| Sled dogs are closely related to 9,500-year-old 'ancient dog' Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:48 AM PDT Sled dogs are much older and have adapted to Arctic conditions much earlier than previously thought. Researchers show that ancestors of modern sled dogs have worked and lived with humans for over 9,500 years. |
| Monster black hole found in the early universe Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:07 AM PDT Astronomers have discovered the second-most distant quasar ever found. It is the first quasar to receive an indigenous Hawaiian name, Poniua'ena. Data show the supermassive black hole powering Poniua'ena is surprisingly massive, challenging current theories of how supermassive black holes formed and grew in the young universe. |
| Hubble watches the 'flapping' of cosmic bat shadow in the Serpens Nebula Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:07 AM PDT The young star HBC 672 is known by its nickname of Bat Shadow because of its wing-like shadow feature. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has now observed a curious ''flapping'' motion in the shadow of the star's disc for the first time. The star resides in a stellar nursery called the Serpens Nebula, about 1300 light-years away. |
| Black hole collision may have exploded with light Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:25 AM PDT Astronomers have seen what appears to the first light ever detected from a black hole merger. |
| Spider baby boom in a warmer Arctic Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:25 AM PDT Climate change leads to longer growing seasons in the Arctic. A new study shows that predators like wolf spiders respond to the changing conditions and have been able to produce two clutches of offspring during the short Arctic summer. The greater number of spiders may influence the food chains in Greenland. |
| Resident parasites influence appearance, evolution of barn swallows Posted: 24 Jun 2020 12:16 PM PDT Researchers think that local parasites are influencing why barn swallows in Europe, the Middle East and Colorado are choosing their mates differently. Their new research finds that these parasites could be playing an important role in changing the traits displayed to attract mates early in the process of the creation of new species. |
| New spray-on technique allows for any shape touchscreens Posted: 24 Jun 2020 09:04 AM PDT A team has challenged the idea that touchscreens are limited to 2D and rectangular shapes by developing an interactive display that can be sprayed in any shape. Inspired by the way an artist creates graffiti on a wall and using a novel combination of sprayable electronics and 3D printing, the technique, called ProtoSpray, allows the creation of displays on surfaces that go beyond the usual rectangular and 2D shapes. |
| Four new species of giant single-celled organisms discovered on Pacific seafloor Posted: 24 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT Two new genera and four new species of giant, single-celled xenophyophores (protozoans belonging to a group called the foraminifera) were discovered in the deep Pacific Ocean. |
