Science. It’s truly extraordinary… A subject that evolves as the world does. You can’t beat that, can you?
Pioneering breakthroughs which change the way we live, and help us understand the world and ourselves better, happen all the time.
That’s why today we want to celebrate some of the latest discoveries pushing the frontiers of science. Oh my word, that’s exciting!
Science Facts to Blow Your Mind
- Neuroscientists have discovered how to ‘see memories’ in the brain – both good and bad ones. As this technology evolves, it might be possible to rewrite negative memories. What a breakthrough for mental health that would be?
- Talking of frontiers, the fastest supercomputer on the planet has been designed – costing an eye-watering $600 million. Nicknamed Frontier, it’s to be used to solve the world’s biggest scientific challenges. The speedier the better!
- Known for being big hearted peeps here at 121 Home Tutors, it’s incredible to know that a miniature replica of a living heart has been engineered in the States. Able to mimic how the heart works, this device the size of a postage stamp will surely pioneer heart disease cures, helping people live longer.
- Not just for Hollywood movies, but NASA scientists are working hard on ensuring our planet stays in tact in case an asteroid heads our way. Recently, NASA did indeed smash a spacecraft into an asteroid altering its orbit. This potentially means that us mere Earthlings now have the technology to protect the Earth from an apocalyptic asteroid strike. Fabulous!
- And to a major scientific highlight, who can forget the first round of images transmitted from the James Webb Space Telescope? Who knows, maybe it will discover new life on other planets? Discover more about it here.
