Astronomers have discovered that black holes trigger the formation of galactic winds that greatly influence star formation.
Matter of science: Dialectics and the laws of nature
In this third and final article in a series on philosophy and science, we look at how modern science shows the validity of dialectical processes and how this can help guide science.
Gliese 12 b: An exo-Venus with Earth-like temperatures
Orbiting a cool, red dwarf star, Gliese 12 b offers insight into atmosphere retention near stars, sparking new questions about habitability.
Black hole morsels could make Hawking radiation detectable with current telescopes
During the tumultuous mergers of black holes, smaller black holes called morsels could produce detectable Hawking radiation.
Magnetic fields from the beginning of time may resolve the Hubble tension
By adding primordial magnetic fields to the Standard Model, researchers may solve the mystery of the Universe’s expansion.
Saving a dark matter theory from a quantum tunneling flaw
Tiny interactions between dark matter particles may resolve discrepancies between theory and astronomical observations caused by quantum tunneling.
Exploring quantum gravity with a simple pendulum experiment
Even tiny deviations in pendulum behavior caused by quantum gravity could be clearly noticeable, say researchers.
Could AI be the reason we haven’t encountered alien civilizations?
A sensational paper argues that AI could be responsible for the scarcity of advanced technological civilizations in the Universe.
Hidden dark matter stars and where to find them
While dark matter’s enigmatic nature persists, Proca stars made of dark photons could help shed light on this cosmic mystery.
