Black hole genealogy: A new way to discover 'ancestors' of cosmic phenomena
A research team has proposed a new method to reconstruct the "family tree" of black holes. Published in The Astrophysical Journal, this research offers a way to infer the properties of the black hole ...
We might have been completely wrong about the origin of Saturn's rings, new study claims
Computer modeling suggests Saturn's rings are billions of years older than previous research suggests — but the new findings are up for debate.
Dogs demonstrate ability to match voices to familiar humans
Researchers at ELTE Department of Ethology, Hungary designed an experiment to investigate whether dogs can recognize their owners based on pre-recorded speech. The results provided the first evidence ...
Researchers achieve near-unity quantum efficiency in 2D photon emitters
Leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers can perform calculations at lightning-fast speeds, enabling them to solve complex problems faster than conventional computers. In quantum ...
Explaining physical reality: Physicists 'bootstrap' validity of string theory
String theory, conceptualized more than 50 years ago as a framework to explain the formation of matter, remains elusive as a "provable" phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant ...
World's oldest mammalian ancestor discovered in Mallorca
An international research team led by the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) and the Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals (MUCBO | MBCN) have described a fossil animal that lived between ...
Hyperspectral imaging lidar system achieves remote plastic identification
New technology could remotely identify various types of plastics, offering a valuable tool for future monitoring and analysis of oceanic plastic pollution. A new hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar system can remotely detect and identify various types of plastics, which could help address the critical issue of plastic pollution in the ocean by providing better tools for monitoring and analysis.
Physicists 'bootstrap' validity of string theory
String theory remains elusive as a 'provable' phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method that points to its 'inevitability.'
Artemis II Core Stage Moves to High Bay 2 - NASA
In this image from Dec. 11, 2024, the 212-foot-tall SLS (Space Launch System) core stage is lowered into High Bay 2 at the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s
Detailed bedbug genome analysis may improve pesticides
Bedbugs. Just mentioning the tiny, biting insects that live on human blood and infest mattresses, couches, and bedding strikes fear into most people. In addition to the anxiety, itching, and rashes an ...
Mars orbiter spots retired InSight lander to study dust movement
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught a glimpse of the agency's retired InSight lander recently, documenting the accumulation of dust on the spacecraft's solar panels. In the new image taken ...
After accident crash on Mars, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter could live on as a weather station for 20 years
"She still has one final gift for us, which is that she's now going to continue on as a weather station of sorts."
Finding the 'sweet spot': Marine animals save energy by swimming at optimal depths
Researchers from Swansea and Deakin Universities have found that marine animals across mammals, birds and reptiles swim at similar relative depths when traveling and not feeding to save energy.
How old are Saturn's rings? Study suggests they could be 4.5 billion years old just like the planet
New research suggests that Saturn's rings may be older than they look—possibly as old as the planet.
How old are Saturn’s rings? Study suggests they could be 4.5 billion years old just like the planet
New research suggests that Saturn's rings may be older than they look — possibly as old as the planet.
Reprogrammed yeast cells enhance drug delivery precision
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) have developed a novel way to engineer yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to create microbial communities that can perform complex tasks ...
Scientists reveal characteristics of Salmonella dry surface biofilm
Food scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed key characteristics of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella dry surface biofilm (DSB), a previously overlooked type of biofilm ...
Stem cell transplants could save the world's corals, say researchers
Climate change is bleaching and killing off vast amounts of the world's coral due to rising sea temperatures. Dr. Benyamin Rosental of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and his colleagues have proposed ...
