Fillou worked with scientists for two years to help test theories about how harbor seals use their whiskers to hunt. Robin Heinrich/Marine Science Center hide caption toggle caption Robin Heinrich/Marine Science Center Harbor seals have about 100 whiskers, but they’re not just for looks. They provide animals with important information about their surroundings. “These are … Read more

New theoretical research suggests that black hole While it may not completely evaporate, this contradicts Stephen Hawking’s infamous theory and appears to violate the fundamental laws of the universe. quantum mechanics. Instead, black holes may leave behind small, stable remnants that store all the information they once consumed, the study suggests. But there’s a twist, … Read more

Watch and hear how galaxies evolve in these new simulations. Video via Royal Astronomical Society. A new simulation allows scientists to see and hear the evolution of galaxies. COLIBRE simulations track the growth of the universe from its earliest days to today in unprecedented detail. By including cold gas and cosmic dust – Star raw … Read more
Researchers have taken a major step toward understanding how black holes affect the universe by directly measuring the power of their jets. A team led by Curtin University used a network of radio telescopes spread across the world to take detailed images that reveal just how energetic these jets are. The discovery supports long-standing theories … Read more
At first glance, the universe seems simple: stars, gas, dust, and gravity holding it all together. Then, when you look more carefully, you realize that nothing could be further from the truth. For decades, standard imagery has told us that most of what is out there is not what we can see. It is a … Read more

Researchers have detected for the first time that voids in the sky are moving faster than people. speed of light And they broke the speed limit of the universe without breaking the theory of relativity. Recent studies have shown void acceleration. The researchers used recent advances in ultrafast electron microscopy to measure the voids of … Read more
