magnetar. A magnetar is a neutron star with the most powerful magnetic field of all objects in the universe. Source of FRBs Astronomers finally found magnetars to be the source of the FRBs detected in April 2020. December Quantum Supremacy Chinese quantum computer named Jiuzhang became the most powerful quantum computer in the world. It performed a task 100 trillion times faster than a classical computer and achieved quantum supremacy. Ghost Circles Astronomers discovered a new type of object in space: the ORCs (Odd Radio Circles). [StrTubsf2gA] |
