New dark matter theory explains two puzzles in astrophysics
Thought to make up 85% of matter in the universe, dark matter is nonluminous and its nature is not well understood. While normal matter absorbs, reflects, and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, making it harder to detect. A theory call.....»»
Astronomers discover galaxies have bipolar gas outflows reaching far into intergalactic space
Astronomers have observed, for the first time in three dimensions, that gas from spiral galaxies is blown upward and downward at high velocity, far out of the galaxy. The observations confirm the prevailing theory of galaxy evolution that says that s.....»»

New theory claims to unite Einstein"s gravity with quantum mechanics
A radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein's classical concept of spacetime has been announced in two papers published simultaneously by UCL (University College London) physicists......»»
Astronomers spot rare star system with six planets in geometric formation
Astronomers have discovered a star system in which six planets orbit one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance......»»

Two methods for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA
Two teams of bio-researchers have developed similar processes for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA. In their papers, both published in the journal Science, the two groups outline their stop-motion-animation-type p.....»»
Scientists raise alarm as bacteria are linked to mass death of sea sponges weakened by warming Mediterranean
Vibrio bacteria, named for their vibrating swimming motion, span approximately 150 known species. Most Vibrio live in brackish or salt water, either swimming free or living as pathogens or symbionts in fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and corals. Because.....»»
New theory explains how magnetic switchbacks form in the solar wind
A new study develops a theory of how magnetic switchbacks are formed around the sun. This quantitative model can be used to predict magnetic field variations and potentially explain the heating and acceleration of the solar wind......»»
Study suggests nature may have had a hand in shaping Great Sphinx of Giza
A trio of experimental physicists and applied mathematicians at New York University has found evidence that Egypt's Great Sphinx of Giza may have originated as a natural formation. For their study, published in the journal Physical Review Fluids, Sam.....»»
The miraculous effect of music: Concerts bind people together
Why does music exist? Some researchers believe that music is so widespread across human cultures because it brings people together. The theory is that during evolution, human groups who were musical worked better together, and therefore music may hav.....»»
