NEW YORK — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about one millisecond, could shed light on one of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena ever studied. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, were first discovered in 2007, but their exact sources …

In a new study, scientists began pondering a pretty wild question: What if black holes can convert dead star matter into dark energy, the mystery force driving the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? If so, then it just might explain a multitude of “hiccups” in our models of the universe. This new theory proposes that black holes could …

Scientists at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility are investigating a different approach to tokamak operation that has yielded promising results for the design of future fusion power plants. Recent experiments have demonstrated that a plasma configuration known as “negative triangularity” can achieve the high-performance conditions necessary for sustained fusion energy, while also addressing a critical challenge related to heat management …

Roman Empire 1, Evil Empire 0. That would have been the headline in a different time and place, back when the New York Yankees were good enough to be considered evil and consistent enough to be considered an empire. But when Roman Anthony, Boston Red Sox rookie phenom, conquered his Yankee Stadium debut with three RBIs, a towering two-run blast …

A ghostly object orbiting the Milky Way has left astronomers questioning its composition: Is it a dark-matter-dominated dwarf galaxy or a star cluster bound by a hidden swarm of black holes? Ursa Major III/Unions 1 (UMa3/U1), the faintest known satellite of our galaxy, orbits the Milky Way at a distance of more than 30,000 light-years. It is a compact stellar …
