Using the shadows of clusters to measure the universe
Astronomers have begun using a sophisticated suite of simulations, an advanced machine learning model of the formation of galaxy clusters, and an exotic relationship between galaxies to understand the origins of dark matter and dark energy......»»
Micro-sized polyethylene particles show adverse effects in cell lines
Exposure to high doses of micro-sized polyethylene has adverse effects on cells, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland finds. The researchers investigated the toxicity of micro-sized polyethylene in two different human colorectal cancer.....»»
Astronomers begin to understand strange "backsplash" galaxies
Clusters of galaxies do not appear in an instant. Instead they gradually form through the accumulation of many galaxies. But when galaxies fall in they don't just stop moving. Instead, they keep moving around. These are called backsplash galaxies, an.....»»
A true view of infant star clusters
Super star clusters (SSCs) are dense clusters of bright young stars. As they evolve their intense radiation can clear gas and dust from their region. But as they are forming the region around them is still undisturbed. Because of dense gas and dust s.....»»
Researchers study size, distribution and densities of intergalactic hydrogen clouds
Galaxies are often surrounded by a halo of hydrogen gas. Over time a galaxy can lose this halo, which streams off into the intergalactic medium. As a result, there can be clouds of hydrogen among the clusters of galaxies in the universe, with a milli.....»»
