[ad_1] -> A new study, published on April 30, 2020 in Science, used an advanced laser Earth observation instrument on board a satellite to make precise and detailed measurements of how the elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets has changed between 2003 and 2019. The study results show …

[ad_1] In an innovative discovery, scientists discovered that the largest and most enigmatic dinosaur species known as Spinosaurus aegyptiacus He was a good swimmer and not the typical inhabitant of the land, which has been debated for a long time. Belonging to the beginning of the 20th century, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus …

[ad_1] Rabat: German-Moroccan paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim has released new evidence that spinosaurus dinosaurs could swim, a controversial theory, using their tails to propel them through the water. Studying the fossil of a “Spinosaurus aegyptiacus” tail that researchers found in eastern Morocco, Ibrahim concluded that the tail was “unequivocal evidence” of …

[ad_1] Army scientists predicted that quantum computer circuits that will no longer need extremely cold temperatures to function could soon become available. Scientists have demonstrated the feasibility of a quantum logic gate composed of photonic circuits and optical crystals. One of the significant drawbacks of quantum systems is the fragility …
