Support for a "jelly sandwich" model of the Tibetan Plateau
With an area of 2.5 million square kilometers and an altitude that can exceed 4,500 meters, the Tibetan Plateau is the largest and highest plateau on Earth. Although its formation over the past 65 million years is broadly attributed to a collision be.....»»
Tesla pulls its new Full Self-Driving beta due to software issues
The vehicles with the software repeatedly provided Forward Collision Warnings when there was no immediate danger, according to video postings of beta users. Some vehicles also automatically applied brakes without reason......»»
Astronomers may have discovered the first planet outside of our galaxy
Signs of a planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time. This intriguing result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ev.....»»
Bringing new life to ATLAS data
The ATLAS collaboration is breathing new life into its LHC Run 2 dataset, recorded from 2015 to 2018. Physicists will be reprocessing the entire dataset—nearly 18 PB of collision data—using an updated version of the ATLAS offline analysis softwar.....»»
Dwarf galaxy catches even smaller galaxy
Astronomers know that the Milky Way grew by taking in smaller galaxies. But now, a team of Italian-Dutch researchers has shown that a small galaxy neighboring the Milky Way has in turn absorbed an even smaller galaxy from its vicinity. The researcher.....»»
Eufy RoboVac X8 review: When turbine action meets unavoidable collisions
Suction power from twin turbines is wonderful, but collision avoidance is equally just as important......»»
South Korea Targets Apple Over New App Store Regulation
Apple was on a collision course with South Korea on Friday over new requirements that it stop forcing app developers to use its payment systems, with a government official warning of a possible investigation into the iPhone maker's compliance. From a.....»»
Indian scientists explore galaxy cluster Abell 725
Using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), Indian astronomers have conducted radio observations of a galaxy cluster known as Abell 725. Results of this observational campaign deliver important information regarding the structure and morphology.....»»

Something big just hit Jupiter
In 1994, the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacted Jupiter, which had captured the comet shortly before (and broken apart by its gravity). The event became a media circus as it was the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of Sola.....»»
Hear the sounds of space with these Chandra sonifications
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has shared a new way to experience space, with three new "sonifications" which turn visual astronomy data into sounds......»»
Coral reef cover, biodiversity, fish catches have declined by half since the 1950s
Coral reefs around the world are under threat because of climate change, overfishing, pollution, and more. Now, researchers reporting in the journal One Earth on September 17 offer the first comprehensive global look at what these impacts on coral re.....»»

Pulsar timing arrays take us closer to figuring out supermassive black holes
Galaxies host supermassive black holes, which weigh millions to billions times more than the sun. When galaxies collide, pairs of supermassive black holes at their centers also lie on the collision course. It may take millions of years before two bla.....»»
Is it cheaper to be bigger? Lessons from the extreme weapons of giraffe weevil warriors
Nepalese craftsman, Chandra Bahadur Dangi, holds the record as the world's shortest adult, at 54.6 cm (1 ft 9 ½ inches). The tallest human is Sultan Kösen, a Turkish farmer, almost five times taller at 2.52 meters (8 feet 3 ¼ inches). In nature, s.....»»

V404 Cygni: Huge rings around a black hole
This image features a spectacular set of rings around a black hole, captured using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The X-ray images of the giant rings reveal information about dust located in our galaxy, using a s.....»»
Can East Asian monsoon enhancement induce global cooling?
The study of the orogenic effects of the Tibetan Plateau uplift on global climate during the Cenozoic has focused almost exclusively on the India-Asia collision zone, the Himalayas. The strong erosion in the Himalayas was assumed to be a primary driv.....»»
