☆ China opens the world's deepest and largest underground laboratory 7,800 feet below a mountain to hunt for dark matter

China has just opened the deepest and largest underground laboratory in the world. AdvertisementChina has opened the biggest and deepest underground laboratory in the world in a bid to uncover the secrets of dark matter. That leaves us with one overarching theory; that there is another type of matter acting on the universe, or so-called dark matter. CJPL hosts the Particle and Astrophysical Xenon Experiments (PandaX) and the China Dark Matter Experiment. "There is enough replication already," he said, adding that it may be better to try to find a new approach in the hunt for dark matter.

☆ Astronomers are baffled after spotting strange cosmic flares that have 10 billion times more power than the sun

The event, nicknamed Tasmanian devil, is puzzling scientists who don't know what is causing it. Ho and colleagues' observations suggest the Tasmanian devil released at least 14 irregular and highly energetic bursts, each lasting only a few minutes. This leaves a neutron star or a black hole surrounded by the remnants of a partial star. To produce such brilliant flares, a black hole or neutron star would need a lot of fuel. AdvertisementAnother possibility is that the Tasmanian devil was caused by a star merging with a black hole or a neutron star, said Ho.

A robot created chemicals to make oxygen from Martian rocks. The robot could one day help create human settlements on the red planet. AdvertisementChinese scientists have created a robot chemist that can make oxygen using Martian rocks, bringing humans a step closer to colonizing the red planet. "In the future, humans can establish oxygen factory on Mars with the assistance of AI chemist," said Jiang. NASA's Perseverance Rover recently demonstrated it was able to make oxygen on Mars from carbon dioxide in the air — a very abundant resource.

☆ Scientists uncover a 'bizarre' leggy dinosaur unlike anything seen before, and it could rewrite the history of bird evolution

The 150-million-year-old dinosaur is likely a very early bird ancestor, as old as the Archeopterix. This suggests bird's long legs may have evolved much early than thought. The dinosaur, named Fujianvenator prodigiosus, is thought to be as old the Archaeopteryx, which many consider to be the first bird. AdvertisementAdvertisement"I would put my money on runner," Wang told Reuters. There is still a 30 million-year-long gap in the fossil record between Archeopteryx and Fujianvenator and the next bird fossil on record, which appears in the Cretaceous, the study authors said in a press release.
