Researchers have now identified the first signs of nuclear fission in the cosmos, something that has baffled scientists since the 1950s.

Scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory and North Carolina State University have uncovered compelling evidence of nuclear fission occurring in the cosmos, specifically during the merger of neutron stars. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs and opens a new chapter in our understanding of heavy element formation in the universe.

The robot features eight adjustable water jets in its central and head regions, with a flexible firehose directed by a control unit on a trailing wheeled cart.

Functioning at a rate of 6.6 liters per second, the nozzles expel water with a pressure reaching up to one megapascal. At the tip of the hose, a combination of a traditional camera and a thermal imaging camera is integrated, facilitating the identification and location of the fire. This technological integration enhances the Dragon Firefighter’s firefighting capabilities, according to the team.

“We found that just like in mice, human tears contain a chemical signal that blocks conspecific male aggression. This goes against the notion that emotional tears are uniquely human,” the authors stated.

Overall, the study concluded that the scent of women’s tears might contain chemical signals that can influence men’s behavior by reducing aggressive tendencies.
