A new security loophole discovered by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst can bring some expired credit cards back to life. If stolen, these “zombie credit cards” could leave cardholders vulnerable to fraudulent charges, […]
Many industrial processes, such as pasteurizing, dyeing and drying, need one thing above all: heat. Currently, factories often burn natural gas to reach the necessary temperatures. This reliance on fossil fuels remains a challenge in […]
In electronic devices, irregular fluctuations in signals are generally referred to as “noise.” Because noise interferes with accurate information processing, conventional semiconductor technology has mainly treated it as something to be reduced or eliminated.This post […]
“Students are funneled into echo chambers, lured into extremist content through innocent avenues such as gaming and workout videos, then exposed to extreme misogyny, racism, homophobia and transphobia.” That’s how one Australian teacher described what […]
In two separate papers published in Physical Review Letters, researchers investigated the nuclear reactions that take place inside supernovae and X-ray bursts—two of the universe’s most powerful explosions. Together, the findings will help scientists build […]
It’s nearly 170 million years old. It’s more than 2.5 times the size of Earth. And it’s the first exoplanet discovered and cataloged by researchers with the Wisconsin Center for Origins Research (WiCOR).This post was […]
Astronomers have discovered the first confirmed dual active galactic nucleus in a Green Pea galaxy, revealing two supermassive black holes growing at the same time inside a compact, intensely star-forming system. X-ray observations with Chandra […]
A few months ago, AI made headlines for cracking a mathematical puzzle that had stumped experts for decades. Mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit-distance conjecture, predicting how many pairs of points could lie the same […]
Astronomers have discovered that the jet of a distant blazar has been gravitationally lensed by an unseen source of dark matter. Led by Silke Britzen at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany, […]
A new paper has put hard numbers on a plan that’s been rattling around the astronomy community for a while now—a California company called Reflect Orbital wants to put giant mirrors in orbit and beam […]
