IN A NUTSHELL 🔭 Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope found a non-random rotational pattern in 263 ancient galaxies. 🌀 About 60% of these galaxies rotate clockwise, challenging previous beliefs about cosmic randomness. 🌌 The discovery has led to a hypothesis that the universe might be within a massive black hole, prompting a reevaluation of cosmic principles. 🔍 Alternative …

Sign up for the Starts With a Bang newsletter Travel the universe with Dr. Ethan Siegel as he answers the biggest questions of all. The most fundamental of all the sciences is physics, as it seeks to describe all of nature in the simplest, most irreducible terms possible. Both the contents of the Universe, as well as the laws that …

Landing on another body in the Solar System is a tough business. Despite many successful touchdowns throughout history, spacecraft sent to land on the lunar surface still regularly fail in the final moments. Meanwhile on Mars, the Spirit rover sent by NASA became stuck in the planet’s soft sand after its wheels broke through a crust. A new study suggests …

When a multimillion-dollar extraterrestrial vehicle gets stuck in soft sand or gravel — as did the Mars rover Spirit in 2009 — Earth-based engineers take over like a virtual tow truck, issuing a series of commands that move its wheels or reverse its course in a delicate, time-consuming effort to free it and continue its exploratory mission. While Spirit remained …

Real reason behind wrinkles The idea that skin folds only because you get older or spend too many summers on the beach is too simple. A new set of experiments from Binghamton University shows that wrinkles form when the living fabric of your skin starts behaving like a stretched piece of ‘silly putty’. Using strips of real human skin from …

Scientists equipped with giant lasers have blown up gold at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, heating it to 14 times its melting point. For a chilling second, they thought they broke physics, but they fortunately did no such thing. That said, they broke something else: a decades-long model in physical chemistry having to do with the fundamental properties of matter. In …
