The Collaboration that Brought you the First Image of a Black Hole Just Released Photos of its Massive Jet
|
Recently published data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) of the galaxy Messier 87 facilitate new insights into the direct environment of the central supermassive black hole. Measured differences in the radio light on different spatial scales can be explained by the presence of an as of yet undetected jet at frequencies of 230 Gigahertz at spatial scales comparable to the size of the black hole. The most likely location of the jet base is determined through detailed modeling.

The Dirty Afterlife of a Dead Satellite
|
Sometimes humans get ahead of ourselves. We embark on grand engineering experiments without really understanding what the long-term implications of such projects are. Climate change itself it a perfect example of that - no one in the early industrial revolution realized that, more than 100 years later, the emissions from their combustion engines would increase the overall global temperature and risk millions of people's lives and livelihoods, let alone the impact it would have on the species we share the world with. According to a new release from the Salata Institute at Harvard, we seem to be going down the same blind path with a different engineering challenge in this century - satellite megaconstellations.

Is There A Link Between Primordial Black Holes, Neutrinos, and Dark Matter?
|
In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe capable of producing such energy—100,000 times more than the highest-energy particle ever produced by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. However, a team of physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently hypothesized that something like this could happen when a special kind of black hole, called a "quasi-extremal primordial black hole," explodes.

Review: Dwarf Lab's New Dwarf Mini Smart Telescope
|
Telescopes are getting smaller. It’s strange to think: smartscopes have been with us for over half a decade now. Since 2020, we’ve tested units from Vaonis, Unistellar and more. In a short time, these smartscopes have revolutionized amateur astronomy, putting deep-sky imaging within reach of causal users. Recently, we had a chance to put Dwarf Lab’s latest unit the Dwarf Mini through its paces.

Turning Forgotten Telescope Data into New Discoveries
|
Astronomers have been collecting data for generations, and the sad fact is that not all of it has yet been fully analyzed. There are still discoveries hiding in the dark recesses of data archives strewn throughout the astronomical world. Some of them are harder to access than others, such as actual physical plates containing star positions from more than a hundred years ago. But as more and more of this data is archived, astronomers also keep coming up with ever more impressive tools to analyze it. A recent paper from Cyril Tasse of the Paris Observatory and his co-authors, published recently in Nature Astronomy describes an algorithm that analyzes hundreds of thousands of previously unknown data points in radio telescope archives - and they found some interesting features in it.

Cosmic Collision: The JWST Found An Early 5-Galaxy Merger
|
The JWST found a system of at least five interacting galaxies only 800 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery adds weight to the growing understanding that galaxies were interacting and shaping their surroundings far earlier than scientists thought. There's also evidence that the collision was redistributing heavy elements beyond the galaxies themselves.

Neutron Scans Reveal Hidden Water in Famous Martian Meteorite

New tools unlock new discoveries in science. So when a new type of non-destructive technology becomes widely available, it's inevitable that planetary scientists will get their hands on it to test it on some meteorites. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv, by Estrid Naver of the Technical University of Denmark and her co-authors, describes the use of two of those (relatively) new tools to one of the most famous meteorites in the world - NWA 7034 - also known as Black Beauty.

Reading the Moon’s Diary, One Speck of Dust at a Time
|
Magnetism on the Moon has always been a bit confusing. Remote sensing probes have noted there is some magnetic signature, but far from the strong cocoon that surrounds Earth itself. Previous attempts to detect it in returned regolith samples blended together all of the rocks in those samples, leading to confusion about the source - whether they were caused by a strong inner dynamo in ages past, or by powerful asteroid impacts that magnetized the rocks they hit. A new study from Yibo Yang of Zhejiang University and Lin Xing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, published recently in the journal Fundamental Research, shows that the right answer seems to be - a little of both.

A hidden brain effect of prenatal alcohol exposure
|
New research using rhesus monkeys suggests that the brain’s relationship with alcohol may begin forming long before a person ever takes a drink. Scientists found that exposure to alcohol before birth reshaped the brain’s dopamine system, a key player in motivation and reward, and those changes were linked to faster drinking later in adulthood.

Scientists discover hidden deep-Earth structures shaping the magnetic field
|
Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of years. Using ancient magnetic records and advanced simulations, scientists discovered that these formations influence the movement of liquid iron in Earth’s core. Some parts of the magnetic field remained stable over vast stretches of time, while others changed dramatically.

