These massive stars could explain Webb’s strangest galaxies
A University of Utah survey using the Hubble Space Telescope is examining massive stars in metal-poor galaxies to understand how they may have influenced the early universe, offering insights into unexpectedly complex galaxies detected by James Webb.
“We just need to go back” – Uranus’ moon Ariel may have hidden a 100-mile-deep ocean
Research suggests Uranus’ moon Ariel may once have harbored a subsurface ocean exceeding 100 miles deep, with evidence pointing to a dramatically more eccentric orbit in the past.
Scientists find two tiny new snails with shells that close like doors
Scientists have identified two previously unknown snail species in Montenegro’s mountains. Both feature distinctive shells that seal closed like doors when the animals retreat inside.
Distant time crystals can somehow fall into the same rhythm
Physicists discovered that multiple time crystals in a semiconductor can synchronize their oscillations across distances exceeding 40 micrometers, despite not being directly connected.
When what you see doesn’t make sense, your brain does something remarkable
New research shows the brain resolves visual conflicts by allowing different cortical regions to compare interpretations until reaching a consistent picture through a consensus-building mechanism.
‘Very messy eaters’: scientists solve the mystery of when black holes ‘burp’
Scientists have identified when black holes release powerful jets of material into space by studying 20 instances of stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes using radio telescopes.
There are still nearly pristine coral reefs. They’re a blueprint for coral restoration
Pristine coral reefs at Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific Ocean are providing researchers with insights into reef recovery and restoration strategies applicable worldwide, despite emerging climate threats.
The Arctic sea ice melt season grew longer for decades, but something strange happened around 2010
Arctic sea ice melt season lengthened dramatically for decades but plateaued around 2010, extending roughly 40 days compared to 1979 levels, according to a NASA study.
These tropical trees breathe at night to survive drought
Researchers discovered that tropical Clusia trees evolved water-efficient nighttime photosynthesis through ancient genome duplications and reorganizations, with different species using this strategy in varying ways.
These massive stars could explain Webb’s strangest galaxies
Astronomers are using the Hubble Space Telescope to study massive stars in nearby dwarf galaxies that resemble early universe conditions, potentially explaining unusual features of distant galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
“We just need to go back” – Uranus’ moon Ariel may have hidden a 100-mile-deep ocean
Research suggests Uranus’ moon Ariel may once have harbored a subsurface ocean exceeding 100 miles deep, based on analysis of the moon’s fractured surface and tidal stress patterns.
Scientists find two tiny new snails with shells that close like doors
Two newly identified snail species from Montenegro’s mountains have been described in a scientific journal. Both species feature unusual characteristics including eyes positioned on the sides of their heads and shell-closing mechanisms.
Distant time crystals can somehow fall into the same rhythm
Physicists demonstrated that multiple time crystals in a semiconductor can synchronize their oscillations across distances greater than 1,000 times their individual size through spin-coupled mechanisms.
When what you see doesn’t make sense, your brain does something remarkable
New research reveals the brain may resolve visual conflicts by comparing interpretations across different brain regions until a consistent picture emerges through a consensus-building mechanism.
Indonesian foragers may have sucked on mind-altering nuts 25,000 years ago, research finds
Archaeological evidence from ancient Indonesian skeletons suggests foragers sucked on psychoactive betel nuts as far back as 25,000 years ago, potentially marking the earliest known human drug use.
UK mathematician debunks myth around Parthenon’s optical illusions
A UK mathematician challenges the long-held belief that the Parthenon’s architectural features were designed to correct optical illusions, finding little evidence to support the 2,000-year-old claim.
‘Very messy eaters’: scientists solve the mystery of when black holes ‘burp’
Scientists have identified when black holes release powerful jets after consuming stars, finding they occur at two specific phases of the feeding cycle regardless of the black hole’s size.
When did grey squirrels start posing a threat to reds in the UK?
Red squirrel populations in the UK have dropped from 3.5 million to under 300,000, largely due to competition from grey squirrels introduced from North America in the 19th century.
Poison suspected in deaths of ten lions in game reserve in Tanzania
Ten lions have been found dead in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with wildlife officials suspecting poisoning as the cause and launching an investigation.
Haze-choked Indonesia records more than 170,000 respiratory cases
Indonesia has recorded over 175,000 respiratory illness cases since August amid ongoing wildfires that have blanketed the region in toxic smog, with more than 40,000 cases involving young children.
Scientists say a critical Atlantic Ocean current is weakening and the effects could be global
A critical Atlantic Ocean circulation system has been weakening over nearly two decades, potentially affecting weather patterns, rainfall, storms, and sea levels globally, according to new research.
