An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma “fireballs” using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva, to study the stability of plasma jets […]

For the first time, an international research team led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that applying pixelized strong-lensing modeling on a galaxy cluster scale can significantly […]

A few days ago, I wrote about non-singular black hole models, specifically one known as the Hayward model. Since its introduction in 2006, several variations of the Hayward model have been introduced, including a rotating […]

Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, that’s what defines a black hole, right? Well, it depends on what you mean by black […]

Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our universe—which neither emits nor reflects light—remains unsolved. A team involving members from the University of […]

Using NASA’s Fermi gamma-ray space telescope, astronomers from Shanghai Normal University in China and elsewhere have investigated a distant blazar known as 4FGL J0309.9-6058. As a result, they identified quasi-periodic oscillation in the gamma-ray band […]

How could the principle of “radical mundanity” proposed by the Fermi paradox help explain why humans haven’t found evidence of extraterrestrial technological civilizations (ETCs)? This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint […]

The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) hasn’t yet begun its much-anticipated Legacy Survey of Space and Time. But it saw its first light in June 2025, when it captured its Virgo First Look images as part […]
