This year (2026), Earth is closest to the Sun on Saturday, 3rd January. This specific point in the Earth's orbit is called perihelion. The point in Earth's orbit at which the Sun is farthest from […] The post When is the Earth closest to the sun? appeared first on Science Experiments for Kids. Show less

This new sensor can detect dark matter, what even telescopes can’t see.

Read more Common diabetes drugs may do more than regulate blood sugar—they could also influence how cancers grow, spread, or slow down. Researchers are now unraveling how these medications affect immune function, inflammation, and tumor biology, with intriguing but still uncertain implications. Show less

Read more In their book Getting Real, 37signals talk about Open Doors — the idea that you should give customers access to their data through RSS feeds and APIs. Let them get their information when they want it, how they want it. Open up and good things happen. Fizzy takes that seriously. When 37signals released Fizzy with its full git history available, they didn’t just open-source the code — they shipped a complete API and webhook system too. The doors were wide open baby! So I dove in — reading the source, building tools, and sharing what I found. Every time curiosity kicked in, there was a direct path from “I wonder if…” to something I could actually try and execute. This post is a catch-all for my very bubbly month of December. Show less

Read more A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By transferring minute amounts of energy between light and gravity, the interaction would leave behind faint but detectable fingerprints. The setup resembles advanced gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO, but pushes them further into quantum territory. Success could hint at the long-sought quantum nature of gravity. Show less

However, it has not been clear how p53 can slow blood vessel growth in some cases and damage blood vessels in others. Show less
