Jupiter destroyed solar system’s young planets, scientists say
Jupiter’s large orbital journey across the early solar system may have cleared the way for the oddball arrangement of our planetary system, scientists say, even to the point of destroying burgeoning young planets.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology created a model for the formation of Jupiter and Saturn, dubbed ‘Grand Tack,’ which shows Jupiter’s migration towards...
Dinosaurs fit middle of metabolic continuum
A research has shown that dinosaurs’ metabolism places them in the middle of the metabolic continuum, forbidding their definite classification as either warm or cold-blooded creatures.
The study used dinosaurs’ body mass and their growth rates to arrive at an evaluation of their metabolism.
University of New Mexico biologist John Grady said, “…By examining animal growth and rates of energy...
US scientist shows on microscope how beautiful snowflakes are
Fascination: Kenneth Libbrecht, Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology, has been studying snowflakes, ice patterns, crystal growth and ice formations since 1997
We are often told that every snowflake is different – but the naked eye is simply not advanced enough to appreciate the world’s favourite form of precipitation.
But even without a white Christmas this year,...
US scientists create free-swimming Artificial Jellyfish
Researchers from Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have turned inanimate silicone and living cardiac muscle cells into a freely swimming jellyfish.
Published in Nature Biotechnology on July 22, the method used for producing the tissue-engineered jellyfish has been dubbed ‘Medusoid.’
Jellyfish propel themselves by pumping, US researchers therefore focused on...
