Scientists have long tried to explain the origin of a mysterious, large and anomalously cold region of the sky. In 2015, they came close to figuring it out as a study showed it to be a “supervoid” in which the density of galaxies is much lower than it is in the rest of the universe. However, other studies haven’t managed to replicate the result.
Low energy efficiency is already a major problem for petrol and diesel vehicles. Typically, only 20% of the overall well-to-wheel energy is actually used to power these vehicles. The other 80% is lost through oil extraction, refinement, transport, evaporation, and engine heat. This low energy efficiency is the primary reason why fossil fuel vehicles are emissions-intensive, and relatively expensive to run.
The brain has always been a fascinating subject to scientists, as countless studies are done each year. However, how the brain works exactly mostly remains a mystery to this day. In this article professor of electrical engineering and bioengineering, Salvatore Domenic Morgera explains his insights and views on one particular conundrum within the enigma that is our brain, namely the relationship between the brain’s physical structure and its functionality.
We are currently experiencing unique circumstances. Never before has such a diverse group of people (rich, poor, old, young, happy, unhappy, healthy, unhealthy male, female, etc.) been confronted with a prolonged deficit of physical contact. What are the effects of this phenomenon on our mental well being? Researchers aim to answer this question in a new study.
