A meteorite that landed in a sheep field was repeatedly broken and reassembled on its journey through space, according to scientists. The latest analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite suggests that water may have played a role in its violent odyssey.
Monumentálne plátno School of Beauty, School of Culture mení obyčajný salón krásy na miesto, kde sa skladá identita, pamäť aj estetika. Marshall neukladá teóriu do viet, ale do farby, gest a pohľadov. Obraz funguje ako otvorené dvere do komunity, ktorá si krásu netlmočí z cudzieho jazyka, ale hovorí ňou od základu. Všetko je veľké, ale nič nie je preexponované.
Thomas Kinkade, nazývaný „Painter of Light“, sa stal jedným z najúspešnejších a zároveň najkontroverznejších amerických umelcov. Jeho pokojnú, idylickú krajinu na prvý pohľad milovali milióny, no kritika ju označovala za presladenú a prázdnu. Tento článok skúma, ako sa z obyčajného malára stal kultúrny fenomén a čo sa skrývalo za tým lacným obrázkom ideálu.
While 2024 was a year of global upheaval, we saw unprecedented advances in science. From hidden oceans on Saturn's moons to deciphering the brain of a fruit fly, this year's scientific discoveries pushed the boundaries of human knowledge. Some are small steps that could lead to revolution, while others are already major breakthroughs. So what did we learn about the world, life, and the universe in 2024?
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond data and algorithms to understand our emotions. A new trend called deep personalization allows AI to analyze tone of voice, facial expression, and writing style, and then tailor its responses to our current psychological state. We are entering an era where digital tools are not only functional, but also empathetic.
Before your visit to a zoo or safari park, immerse yourself in the world of amazing creatures whose unique characteristics will immediately catch your eye: from the inconspicuous Sumatran tiger to majestic condors to hardy desert tortoises - each of these creatures hides unique surprises worth discovering.
The world is facing another warning signal of the climate crisis. Satellite measurements show that the planet's polar regions are covered in less sea ice than at any time in recorded history. This loss of a natural protective shield that reflects sunlight back into space is accelerating global warming and threatening not only life in the Arctic and Antarctic but also climate stability across the planet.
Were they just flowers? Or symbols of pain, hope, and human fragility? Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers have shone on canvas for more than 130 years—but their true meaning remains shrouded in mystery.
Amidst the coral reefs of Kimbe Bay in Papua New Guinea, an unseen but fascinating struggle for survival takes place. It is not accompanied by attacks or dramatic escapes – but by shrinking the body. Scientists have discovered that clownfish of the species Amphiprion percula During sea heat, they physically change their size. They simply shrink.
It's a surprising evolutionary trick that reveals how sensitive even the smallest marine animals are to rapidly changing climate conditions. And it's proof that in warming oceans, adaptation happens at a microscopic level - centimeters can make the difference between life and death.
As the world faces a growing demand for stable, clean energy – especially for energy-hungry data centers – American startup Fervo Energy is coming up with an ambitious project that could change the rules of the game. The company announced that it has raised $206 million to build a massive geothermal power plant in Utah. When completed, it is expected to be the largest power plant using so-called enhanced geothermal technology in the world.
The first phase of the project, called Cape Station, is expected to start delivering power next year, with a capacity of 100 megawatts. An expansion of another 400 megawatts is planned for 2028 – enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes or run large data centers.
Premium beef with one magic word is appearing on plates around the world: Wagyu. But in an age where you can get a “Wagyu burger” for $5 at a fast food restaurant, the question arises: is it really Wagyu, or just a name without substance?
