Phys.org / The most pristine star yet found in the known universe
An unusual team of astronomers used Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) data and observations on the Magellan telescopes at Carnegie Science's Las Campanas Observatory in Chile to discover the most pristine star in the known ...
Phys.org / The secrets of black holes and the Higgs mass could be hidden in a 7-dimensional geometry
One of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, the "black hole information paradox," might have finally found an elegant solution, and the answer could also reveal the origins of the mass of fundamental particles.
Tech Xplore / Wearable robots improve coordination between pairs of violin players
In some settings and when completing some collaborative tasks, humans are required to coordinate their movements or actions with those of others. A clear example of this is musical performance, particularly instances in which ...
Phys.org / Gravity from positivity: Single massive spin-3/2 particle makes gravity logically inevitable, study claims
Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, supersymmetry—emerge as logical necessities whenever a massive spin-3/2 particle exists in nature. Two principles ...
Phys.org / First close pair of supermassive black holes detected
Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are one of the most active fields of research in astronomy. In order to accumulate their enormous masses, they must merge with each other. A research team led by Silke Britzen ...
Medical Xpress / Virus from seafood is linked to a persistent eye disease in humans
A virus that typically infects marine animals, such as shrimp and fish, has jumped to humans and is causing chronic eye disease in some people, according to a study published in the journal Nature Microbiology. In recent ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover Andromeda XXXVI, an ultra-faint dwarf satellite galaxy
By analyzing the data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PandAS), European astronomers have discovered a new satellite of the Andromeda galaxy. The newfound object, which received the designation Andromeda XXXVI, ...
Phys.org / How Jupiter cultivated more large moons than Saturn
The two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, also have the largest satellite systems, or the most moons. At present, Jupiter's reported moon count stands at more than 100 moons, and along with its many ...
Phys.org / How the social lives of magpies shape their call repertoire
Communication is central to the survival of most animals, including humans. Yet animals of different species communicate differently, and the complexity of their communication skills varies greatly. One characteristic of ...
Phys.org / Exploding primordial black holes might have reshaped the early universe, and created all matter as we know it
The early universe is absolutely so far outside our understanding of how the world works it's hard to describe in words. Back then, the cosmos wasn't filled with stars and galaxies but with a boiling soup of quarks and gluons, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers find a third galaxy missing its dark matter, validating a violent cosmic collision theory
Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense gravitational pull, the rotational spins of galaxies would force them to simply fly apart. But now, ...
Phys.org / US plans tariffs up to 100% on some brand-name drugs
The United States is planning new tariffs on some name-brand medicines.
