Scientists have developed a technique to create 3D models of cosmic structures using polarized radio light data. This method offers new insights into phenomena like relativistic jets and black holes, challenging traditional 2D observations and aiding fut
The James Webb Telescope found ancient quasars powered by massive black holes from 13 billion years ago in isolated regions, challenging growth theories. Their rapid formation with limited surrounding material raises questions about black hole evolution
A new screw-driven robot prototype can autonomously navigate and mine rocky planets like Mars using Archimedean screws, ideal for challenging surfaces like sand and snow. Developed with EU support, it holds potential for extraterrestrial mining missions.
Astronomers found 52 binaries of main-sequence stars and white dwarfs in open clusters using AI and Gaia data. These systems reveal the common-envelope phase, crucial for studying stellar evolution, supernovae, and gravitational waves.
Historians believe the earliest version of tennis was invented by the ancient Egyptians, but they didn’t use rackets. Instead, they struck the ball with the palm of their hand (called the “rahat”), which was said to have been the origin of the word
A new study revises the Drake Equation, considering cosmic expansion's role in creating conditions for life. Researchers propose adding parameters for dark energy and multiverse possibilities, suggesting that varying cosmic conditions might influence li
Sharks don't have bones. They are a special type of fish known as "elasmobranchs", which translates into fish made of cartilaginous tissues. Even though sharks don't have bones, they still can fossilize. As most sharks age, they deposit calcium salts
