IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Astronomers discovered the Midpoint cloud, a vast structure within the Milky Way, revealing new insights into star formation. 🔭 The Green Bank Telescope was instrumental in identifying this Giant Molecular Cloud located in an underexplored region of the galaxy. 🌠 The cloud’s dense gas clumps and masers indicate active star-forming regions, contributing to our understanding of …

A fresh look at early members of our lineage suggests that males and females were not built alike. The size gap was wide, and it likely shaped daily life in ways we do not see in people today. That conclusion comes from a new comparison of two classic Pliocene species that many readers know by name, but not by their …

A team at the University of Virginia has developed a monoclonal antibody to stop sepsis, the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals. There is good news from Virginia when it comes to the deadly infection sepsis. “This is truly a groundbreaking discovery,” said Jianjie Ma, a professor in the department of surgery at the University of Virginia. “Sepsis is …

CHRONIC PAIN wrecks the lives of more than 600m people around the world. One in five adults struggles with it. What causes it, however, is often a mystery. The prevailing hypothesis is that, after an injury, something goes wrong with the body’s pain receptors and the alarm system that reports injuries to the brain keeps ringing long after the body …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a pattern in galactic rotations. 🌀 Around 60% of ancient galaxies rotate clockwise, challenging previous assumptions of randomness. 🌌 The hypothesis suggests our universe might be within a massive black hole, redefining cosmic principles. 🔍 Observational bias, such as the Doppler effect, is considered an alternative explanation for …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a pattern in galactic rotations, challenging previous beliefs. 🌀 Approximately 60% of ancient galaxies rotate clockwise, suggesting a potential cosmic order. 🌌 A hypothesis proposes that the universe might be within a black hole, altering our understanding of cosmology. 🔍 Alternative explanations include potential observational bias, highlighting the …

NASA’s Curiosity rover, after years of navigating the rugged terrain of Mars, has recently reached a rare and highly stable location in Gale Crater. This new position is considered one of the most secure and advantageous spots since the rover’s landing, allowing mission scientists to plan operations with exceptional precision and minimal risk to the vehicle. The discovery was detailed …

In a groundbreaking exploration, scientists have unearthed a chilling yet fascinating discovery in the depths of the Red Sea: massive brine pools functioning as natural “killing zones” for marine life. These pockets of hypersaline, oxygen-deprived water lie thousands of feet beneath the surface and are lethal to any creature that stumbles into them. However, despite their deadly nature, these pools …

A galaxy billions of light-years across space-time has puzzled scientists since its discovery more than 50 years ago. PKS 1424+240 is a blazar, with a hugely active black hole in its center blasting powerful jets of plasma out into intergalactic space. To qualify as a blazar, a galaxy has to be oriented in a very specific way – with one of …