Mars’ water mystery may have a simple ice answer
|
Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice could trap heat and protect liquid water beneath. These lakes may have gently melted and refrozen each year without ever freezing solid. The idea helps solve a long-standing mystery about how Mars shows so much evidence of water without signs of a warm climate.

A superfluid freezes and breaks the rules of physics
|
Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its endless, frictionless flow—freeze into a strange new state that looks solid yet still belongs to the quantum world. This long-sought phase, known as a supersolid, blends crystal-like order with superfluid behavior and has puzzled scientists for decades.

At just two months old, babies are already organizing the world in their minds. Brain scans revealed distinct patterns as infants looked at pictures of animals, toys, and everyday objects, showing early category recognition. Scientists used AI to help decode these patterns, offering a rare glimpse into infant thinking. The results suggest babies begin learning and understanding far sooner than expected.

Melting Antarctic ice may weaken a major carbon sink
|
Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life could not easily use. This means more melting ice does not automatically boost carbon absorption. In the future, Antarctic ice loss could actually reduce the ocean’s ability to slow climate change.

MIT's new brain tool could finally explain consciousness

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technology that can precisely stimulate deep regions of the brain that were previously off-limits. In a new “roadmap” paper, they explain how this method could finally let scientists test cause-and-effect in consciousness research, not just observe correlations.

The genetic turning point that made backbones possible

Scientists have uncovered a surprising genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones—from fish and frogs to humans—became so complex. By comparing sea squirts, lampreys, and frogs, researchers found that key genes controlling cell communication began producing many more protein variations right at the moment vertebrates emerged. This genetic flexibility likely helped cells specialize in new ways, shaping the development of diverse tissues and organs.

A hidden cellular process may drive aging and disease
|
As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while preserving fat-related ones. This process, driven by ER-phagy, is tied to lifespan and healthy aging. Because these changes happen early, they could help trigger later disease—or offer a chance to stop it.

This strange little dinosaur is forcing a rethink of evolution

A newly identified tiny dinosaur, Foskeia pelendonum, is shaking up long-held ideas about how plant-eating dinosaurs evolved. Though fully grown adults were remarkably small and lightweight, their anatomy was anything but simple—featuring a bizarre, highly specialized skull and unexpected evolutionary traits. Detailed bone studies show these dinosaurs matured quickly with bird- or mammal-like metabolism, while their teeth and posture hint at fast, agile lives in dense forests.

Scientists discover protein that could heal leaky gut and ease depression
|
Chronic stress can damage the gut’s protective lining, triggering inflammation that may worsen depression. New research shows that stress lowers levels of a protein called Reelin, which plays a key role in both gut repair and brain health. Remarkably, a single injection restored Reelin levels and produced antidepressant-like effects in preclinical models. The findings hint at a future treatment that targets depression through the gut–brain connection.

One of Earth’s most abundant lifeforms has a fatal flaw
|
SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters. But that extreme streamlining appears to backfire when conditions change. Under stress, many cells keep copying their DNA without dividing, creating abnormal cells that grow large and die. This vulnerability may explain why SAR11 populations drop during phytoplankton blooms and could become more important as oceans grow less stable.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and terrain data normally used by rover planners, identified hazards like rocks and sand ripples, and charted a safe path across the Martian surface. After extensive testing in a virtual replica of the rover, Perseverance successfully followed the AI-generated routes, traveling hundreds of feet autonomously.

