SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY NEWS #2
Hey All, Welcome back today we are going to discuss about ongoing science and technology news, this blog could be a little bit lengthier than the normal one and you all will enjoy it for sure. So, let's get started without further delays:
1. Asteroid Over 70 Feet in Diameter to Fly By Earth on Tuesday, NASA Says: you may heard of this news or not but i would be sure that all science freaks on twitter know this one because of this:

Now, All the readers must know that NASA estimates the asteroid's relative speed at around 8.16 kilometres per second.
2. Musk says that Neuralink implants are close to ready for human testing: Yes, you read it right. On Friday, Elon Musk gave an update on what's probably his third-most prominent company: Neuralink. Neuralink had been pretty low profile (especially in comparison to Tesla and SpaceX) prior to this time last year, which is when Musk first went into detail about the company's goal and progress. And the goals were striking: a mass-market brain implant that could be installed by a robot via same day surgery.
With this year's update, little has changed about the overall plan, but plenty of little details have been tweaked in the intervening 12 months. And progress has been made, in that Musk introduced his audience to a group of pigs who were already carrying what he suggested was version 0.9 of his implants, with human testing set to follow shortly. About the price he said that "We would like the price drop to several thousand dollars. It will include the implant and the surgery."
3. Japanese Company Showcases Working Prototype of 'Flying Car' in a Video: Japanese company SkyDrive has released a video of the first successful trial of its "flying-car" prototype, which resembles a single seat motorcycle fitted with eight propellers on four vestigial wings. The footage shows the futuristic "car" carrying a pilot several meters above the ground, hovering and moving in different directions for around four minutes.
For whole video you can refer to this link: SkyDrive
Actually the problem for this flying car is only its flying time(commercial perspective) due to which developers indicate that the flight time of the vechile can be increased to 30 minutes, whcih would make the product viable for the market. But, except it there are other issues that must be addressed, howeve, such as battery size, air traffic control and the necessity for infrastructure. SkyDrive hopes to resolve those issues and make the"car" market-ready by 2023.
4. 16 hours ago Sputnik news presented a article saying "Water Was 'Most Likely' Brought to Earth by Meteorites, New Study Claims": Article goes like this "The water on Earth showed up gratitude to enstatite chondrites, asserts new examination led by French researchers and distributed on 28 August in the diary Science. It is accepted that water was brought to Earth by space rocks or comets that originated from a remote place, with carbonaceous chondrites being the most probable applicant. This class of shooting stars is plentiful in hydrous minerals. Nonetheless, there is one minuscule issue with this theory. The substance sythesis of carbonaceous chondrites doesn't coordinate that of the Earth's stones.
Enstatite chondrites,a sort of shooting star, then again, appear to be an ideal match as they have comparative oxygen, titanium, and calcium isotopes to Earth, but since they shaped near the Sun, researchers recently thought they were too dry to even consider containing hydrous minerals that could have delivered such huge water repositories on Earth. However, it turns out they weren't right.
Laurette Piani and her associates from the CRPG, the French National Center for Scientific Research, and the University of Lorraine analyzed enstatite chondrites, which are very uncommon and make up just two percent of known shooting stars, and found that they contain enough hydrogen to give Earth water - multiple times the measure of water presently in our planet's Oceans.
"We found the hydrogen isotopic structure of enstatite chondrites to be like the one of the water put away in the earthbound mantle", said Laurette Piani, contrasting it with a DNA coordinate.
As per the discoveries of the examination, researchers don't bar that other divine bodies could have carried life to Earth, yet note that enstatite chondrites contributed most to making our planet look the manner in which it does well at this point." well yeah, this is hell of a interesting article.
Meteorites claimed to gift water to Earth
5. Russia Presents Device That Detects Toxins, Pathogens including Covid-19 in Air in Matter of Seconds: Russia's KMZ plant, working in cooperation with the Gamaleya Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology that developed the world's first coronavirus vaccine, has presented its latest product a device capable of detecting a wide array of toxins as well as 86 types of pathogens, including the COVID-19 virus, by analysing the air.
While the device, dubbes "Detector-Bio", is far from being as compact and versatile as the fictional Smellmaster 9000 from the 1990's film Richie Rich, it is capable of detecting the presence of hazardous substances, bacteria, and viruses within a matter of 10 to 15 seconds. After detecting something, the Detector-Bio proceeds to analyse the sample to determine precisely what type of toxin or pathogen has been found in the air, with this task taking between 60 and 90 minutes.
6. There's a Theory Beyond Relativity That Would Allow You to Fly Through a Wormhole: MATT WILLIAMS, UNIVERSE TODAY shared this article which tells us about how popular wormhole is why? because it's a popular feature in science fiction, like you may heard or viewed that scene in which spacecraft can achieve faster-than-light(FTL) travel and instantaneously move from one point in spacetime to another.
So, The point is The General Theory Of Relativity forbids the existence of "traversable wormholes", research has shown that they are actually possible within the domain of quantum physics.
The only downsides are that they would actually take longer to traverse than normal space and/or likely be microscopic.
In a new study performed by a pair of Ivy League scientists, the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model could mean that there are wormholes out there that are not only large enough to be traversable, but entirely safe for human travelers looking to get from point A to point B.
There are many theories on paper roaming around the travelling of human in wormholes or bridges in space time like einstein-rosen bridges etc. so we'll get onto that some other day.
7. We finally know how cold the last ice age was: Researchers have nailed down the temperature of the last ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum of 20,000 years ago, to about 46 degrees Fahrenheit--7.77 degrees Celsius.
What happens after finding it? Their findings allow climate scientists to better understand the relationship between today's rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide-a major greenhouse gas-and average global temperature.
The Last Glacial Maximum, or LGM, was a frigid period when huge glaciers covered about half of North America, Europe, and South America, and many parts of Asia, while flora and fauna that were adapted to the cold thrived.
"We have a lot of data about this time period because it has been studied for so long,"says Jessica Tierney, associate professor in the geosciences department at the University of Arizona and lead author of the paper in Nature.
"But one question science has long wanted answers to is simple: How cold was the ice age?"
The answer to this question is simple but yet complex: For context Researchers said that the average global temperature of the 20th century was 14 degrees Celsius (57 F)
"This much temperature might not look as low as some huge minus values but, in fact, it's a huge change,"Tierney says.
8. Coronavirus Update: SO, let's have a look at india's update during these days the conditions are very worse and the data i am providing is affiliated to a link which is already inserted inside the data just long click to know more:
