A recent archaeological discovery has shed new light on one of the world’s most iconic monuments: the Great Sphinx of Giza. Discovered by a team of French archaeologists, the findings suggest that the structure was built much earlier than previously thought. Tests on the limestone blocks that make up the structure date it to the 4th millennium BC, over 5,000 years ago. This is over twice as old as previously assumed, and predates the Egyptian civilization by several centuries.

Recently, researchers have been exploring a new type of imaging technology that could revolutionize the way we view the world. This technology, known as non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging, uses longer wavelengths of light that are able to penetrate obstructions such as walls and obstacles. This means that we can now “see” around corners and other obstructions to capture images that were previously impossible to obtain with traditional cameras. This technology is especially useful in surveillance and security, as it enhances the capability of seeing through walls or around corners.

In a new study, an international team of researchers has proposed a new theory that could explain the phenomenon of ‘magnetic switchbacks’ in the solar wind. The team believes that the switchbacks, which occur in the solar wind that flows from the Sun to Earth, are caused by a process known as ‘magnetic reconnection’. Magnetic reconnection is a process by which energy is rapidly released from the magnetic field lines of a magnetic field.

In a breakthrough study, scientists have discovered that a waxy surface is the key to making crops stronger and more resilient. The research, conducted by the University of California, Davis, found that when crops are exposed to a waxy layer, they become more resistant to fungal diseases, pests, and environmental stresses. The team found that the waxy layer acts as a barrier for the plant, protecting it from external agents. Furthermore, they discovered that this layer also improves the plant’s ability to take up water and nutrients.
