Phys.org / 'Fingerprints' of black hole's event horizon detected for first time
Scientists have detected the "fingerprints" of a black hole's event horizon—the boundary from which nothing can escape—for the first time, according to research published Wednesday.
Phys.org / Primate evolution kept aging rates stable for 25 million years despite lifespan gaps
Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifespans.
Phys.org / The bond between humans and dogs remains remarkably consistent across societies, cross-cultural study reveals
A new study by an international research team led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig) has revealed striking similarities in the way humans and dogs interact ...
Medical Xpress / Large MRI analysis uncovers brain-region thinning tied to depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, a loss of interest in everyday activities, altered sleeping and/or eating patterns, low energy, and difficulty concentrating ...
Phys.org / New millisecond pulsar discovered with the Murchison Widefield Array
Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar as part of the ongoing Southern-sky MWA Rapid Two-metre (SMART) survey. The discovery is reported in a research paper published ...
Phys.org / Coastal and estuarine carbon removal technique may backfire when pushed too far
Scientists investigating a proposed way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using seawater have found that adding too much alkalinity to neutralize acids can trigger chemical reactions that undermine the process.
Phys.org / May 2024 superstorm drew most ring current ions from Earth, not solar wind, research reveals
In May 2024, auroras were observed at unusually low latitudes across the globe, lighting up skies that rarely see such displays. Inside Earth's magnetosphere, the region of space surrounding our planet and dominated by its ...
Phys.org / Horizon edge states gain finite description in string theory calculation
Modern physics theories highlight the key role of horizons—boundaries beyond which information cannot reach an observer—in a variety of cosmological and gravitational phenomena. Two renowned examples of these boundaries are ...
Phys.org / Swiss glaciers facing drastic loss from heat wave: Expert
Swiss glaciers are set to lose an enormous amount of ice due to the heat wave battering Europe, the head of Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) told AFP.
Phys.org / A 'direct wave' from colliding black holes reveals signature of a whirlpool in spacetime
Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, but they aren't always silent. When two black holes are close enough to each other, they spiral toward one another, eventually crashing in an enormous explosion ...
Phys.org / What are supermassive black holes? Everything you need to know about these mysterious objects
Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for the galaxy they're found ...
Phys.org / Peptide alternative to antibiotics could combat antimicrobial resistance crisis
A University of Alberta research team has designed a promising alternative for treating antimicrobial-resistant infections, a pressing global health issue. In a paper recently published in Cell Biomaterials, the team describes ...
