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......»»
Astrophysicists offer theoretical proof of traversable wormholes in the expanding universe
The expansion of the universe at some stage of evolution is well described by the Friedmann model. It was derived from general relativity a hundred years ago, but it is still considered one of the most important and relevant cosmological models......»»
Unlocking the secrets of the universe through neutrinoless double beta decay
The discovery that neutrinos have mass was groundbreaking. However, their absolute mass remains unknown. Neutrinoless double beta decay experiments aim to determine whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles and, if so, provide a means to determin.....»»
Enabling distributed quantum sensors for simultaneous measurements in distant places
A research team has succeeded in implementing a distributed quantum sensor that can measure multiple spatially distributed physical quantities with high precision beyond the standard quantum limit with few resources. Their findings are published in t.....»»
James Webb Space Telescope: Finally, the edge of the universe and beyond
Launched in 2021 on Christmas Day, the James Webb Space Telescope is the most complex, precise and powerful space observatory ever built......»»
Study says ice age could help predict oceans" response to global warming
A team of scientists led by a Tulane University oceanographer has found that deposits deep under the ocean floor reveal a way to measure the ocean oxygen level and its connections with carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere during the last ice age,.....»»
Webb reveals that galaxy mergers are the solution to early universe mystery
One of the key missions of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is to probe the early universe. Now, the unmatched resolution and sensitivity of Webb's NIRCam instrument have revealed, for the first time, what lies in the local environment of.....»»
Webb data suggest many early galaxies were long and thin, not disk-like or spherical
Columbia researchers analyzing images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found that galaxies in the early universe are often flat and elongated, like breadsticks—and are rarely round, like balls of pizza dough......»»
Bandle Tale is unlike anything you’ve seen in the League of Legends universe

Cosmic dawn observational progress with NenuFAR
The NenuFAR Cosmic Dawn project has taken an important step in the exploration of the Cosmic Dawn, this key period in our universe marked by the formation of the first stars. An upper limit on the amplitude of the neutral hydrogen fluctuations at 21.....»»
Microfossils shed light on the long fossil record of euglenoids
Hiding in the shadows, euglenoids are a fascinating group of single-celled protists that are neither plant nor animal. Plants photosynthesize, and animals eat. Euglenoids do both. Spiraling along the murky bottoms of shallow fresh-water ponds with th.....»»
Discovery of second ultra-large structure in distant space further challenges our understanding of the universe
The discovery of a second ultra-large structure in the remote universe has further challenged some of the basic assumptions about cosmology......»»
Gravitational waves could show us the first minute of the universe
Astronomers routinely explore the universe using different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum from the familiar visible light to radio waves and infrared to gamma rays. There is a problem with studying the universe through the electromagneti.....»»
How does Garmin measure stress, and is it really accurate?
Stress can profoundly impact not only your fitness but also your well-being. Find out how Garmin measures stress and whether it's accurate enough to be useful......»»

Input lag vs. response time: which is more important?
Input lag and response time are important for gaming, but how important, and which one is more so? Here's how input lag and response time measure up......»»
Why is the universe ripping itself apart? A new study shows dark energy may be more complicated than we thought
What is the universe made of? This question has driven astronomers for hundreds of years......»»
Astronomers find spark of star birth across billions of years
Astronomers have completed the largest and most detailed study of what triggers stars to form in the universe's biggest galaxies, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. They were surprised to find that the conditions for stellar.....»»
US–Indian satellite will monitor Earth"s changing frozen regions
NISAR, the soon-to-launch radar satellite from NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), will measure some key Earth vital signs, from the health of wetlands to ground deformation by volcanoes to the dynamics of land and sea ice......»»
Astronomers find direct link that supernovae give rise to black holes or neutron stars
Astronomers have found a direct link between the explosive deaths of massive stars and the formation of the most compact and enigmatic objects in the universe—black holes and neutron stars. With the help of the European Southern Observatory's Very.....»»
