Do Undermount Sinks Have Faucet Holes? | All You Need To Know
When upgrading your kitchen, the kitchen sink faucet is as important as the backsplashes and appliances. As you must know, the primary task of a kitchen sink faucet is to dispense water to carry out a variety of chores uninterruptedly. So, installi.....»»
East coast mussel shells are becoming more porous in warming waters
Researchers at the American Museum of Natural History have found that over the last 120 years, the porosity—or small-scale holes—in mussel shells along the East Coast of the United States has increased, potentially due to warming waters. The stud.....»»
Understanding climate warming impacts on carbon release from the tundra
The warming climate shifts the dynamics of tundra environments and makes them release trapped carbon, according to a new study published in Nature. These changes could transform tundras from carbon sinks into carbon sources, exacerbating the effects.....»»
Chemical reactions can scramble quantum information as well as black holes
If you were to throw a message in a bottle into a black hole, all of the information in it, down to the quantum level, would become completely scrambled. Because in black holes this scrambling happens as quickly and thoroughly as quantum mechanics al.....»»
Researchers demonstrate that forests trap airborne microplastics, acting as terrestrial sinks
A research group led by Japan Women's University finds that airborne microplastics adsorb to the epicuticular wax on the surface of forest canopy leaves, and that forests may act as terrestrial sinks for airborne microplastics......»»
Sleeping supermassive black holes awakened briefly by shredded stars
A new investigation into an obscure class of galaxies known as Compact Symmetric Objects, or CSOs, has revealed that these objects are not entirely what they seem. CSOs are active galaxies that host supermassive black holes at their cores. Out of the.....»»
Largest-ever map of universe"s active supermassive black holes released
Astronomers have charted the largest-ever volume of the universe with a new map of active supermassive black holes living at the centers of galaxies. Called quasars, the gas-gobbling black holes are, ironically, some of the universe's brightest objec.....»»
The top 5 astronomical discoveries of all time (so far)
From Eratosthenes' circumference to black holes, we've learned a lot about the cosmos. Enlarge (credit: Aurich Lawson | Getty Images) We’ve managed to discover quite a lot about our Universe from our relatively limited.....»»
“You a—holes”: Court docs reveal Epic CEO’s anger at Steam’s 30% fees
Unearthed emails show the fury that helped motivate Epic's Games Store launch. Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney. (credit: Epic Games) Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has long been an outspoken opponent of what he sees as Valv.....»»
Geologists find that low-relief mountain ranges are the largest carbon sinks
For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20° Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such stable temperatures, Earth must have a 'thermostat' that regu.....»»
"Baby quasars": James Webb Space Telescope spots little giants in the deep past
The James Webb Space Telescope has made one of the most unexpected findings within its first year of service: A high number of faint little red dots in the distant universe could change the way we understand the genesis of supermassive black holes......»»
What makes black holes grow and new stars form? Machine learning helps solve the mystery
When they are active, supermassive black holes play a crucial role in the way galaxies evolve. Until now, growth was thought to be triggered by the violent collision of two galaxies followed by their merger; however, new research led by the Universit.....»»
Astronomers measure heaviest black hole pair ever found
Using archival data from the Gemini North telescope, a team of astronomers has measured the heaviest pair of supermassive black holes ever found. The merging of two supermassive black holes is a phenomenon that has long been predicted, though never o.....»»

Measuring exciton "holes": Insights into charge transfer at atomically thin interfaces between semiconductors
Semiconductors are ubiquitous in modern technology, working to either enable or prevent the flow of electricity. In order to understand the potential of two-dimensional semiconductors for future computer and photovoltaic technologies, researchers fro.....»»
Which came first: Black holes or galaxies?
Black holes not only existed at the dawn of time, they birthed new stars and supercharged galaxy formation, a new analysis of James Webb Space Telescope data suggests......»»
Influencing factors and contribution rates of oxygen concentration over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau recalculated
In a study published in the journal Science China Earth Sciences, a research team conducted joint observations of ecosystem oxygen production and carbon sinks and near-surface atmospheric oxygen concentrations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and meteo.....»»
A black hole has cleared out its neighborhood
We can't see them directly, but we know they're there. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) likely dwell at the center of every large galaxy. Their overwhelming gravity draws material toward them, where it collects in an accretion disk, waiting its turn.....»»
Searching in infrared finds a big collection of black hole star destruction
Many cases of black holes destroying stars were hidden behind dust. Enlarge (credit: NRAO/AUI/NSF/NASA) Virtually anything in space could be a potential meal for a supermassive black hole, and that includes entire stars......»»
New findings from JWST: How black holes switched from creating to quenching stars
Astronomers have long sought to understand the early universe, and thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a critical piece of the puzzle has emerged. The telescope's infrared detecting "eyes" have spotted an array of small, red dots, identi.....»»
Dark matter might help explain how supermassive black holes can merge
Although the exact nature of dark matter continues to elude astronomers, we have gained some understanding of its general physical properties. We know how it clusters around galaxies, how it makes up much of the matter in the universe, and even how i.....»»
