MOND vs. Dark Matter: Research suggests that the rotation curves of galaxies remain flat indefinitely

by

The main technique Mistele used in his research, gravitational lensing, is a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity. As part of the research, Mistele plotted the so-called Tully-Fisher relationship on a map to highlight the empirical relationship between a galaxy’s visible mass and its rotation rate. In a discovery that challenges conventional understanding … Read more

New research shows that birds of prey use a unique air sac to fly over long distances

by

Large birds of prey such as falcons, ospreys, eagles and vultures can remain aloft, glide along rising air currents and fly over tens of thousands of kilometers while barely fluttering. Scientists and laypeople alike – fascinated by this feat – have wondered for centuries how they accomplished it. Now an international team of researchers … Read more

Groundbreaking research reveals a link between obesity, inflammation and aging

by
SciTechDaily

CNIO researchers have found that cells signaling that they contain excess nutrients can lead to organ malfunction and inflammation, potentially accelerating aging. Using animal models and comparisons with human blood samples, they have shown that targeting inflammation can alleviate the symptoms of aging and extend life, with implications for understanding diseases associated with aging and … Read more
