Chinese engineers have reportedly built a new 1.5-megawatt “shrinkable” fission nuclear reactor, according to South China Morning Post (SCMP). The team claimed the new reactor could help China in building a nuclear-powered spaceship that could possibly be used for a Mars trip and return journey from the red planet. The scientists designed the new lithium-cooled reactor
While many industries are using the growing trends of artificial intelligence, scientists are taking advantage of it to make new fascinating astronomical discoveries for humankind. Citizen scientists and artificial intelligence collectively discovered a mind-blowing 430,000 new galaxies that spread across the COSMOS. These newly spotted cosmic objects include 30,000 ring galaxies which are identified as
