| New study proposes expansion of the universe directly impacts black hole growth Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:04 PM PDT The study is the first to show that both large and small black hole masses can result from a single pathway, wherein the black holes gain mass from the expansion of the universe itself. |
| On ancient Earth, it never rained but it poured Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:04 PM PDT In a new study, researchers found that during epochs of extreme heat -- 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than today -- Earth may have experienced cycles of dryness followed by massive rain storms hundreds of miles wide that could dump more than a foot of rain in a matter of hours. The research not only sheds light on Earth's distant past and far-flung future but may also help to understand the climates of exoplanets orbiting distant stars. |
| A new dimension in magnetism and superconductivity launched Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:08 PM PDT An international team of scientists has launched a new paradigm in magnetism and superconductivity, putting effects of curvature, topology, and 3D geometry into the spotlight of next-decade research. |
| Securing data transfers with relativity Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:01 AM PDT The volume of data transferred is constantly increasing, but the absolute security of these exchanges cannot be guaranteed, as shown by cases of hacking frequently reported in the news. To counter hacking, a team has developed a new system based on the concept of 'zero-knowledge proofs', the security of which is based on the physical principle of relativity: information cannot travel faster than the speed of light. Thus, one of the fundamental principles of modern physics allows for secure data transfer. This system allows users to identify themselves in complete confidentiality without disclosing any personal information, promising applications in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. |
| Gravitational ‘kick’ may explain the strange shape at the center of Andromeda Posted: 03 Nov 2021 08:54 AM PDT A new study dives into the explosive physics of what happens when two supermassive black holes collide. |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 07:50 AM PDT Government action is needed so driverless vehicles can be insured against malicious hacks which could have potentially catastrophic consequences, a study says. |
| ALMA scientists detect signs of water in a galaxy far, far away Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:44 AM PDT Water has been detected in the most massive galaxy in the early Universe. Scientists studying SPT0311-58 found H20, along with carbon monoxide in the galaxy, which is located nearly 12.88 billion light years from Earth. Detection of these two molecules in abundance suggests that the molecular Universe was going strong shortly after the elements were forged in early stars. The new research comprises the most detailed study of molecular gas content of a galaxy in the early Universe to date and the most distant detection of H20 in a regular star-forming galaxy. |
| Hungry caterpillars an underappreciated driver of carbon emissions Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:26 AM PDT A study has found that periodic mass outbreaks of leaf-munching caterpillars can improve the water quality of nearby lakes - but may also increase the lakes' carbon dioxide emissions. |
| A commonly found parasite could treat certain types of cancer, say scientists Posted: 02 Nov 2021 11:06 AM PDT Scientists have discovered that a deadly parasite, known to cause ill health in pregnant women and immunocompromised patients, could potentially be used to treat various types of tumors. |