It’s the rare headset that also fits the audiophile mindset, thanks to its 100mm planar-magnetic drivers tuned by HiFiMAN. With these $299 wired headphones, they don’t have to choose between precise spatial awareness and expressive staging. Footsteps arrive as clean, crisp coordinates, while veil-free vocals and vibes stay textured. There’s space around bullets and air around cymbals, plus nimble bass that’s got pleasing nuance for an open-back thanks to a Neo Supernano Diaphragm Gen. 2 packed between Stealth Magnets. The tactile feel is equally dialed in, with plush drop-shaped pads (sonically warmer velour and more neutral leatherette), a reasonable 420g weight for marathon campaigns and/or playlists, and a cable kit that includes an on-cable full-band MEMS boom microphone, USB-C dongle, as well as a 4.4mm balanced termination to get the most out of the 16Ω 8Hz–55kHz specs. Sure, they require a quiet room, but goosebumps are guaranteed. This gift is a little off the beaten path, but it can appeal to people who like to choose the road less taken, so … If you have an adventurous soul in your life who wants to stay active but may need some assistance, the Hypershell X exoskeleton can put some pep back in their step while hiking, climbing, running, cycling, or simply commuting. In January, we tested the $1,999 Ultra X model on an excursion through a Nevada canyon (variants are available across various ranges and materials, starting at $999). And the 1000 W of adaptive power packed into this carbon fiber and titanium alloy frame successfully lowered our heart rate while making us feel capable of more effortless output as we stomped and scrambled through the Calico Hills. For anyone who feels they’ve lost a step—whether because they’re older, recovering from an injury, facing other mobility issues, or just tasked with logistical demands—we feel this hip-assisted exoskeleton can ease physical toll. It also has a mode to provide resistance for physical therapy/fitness. Cyclists, hikers, climbers, they’ll happily invest in top-tier gear, then toss it all into a chaotic pile when the day’s done. That’s where gear haulers come in, and the RUX Essentials Set is one of the best ways to bring order to the madness. Think “Home Edit” for the outdoors. The system starts with a 70-liter RUX Gear Box, a collapsible, weather-proof container with a clear window so you can see what’s inside. Add the RUX Bag, a 25-liter divider bag that clips neatly into place to create containers within the container, and the RUX Pocket, a slim, folder-style organizer that attaches inside or out for smaller essentials. The result is a modular setup that lets your special someone lift out exactly what they need when it’s time to roll. Whether storing gear long-term or loading up the truck for a quick escape, it turns packing into a pleasure instead of a scramble. At nearly $400, it’s a splurge, but it’s also guaranteed for life.

Luss Hogback Stone in Luss, Scotland
|
In the shadow of a Victorian church lies an 11th-century Norse grave marker, the last tangible whisper of Viking raiders who once terrorised the bonnie banks. Tucked among the weathered headstones of Luss Parish Church, this peculiar hump-backed boulder is easy to mistake for an eroded rock or forgotten grave. But look closer at its curved silhouette and you're gazing at a miniature Viking longhouse, a stone "hall for the dead" carved to guide a Norse soul to Valhalla. Hogback stones are an enigma of the Dark Ages. These Anglo-Scandinavian grave markers appear nowhere in Scandinavia itself. They exist only in Britain, concentrated in areas of Viking settlement along the trading routes that once connected York to Dublin. The Luss example sits along the Forth-Clyde corridor, a waterway the Norse knew well. In 1263, King Haakon IV of Norway launched a massive fleet against Scotland in a final bid to reassert Norse dominance over the Western Isles. His raiders sailed up Loch Long, then in an audacious feat of strength, dragged their longships overland at Tarbet to burst upon Loch Lomond, pillaging the settlements along its shores and catching the locals utterly by surprise. Whether this particular stone dates to that infamous raid or commemorates an earlier Norseman who settled these banks remains a mystery. The stone's distinctive "shingled" roof ridge and faint interlace carvings on its flanks mark it unmistakably as Viking work. After being unearthed in 1926, it spent decades slowly disappearing beneath creeping moss until a 2015 restoration revealed its ornate details once more. Now raised on a small plinth of gravel, it offers visitors a tangible connection to a time when dragon-prowed ships haunted these waters.

Ayapua Boat Museum in Iquitos, Peru
|
Before the 1850s travel by boat up the Amazon river, against the current, was nearly impossible, but with the arrival of steamboats new industries became possible. The most lucrative of these was the rubber trade, and from 1880-1912 the Amazon was flooded with adventurers looking to make their fortunes. Steamboats like the Ayapua were the lifeline of this boom. They functioned as cargo boats, passenger liners, naval vessels, hotels, brothels, and everything in between. The Ayapua itself was built in 1906 in Hamburg, Germany, for the express purpose of carrying up to $2,000,000 worth of rubber per load in today’s money from the Peruvian Amazon to Europe and the United States. The Amazonian rubber boom, however, was doomed almost before it began. After the British managed to smuggle a load of rubber seeds to their Asian colonies the price of rubber plummeted. Reports of the brutal living conditions and wholesale slaughter of the indigenous rubber tappers also started to reach Europe and Lima, despite the propagandising of the Rubber Barons, and by 1912 most of the adventurers and speculators had fled Iquitos, leaving nothing but mansions, trauma, and steamboats.
