[ad_1] Just a few years ago, scientists around the world celebrated when the first gravitational waves were detected, confirming a long-standing scientific theory and opening a whole new field of research. Now, the international research team responsible for detecting gravitational waves has announced another 39 gravitational wave events, bringing the …

[ad_1] Researchers from Cambridge University and Northwestern University tested the effectiveness of different tissues in filtering particles between 0.02 and 0.1 micrometers – about the size of most viruses – at high speeds, comparable to coughing. or heavy breathing. They also tested the N95 and surgical masks, which are more …

[ad_1] Over the past five years, astronomy has been revolutionized as scientists have used ripples in the fabric of spacetime, called gravitational waves, to reveal the secrets of the previously hidden world of black holes. Gravitational waves are created when two black holes merge in a cataclysmic release of energy, …

[ad_1] AThere are currently strange sounding coaching workshops and seminars in many American universities. Universities try to emotionally prepare their students and faculty for the upcoming presidential election under slogans like “Stress before the election – let the feelings go” and “Psychological flexibility regardless of the election result”.

[ad_1] New research led by a team of international sea ice experts led by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) detailed the likely results of Arctic sea ice contraction and highlighted the urgent need for further research to inform the future decision making and climate modeling. Led by …

[ad_1] Water is more abundant on the Moon than we might have suspected, according to two papers published today in Nature Astronomy that confirm the presence of ice on and near the lunar surface. It’s a push for the prospect of extracting water from the Moon, which can help support …

[ad_1] The search for Planet Nine – a hypothetical ninth planet in our solar system – could eventually identify the faintest orbital trails in an incredibly dark corner of space. This is exactly what Yale astronomers Malena Rice and Gregory Laughlin are attempting with a technique that collects scattered light …

[ad_1] An international team of coastal scientists has rejected suggestions that half the world’s beaches could go extinct over the course of the 21st century. The claim was made by European researchers in a paper published in Nature Climate Change in March 2020 (Sandy coastlines under threat of erosion by …

[ad_1] This 3D rendering, created from computed tomography scans of the mid-section region of the diabolical armored beetle, was x-rayed at the Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source. This region, known as the medial suture, is where you connect the two halves of the beetle’s exoskeleton. (Credit: Jesus Rivera / UC …

[ad_1] Galaxies in the early universe are much more mature than astrophysicists thought: their existence at such an early stage is due to their interactions with the cosmos. A galaxy in the early universe observed by the ALMA telescope. The galaxy is considered to be already mature, because it contains …
