Quasars, distant cores of galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, are among the most luminous objects in the universe. While not uncommon, their brightness can make it difficult to accurately measure the galaxies they reside […]
IMDEA Materials Institute has developed an acoustic imaging method that overcomes some of the fundamental limitations of technologies like ultrasound imaging.This post was originally published on this site
Researchers at the University of Bath and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) suggest that the celebrated Dunning-Kruger effect, often taken to mean the least competent people are the most overconfident, may […]
A team of astronomers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has observed an extremely rare “wandering” black hole located tens of thousands of light-years from the center of its galaxy. This finding […]
A KAIST research team has developed a next-generation world model, an internal model an AI builds to understand and predict the world, that learns executable theories from observation alone.This post was originally published on this […]
Since the first practical organic light-emitting diode (OLED) was developed in 1987 by Ching W. Tang and Steven A. VanSlyke at Eastman Kodak Company in the U.S., OLED technology has come a long way. The […]
Positrons—the antimatter counterpart of electrons—are created in high-energy cosmic processes. When normal matter meets its antimatter counterpart, they annihilate, or vanish, and produce a distinctive 511 keV gamma-ray signal. Scientists use this signal to detect […]
In his 2023 bestseller, Determined, neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky argued that the interaction of biology and environment leaves no room for free choice. Philosopher and neuroscientist Sam Harris puts the case more bluntly: “free will is […]
Building next-generation semiconductors and low-power electronic devices requires precisely stacking materials with different functions. In this process, it is essential to preserve each material’s intrinsic properties, as well as the interface where the two materials […]
Young people are navigating their romantic and sexual lives in an increasingly complex world. Social media content, including content from misogynistic influencers, has contributed to rapidly changing norms around gender, sex and relationships.This post was […]
