Special techniques to study ripples in the universe may have helped researchers solve an age-old mystery. Statistical modeling methods developed to study gravitational waves have been used to predict the structure of a broken piece of a millennia-old artifact, according to a new paper in The Horological Journal. These techniques allowed researchers to determine how … Read more
NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above Earth. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean aliens are about to strike. Using an imaging instrument called Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts discovered strange X and C shapes, appearing at surprising times in the most surprising places. The researchers found that … Read more
A groundbreaking treatment uses nutrient-based nanomedicines to reactivate dormant metabolic pathways in cancer cells, effectively halting the growth of melanomas. This new method could transform cancer treatment by combining tyrosine nanocells with laser therapy to rapidly eradicate cancer and prevent its recurrence. Reactivating dormant metabolic pathways in cancer cells may help fight cancer. An international … Read more
VLITE 340 MHz image of GLIMPSE-C01 from February 27, 2021. The clean beam is shown as a white ellipse in the lower left corner and has dimensions of 5 0 × 4 7 with a position angle of 52°. The cross indicates the central position of GLIMPSE-C01. The dashed white circle shows the core radius … Read more
The 2025 BMW M5 represents an evolution for one of the auto industry’s most revered high-performance sedans. Entering its seventh generation, this iteration introduces a hybrid system that pairs a 4.4-liter V8 engine with an electric motor to produce 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. Channeled through an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and the … Read more

Nanoscale solutes with only small differences in size can be separated by membranes with identical pores – if they have enough opportunities to try. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory. Imagine a basketball game that comes down to the last shot. The chance of the ball going through the hoop may be quite small, but it would … Read more
When irradiated with infrared light, certain molecules, such as metal phthalocyanines, vibrate and generate small, local magnetic fields. Researchers have calculated these effects and want to experimentally prove and manipulate these fields for possible applications in quantum computing. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Physicists at TU Graz have determined that certain molecules can be stimulated by pulses of … Read more
This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected to the divertor plasma region via the so-called final confinement surface. The long and thin lobes fluctuate in time and space.
