Astronomers detect weird ‘heartbeat’ pulse of radio waves
Astronomers have discovered a weird periodic fast radio burst coming from billions of light-years away......»»
Innovative model offers new way for astronomers to analyze powerful space explosions
Astrophysical explosions are, to give a few examples, driven by the collapse of the iron core of a massive star (known as a core-collapse supernova), the consumption of spaghettified stellar remains by a massive black hole (known as a tidal disruptio.....»»
Astronomers discover one of the fastest-spinning stars in the universe
A new study by DTU Space researchers has revealed a neutron star that rotates around its axis at an extremely high speed. It spins 716 times per second, making it one of the fastest-spinning objects ever observed......»»
Observations explore the properties of giant spiral galaxy UGC 2885
Astronomers have employed the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) to perform comprehensive multiwavelength observations of a large and massive spiral galaxy known as UGC 2885. Results of the observational campaign, published October 21 on the pre-p.....»»
AI algorithm accurately detects heart disease in dogs
Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm to accurately detect heart murmurs in dogs, one of the main indicators of cardiac disease, which affects a large proportion of some smaller breeds such as King Charles Spaniels......»»

Search results for dark photon leptonic decays manage to exclude new regions
Dark photons are hypothetical particles that resemble light particles (i.e., photons), but interact weakly with normal matter, which would make them impossible or very difficult to detect using conventional experimental methods. These particles are d.....»»
Teachers try a different preschool curriculum to prevent youth crime—checking in 20 years later, it worked
There's been an increased political and media focus recently on so-called youth crime waves, particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory......»»
Astronomers take a close look at a dandelion-shaped supernova and zombie star
In 1181, a new star shone near the Cassiopeia constellation for six months before disappearing. This event, recorded as a "guest star" by Chinese and Japanese observers almost a millennium ago, has puzzled astronomers for centuries. It is one of a fe.....»»
Astronomers discover a bright pulse that may be a fast radio burst
Searching for pulsars using the Large Phased Array (LPA) radio telescope, Russian astronomers have detected a bright pulse at a frequency of 111 MHz, which appears to be a fast radio burst event. The finding was reported in a research paper published.....»»
River flow responses to heat waves may change more rapidly under climate change, research finds
A pair of studies by researchers in Simon Fraser University's School of Environmental Science examine how climate change could alter the way Canadian rivers respond to extreme heat events......»»
How bioacoustics and AI can help study animal populations in the forest and beneath the waves
Animal sounds combined with artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize biodiversity monitoring both on land and in aquatic settings according to researchers from the University of Copenhagen. By analyzing wildlife sounds, AI can now identify spec.....»»
EyeSight may be weird, but it’s a step toward solving a key Vision Pro problem
EyeSight is undoubtedly one of the weirdest features of the Vision Pro. But it’s also, arguably, one of its most important for solving a key problem with the headset. Here’s why. more….....»»
Cranium Detect AI accelerates AI governance
Cranium launched Detect AI, an AI discovery tool at scale. With this launch, Cranium is extending its platform capabilities to include visibility and access across an organization’s AI instances, which enables security and compliance teams to u.....»»
Seismic anisotropy in the deep mantle could partly be derived from the deformation of hydrous phase D
Shear waves split into fast and slow waves when they travel through elastically anisotropic media, and the anisotropy of the seismic velocity is recorded by seismic stations. In the Earth's deep interior, this is usually interpreted as the effect of.....»»
Internet fiber optic cables successfully detect shock waves from a rockslide
On the night of 16 June 2023, about 1.2 million cubic meters of rock rumbled down into the valley near Brienz (GR). A team from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and ETH Zurich tracked the event using an unusual.....»»
NASA reveals prototype telescope for gravitational wave observatory
NASA has revealed the first look at a full-scale prototype for six telescopes that will enable, in the next decade, the space-based detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by merging black holes and other cosmic sources......»»
