JWST directly imaged four exoplanets 130 lightyears away.

How about "vaccines work"?

Nuclear fusion is becoming a reality with recent runs increasingly outputting more energy than input. It's not a scientific discovery, but it is a great technological advance.

I don't know what beats unlimited green energy, so that's my top one.

Modern fusion research is definitely neat. Any idea what the Q value was for that last JET test? The article didn't say.

Would you be interested in starting a fusion community on Lemmy, perhaps !fusion@futurology.today?

The green stuff on Exoplanet's landmass in ones with liquid water bodies, cuz they're glimpse of Extraterrestrial life

AI designed to detect communication have confirmed once and for all that dolphins have experience with language, with a dictionary of their communications currently in progress. Probably was the reasoning behind the most fun question serial that was touched upon by the Q&A community before, you know, the initiator was banned from it for verifiably untrue reasons and had to pass the torch. RIP our own little Dr. Dolittle.

Hello,

Would you have another source for the research rather than a tiktokTikTok video without links and with one comment ?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

There are so many. The question isn't where are the sources at this point, it's where aren't they? I would encourage looking it up even if only for that reason.

Didn't we recently have a 20 minute conversation with a whale by playing back recorded messages?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah, we recorded it using its species' greeting system and it went out of its way to come to the researchers to say hi.
