Morals are key to consumer views on lab-grown meat, study finds
People's moral values could limit their uptake of lab-grown meat, a study suggests. People who say living a natural life is morally important to them are more likely to reject lab-grown meat—also known as cultured or cultivated meat—than those wh.....»»
Researchers reveal parsec-scale radio emission properties of dual AGNs by multi-phase-center VLBI observations
Galaxy mergers play a crucial role in the cosmological evolution of galaxies. During galaxy merging, tidal torques can trigger the accretion and feedback of the central black holes in merging galaxies, forming dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs)......»»
