Ariane 6 is the newest rocket in a series that has, for five decades, been launching Europe towards the stars. Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European. Guaranteeing Europe’s access to space for the next years, Ariane 6 in two versions, with […]

El grupo de expertos de la Cátedra de Otoacústica Evolutiva y Paleoantropología de HM Hospitales y la UAH y arqueólogos de la Universitat de València han encontrado un pequeño fragmento del oído derecho de un individuo que sobrevivió hasta los 6 años gracias a la ayuda de su especie a pesar de su sordera y vértigo […]

In 1974, paleoanthropologist Don Johanson and student Tom Gray unearthed a 40% complete skeleton of an early human ancestor, fundamentally changing the human family tree. The specimen acquired a nickname that persisted: Lucy, after the Beatles song playing at the fossil hunter’s camp–“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” At 3.2 million years old, some thought […]

In 1990, fossil collectors in South Dakota stumbled across a dinosaur that turned out to be a really big deal. Not just because it was a T. rex – basically the most popular dino out there – or because it ended up in Chicago’s famous Field Museum… but because of the number of bones it […]

For debris objects bigger than 10 cm the data come from the US Space Surveillance Catalogue. The information about debris objects smaller than 10 cm is based on a statistical model by ESA. Number of space debris objects in orbit: Bigger than 1m: 5 400 objects Bigger than 10 cm: 34 000 objects (among them […]

Un nuevo género de Abelisaurido ha sido publicado por parte del proyecto «El fin de la era de los dinosaurios en Patagonia» que previamente había presentado a Titanomachya. – Este terópodo de la Provincia de Chubut, de la Patagonia Argentina fue encontrado en la misma región fosiliferas donde previamente fue encontrado Carnotaurus – El nombre […]

We are what we are because of genes; we are who we are because of memes. Philosopher Daniel Dennett muses on an idea put forward by Richard Dawkins in 1976.Ever wondered where the word ‘meme’ comes from? Philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett explains the term, coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The […]

Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we’ve spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did […]

The future is coming, whether we’re ready or not. Physicist Sean Carroll, planetary scientist Nina Lanza, and futurist Kevin Kelly are three brilliant minds who have spent their careers studying how time has affected the Earth — and Kmele is on a mission to understand their findings. Part of understanding what we know includes identifying […]

Humanity has two giant collisions to thank for its existence, explains biologist Sean B. Carroll. When an asteroid landed on the Yucatan peninsula 66 million years ago, it turned our planet into a debris field of chemicals that, eventually, fostered human life. Sean B. Carroll, author and esteemed biologist, unpacks the consequences of this collision, […]

Have you ever considered the possibility of transferring your consciousness into a computer? Sabine Hossenfelder, a German theoretical physicist, believes that this may one day be possible. According to Hossenfelder, the fundamental laws of physics as described in the standard model of particle physics can explain everything in the universe, including human consciousness. She suggests […]
