Scientists Ignited a Thermonuclear Explosion Inside a Supercomputer
Scientists have simulated a thermonuclear explosion inside a supercomputer to gain new insights into neutron stars. Neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of massive stars and are able to undergo thermonuclear burning of accumulated material from a binary companion, emitting powerful X-ray bursts. Previously, simulations of these bursts had only been done in 2D, but […]
The Secret to Anxiety in Young Women’s Brains May Have Been Found
– Adolescence can be a challenging time emotionally, especially for young women who often experience increased anxiety compared to young men. – A recent study examined levels of the neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate in brain regions involved in emotional processing and reasoning. – Higher levels of GABA act to inhibit brain activity, while glutamate stimulates […]
Revolutionizing Wireless Communication: How Tiny Chips Could Transform Medical Technology
– Researchers led by Brown University engineers have developed a novel wireless communication network that can efficiently transmit and receive data from thousands of microelectronic chips, each smaller than a grain of salt. – The sensor network is designed so the chips can be implanted in the body or integrated into wearable devices. Each chip […]
Kanye West isn’t manipulating wife Bianca Censori into skimpy outfits — it’s ‘performance art’

Stunning light shows on Uranus and Saturn may soon draw James Webb Space Telescope’s eye
– Two teams of astronomers from the University of Leicester will use the James Webb Space Telescope to study the auroras on Uranus and Saturn. – On Uranus, the study aims to better understand what causes the planet to be warmer than expected given its distance from the Sun. One theory is that energy from […]
What is the most distant thing we can see?
– The most distant star visible to the naked eye is V762 Cas, located about 16,000 light years away. – Andromeda galaxy is the farthest thing visible to the naked eye, appearing as a fuzzy patch about the size of an outstretched fist over 2.5 million light years away. – Gamma ray bursts can briefly […]

Scientists may finally know why this infamous supernova wears a ‘string of pearls’
Scientists may have discovered how a famous supernova called Supernova 1987A (SN 1987A) came to be adorned by a remarkable “string of pearls” formation of hydrogen clumps around it. SN 1987A is located in a neighboring galaxy of the Milky Way and is around 160,000 light years from Earth. It is surrounded by glowing hydrogen […]
3D map of over 1 million black holes traces where the universe’s dark matter lies
Scientists have created a 3D map of the universe using data on the positions of nearly 1.3 million quasars collected by the Gaia space telescope. Quasars are extremely bright objects that can be seen across vast cosmic distances, making them ideal for mapping the large-scale structure of the universe. Their positions correlate with dense clumps […]
