Scientists have identified 85 previously unknown lakes hidden beneath Antarctica‘s ice using a decade’s worth of satellite data. The newfound lakes are “active,” meaning they periodically drain and refill, changing size and shape over months and years, the researchers said. This subglacial activity affects the stability of glaciers and their grinding movement over the Antarctic bedrock, which in turn could …

IN A NUTSHELL 🕳️ Astronomers discovered a distant quasar, RACS J0320-35, that challenges existing theories of black hole growth. 🌌 The quasar is growing at 2.4 times the Eddington limit, consuming massive amounts of matter. 🔭 Observations suggest that such rapid growth could reshape our understanding of the early universe. 📡 Future research aims to explore similar phenomena to refine …

The nonagenarian actor Dame Joan Collins may have been on to something when she declared “age is just a number”. The deepest dive yet into the biology of a supercentenarian has revealed that even extreme old age can be reached without the brain necessarily faltering or the usual illnesses mounting up. Doctors in Spain conducted a comprehensive suite of tests …

Space missions in the future could travel to Mars, asteroids and the outer solar system by riding on nuclear-powered rockets, thanks to a new design that utilizes energy from the nuclear fission of liquid uranium to heat propellant. The exciting potential of the new technology, which is called a centrifugal nuclear thermal rocket (CNTR), can be neatly summed up by …
