The modern method of inventing new materials is to make something and then use a computer to find out whether the material turned out well. But what if you turn that around and use generative AI-driven software to design the material in the first place? That’s the premise behind Cambridge, UK-based CuspAI, which has now … Read more
A swirling black hole hiding within the features of the black holes that merged to create it. Credit: Robert Lea Astronomers believe that at the heart of most, if not all, galaxies lies a gigantic black hole with a mass millions or even billions of times greater than that of our Sun. These supermassive black … Read more
An illustration of distant quasar, supermassive, black hole-powered objects that can be used to constrain the parameters of gravity theories. Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser A recent study explored teleparallel gravity and its potential to resolve the tension surrounding the expansion of the universe in a way that general relativity cannot. In the early 20th century, our … Read more
Credit: University of Nottingham Using a specially designed 3D-printed vacuum system, scientists have developed a way to ‘capture’ dark matter with the aim of detecting domain walls. This will be an important step forward in unraveling some of the mysteries of the universe. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics have created a … Read more
Crab Nebula (MIRI and NIRCam image). Credit: ESA/Hubble Information Center A team of scientists used NASA/ESA/CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope to analyze the composition of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. Using the telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infared Instrument) and NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), the team collected data that will … Read more

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

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
