  • ● Thousands of Black Holes Could Be Lurking in Our Backyard—and You Can Help Find Them
    According to stellar evolution models, there should be hundreds of millions of black holes floating around in our galaxy. But so far we’ve only found 70. That’s in large part because they are so hard to find, but a citizen science project from the University of Southampton is actively seeking... Read more »
  • ● Wandering Black Holes May Hold Clues to the Evolution of the Universe
    According to new research, "wandering" black holes may have left an imprint on the Universe as they traveled for billions of years.... Read more »
  • ● Galaxy Evolution Can be Affected by Black Hole Jets
    In recent decades, astronomers have found evidence that supermassive black holes can really mess with their galaxies' evolution. They gobble up material intended for star formation, quenching the birth of stars. Conversely, jets streaming away from those hungry monsters can also energize gas-rich regions and enhance the chances of a... Read more »
  • To Keep GPS Constellations From Drifting, Look To The Moon
    Global Positioning Systems are a key feature in everyday life for much of the world’s population. Whether it’s ensuring a ship delivers its goods safely, or you’re able to avoid a road closure on your commute home, GPS can help. But the system has a weakness - it relies on... Read more »
  • A Buried Volcano on the Moon Hints At An Ancient Lunar Dynamo
    Scientists know for certain the moon doesn’t currently have a magnetosphere. But they’ve been debating for decades about whether it ever did. Data from both Apollo samples and orbital scientific instruments have proven divisive, and so the debate still rages. But a new paper from researchers at ETH Zurich, DLR,... Read more »
  • New Simulations Connect the First Galaxies to the Universe We See Today
    In a recent study, researchers at the international MEGATRON project used some of the most detailed simulations of the early Universe to investigate how the first stars and galaxies formed.... Read more »
  • Chandra X-ray Observatory Drops New View of our Galaxy’s Unruly Centre
    The core of the Milky Way is a dense, active, messy region, dominated by a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) hiding at the heart of the galaxy. But Sgr A* is only a supporting actor in this stunning new image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.... Read more »

  • This Diet May Slow Brain Aging by 2.5 Years, Study Finds
    Image Courtesy: Shutterstock A diet combining elements of the Mediterranean diet with an eating plan designed to lower blood pressure may help slow age-related changes in brain structure, potentially delaying certain signs of brain aging by 2.5 years, according to new research. The study, published online in the Journal of... Read more »
  • A Forgotten 30-Year Forest Experiment Just Delivered A Huge Surprise
    Image Courtesy: Centre for Forest Tree Technology A decades-old forest experiment in Victoria, Australia, has revealed that selectively thinning trees could help forests store substantial amounts of carbon while supporting wildlife and timber production. The findings challenge the long-standing assumption that forests must be left untouched to maximize their ecological... Read more »
  • Scientists Just Discovered This Oklahoma Meteor Crater Is 100 Million Years Younger Than We Thought
    Image Courtesy: Shutterstock Scientists have discovered that a meteorite struck what is now Oklahoma roughly 370 million years ago, nearly 100 million years later than previously believed. The revised timeline changes the crater’s place in Earth’s impact history and could help researchers better understand the causes of ancient mass extinctions.... Read more »
  • Scientists May Have Found a Way to Make Damaged Adult Retinas Repair Themselves
    Image Courtesy: Getty Images Scientists have discovered that gene therapy can do more than restore vision in dogs with an inherited eye condition. The treatment also repaired damaged connections between retinal nerve cells, suggesting that the adult retina may retain a greater ability to rebuild itself than previously believed. The...

  • IBM’s Quantum Computer Solves a Task in 19 Seconds That Could Take a Supercomputer 110 Years
    Image Courtesy: IBM IBM’s latest quantum computing processor has completed a complex computational task in just 19 seconds, a feat researchers estimate could require a leading conventional supercomputer around 110 years to reproduce. The result offers a new demonstration of quantum computing’s potential to outperform classical systems on specific problems.... Read more »
  • McDonald’s Is Using AI To Dynamically Change Burger Prices
    Image Courtesy: Unsplash McDonald’s is reportedly using artificial intelligence to recommend different prices for its menu items based on what customers in individual locations may be willing to pay. The system allows prices to vary between restaurants, potentially leaving customers paying significantly different amounts for identical meals. The pricing platform... Read more »
  • China’s ‘Artificial Sun’ Reactor Passes Halfway Mark as Fusion Power Target Nears
    Image Courtesy: X China has completed more than half of the main reactor assembly for its Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST), a major nuclear fusion project in Hefei, Anhui Province. The facility aims to demonstrate that fusion can generate usable electricity, with power demonstrations targeted for around 2030. The... Read more »
