“Lightsaber” jet extracts energy from the first black hole imaged by humanity
The burst of energy seems to represent the event horizon of the supermassive black hole in M87 extending outwards, suggesting how black holes could “leak” energy.
A big step for little particle accelerators
Scientists build a particle accelerator that fits on a dime, and it works!
The James Webb Space Telescope spots quartz in exoplanet atmosphere
New discovery once again shows how strange planets outside the Solar System can get, and astronomers are thrilled.
New AI-powered device monitors breathing to combat sleep apnea
Sleep apnea patients may soon sleep easier thanks to a comfortable, remote wearable device that tracks breathing patterns with the help of AI.
Bringing aqueous rechargeable zinc iodine batteries to the mainstream energy market
New research aims to improve the stability and safety of alternatives to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries using aqueous zinc and hydrogels.
What will it take to make sodium and potassium batteries viable alternatives to lithium?
Scientists explore the challenges facing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries and suggests a roadmap to overcome these obstacles.
How ocean worlds could redefine the search for alien life
Scientists investigate “hycean” exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres and liquid water oceans, challenging traditional definitions of habitability.
Cosmic explosion is one of the most powerful and rapid blasts ever seen by astronomers
The rare but extreme blast that outshone most supernovas originated two billion light years away and has been classed as a “Luminous Fast Cooler”.
Astronomers observe a galaxy’s magnetic field in the very early Universe
The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
