Researchers found that dark matter particles play a key role in helping supermassive black holes merge, resolving the “final parsec problem” in astronomy. In 2023, scientists detected gravitational waves from merging black hole pairs. But simulations showed a halt in their approach when about three light years apart, which contradicted theories that these mergers create … Read more

NASA discovered an intriguing rock on Mars, named Cheyava Falls, which may contain signs of ancient life. The rock, found in Jezero Crater, has features suggesting it once had water and could harbor fossilized microbes. Organic compounds and leopard spots, containing iron and phosphate, were detected by the Perseverance rover. Scientists are excited but cautious, … Read more

Researchers at RIKEN and the University of Amsterdam have discovered a potential rule for quantum entanglement similar to entropy, implying its reversibility and potentially simplifying manipulation of quantum systems for advancements in quantum computing. This finding may clarify the nature of quantum entanglement, providing insights into its fundamental connections with thermodynamics. Researchers might consider pondering: … Read more

The Fermi Telescope from NASA has provided new insights about the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, GRB 221009A. Most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) only last for a second and stem from the core of a dead giant star, known as a neutron star. However, scientists are unsure what causes these stars to release massive amounts of … Read more

Scientists have been working on creating cement-free concrete as an alternative to traditional concrete due to its negative environmental impact. Cement production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, leading scientists to explore methods of reducing its use. One successful approach is using steel slag and industrial waste to create low-CO2 additives for concrete-like materials. C-Crete … Read more

New study reveals that the epigenetic state of neurons determines their role in memory formation. Neurons with open chromatin states are more likely to be recruited into memory traces and demonstrate higher electrical activity during learning. Researchers found that manipulating these epigenetic states in mice can enhance or impair learning, shifting focus from synaptic plasticity … Read more

WhatsApp for Windows allows Python and PHP scripts to run without warning when opened. This security issue permits sending these attachments, which execute immediately if all necessary resources are present, bypassing any warnings or blocks. However, Python’s prerequisite is the installation of the software, limiting potential targets to developers, researchers, and power users. Similar vulnerabilities … Read more

A team of researchers funded by NASA has made a breakthrough in hypersonic flow technology, enabling operators to manage airflow at the speed of light during the dangerous “shock train” condition. Shock trains precede engine failure in scramjet engines and now, for the first time, University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science researchers … Read more

Archaeological research at Star Carr in North Yorkshire reveals that ancient hunter-gatherers organized their dwellings into zones for various activities, suggesting a structured domestic life similar to modern homes. A team from the Universities of York and Newcastle analyzed stone tools found inside three structures dating back over 11,000 years, identifying areas for woodworking, butchery, … Read more
