New Superconducting Material Could, Lead to Revolutionary Advancements.
'The Independent' reports that scientists
have revealed a newly-discovered
material that could change the world. .
The superconducting material works at both
a temperature and pressure that makes
it applicable in practical situations.
Most notably, the new material is able
to transmit electricity with no resistance.
It could save up to
200 million megawatt hours
currently lost via resistance.
The discovery could also lead to breakthroughs
in fusion technology, a process which
could unlock unlimited energy.
The team claims the new material could
be applied to developing new types of
high-speed transit and medical equipment.
The discovery is detailed in a paper
titled, 'Evidence of near-ambient
superconductivity in a N-doped lutetium hydride.'.
It was published in
the journal 'Nature.'.
'The Independent' reports that the new
material's nickname, "reddmatter," is
a nod to a material in 'Star Trek.'.
A pathway to superconducting consumer
electronics, energy transfer lines,
transportation, and significant
improvements of magnetic confinement
for fusion are now a reality, Ranga Dias, scientist and lead author, via 'The Independent'.

the modern superconducting era, Ranga Dias, scientist and lead author, via 'The Independent'

Egyptologists Uncover , Hidden Corridor Within , the Great Pyramid of Giza.
'The Independent' reports that a 30-foot-long
hidden corridor has been discovered near
the main entrance of the Great Pyramid of Giza. .
On March 2, Egyptian officials said
the mysterious tunnel found in the 4,500-year-old
megalith could lead to further findings. .
Located above the main entrance, the tunnel was detected
as part of a scanning project using non-invasive infrared
thermography to 'see' inside the ancient pyramid.
Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities, said the corridor was likely meant
to redistribute the pyramid's massive weight.
Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities, said the corridor was likely meant
to redistribute the pyramid's massive weight.
We’re going to continue our scanning
so we will see what we can do ... to figure
out what we can find out beneath it,
or just by the end of this corridor, Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council
of Antiquities, via 'The Independent'.
According to an article published in 'Nature,'
the discovery may yield knowledge
regarding the construction of the pyramid.
The discovery could also shed light on
the purpose of a gabled limestone structure
built just outside of the corridor.
The Pharaoh Khufu, otherwise known as Cheops,
who reigned around 2560 B.C., is credited with
the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Towering over Giza, the pyramid stands 479 feet
tall and was the tallest structure built by humans
until construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.
The massive monument
is also the last surviving
wonder of the ancient world. .
'The Independent' reports that experts remain divided over the construction of Egypt's pyramids. New discoveries are often
of great interest to both scholars and the public.

Two Massive Earthquakes , Kill Over 2,000, in Turkey and Syria.
'The Independent' reports that two massive earthquakes
have killed an estimated 2,300 people and wounded
thousands of others in Turkey and Syria. .
Experts warn that the death toll
is likely to rise as search
and rescue efforts continue.
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck near the city of
Gaziantep, leaving many trapped below rubble before
a second 7.5 magnitude tremor struck just hours later.
Authorities said
that 1,498 thousand people were
killed across ten Turkish provinces. .
In neighboring Syria, authorities declared over
430 people killed and at least another 380 killed
in the country's rebel-held northwest.
According to natural hazards expert Dr. Steven Godby,
the vulnerability of the population combined with
winter conditions could make rescue efforts difficult.
Unfortunately the death toll
is likely to climb quickly, Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'.
The first 24-48 hours is when most people
are normally rescued in this situations,
but the cold weather may reduce that time. , Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'.
The challenge is further compounded
by the fact that there are already large
numbers of displaced people in northern
Syria as a result of the civil war, Dr. Steven Godby, Natural hazards expert, via 'The Independent'.
Dozens of governments around the world have already
pledged their support, including rescue teams, funds
or other means of aid in response to the disaster.

Previously, Smaine had written on Instagram that
he had traveled to Japan to take advantage
of "unbelievable snow quality.".
This is what brings me
back to Japan each winter, Kyle Smaine, via Instagram.
Smaine had added that Japan had , “really fun terrain that seems to get
better [the] more exploring you do”.
In 2015, Smaine won gold in the halfpipe
at the FIS Freestyle Ski and
Snowboarding World Championships.

On January 29, Smaine was in
Nagano Prefecture on Honshu Island
when the avalanche occurred.
According to Nagano police, as many as five people from the U.S. and Austria were caught in the avalanche, which occurred on the eastern side of Mount Hakuba Norikura.
Authorities said that of the five men skiing on the mountain,
