If you could zoom way, way out to look at the universe at its largest scale, you’d see that it’s made up of a colossal cosmic web. Now, astronomers have detected shockwaves moving through this web, providing new insights into large-scale magnetic field… Continue reading Astronomers detect shockwaves in colossal cosmic web
Models of the universe predict that supernova remnants should be far more common than they are. Now, a new image from sensitive radio telescopes reveal that the missing remnants are hiding in plain sight.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Su… Continue reading Long-lost invisible stellar graveyard revealed by radio telescope duo
The UniWave sea platform is an artificial blowhole that harvests energy from ocean waves. Independent analysts now predict it’ll create some of the cheapest renewable energy on the market – and some of the most reliable and predictable, as well.Continu… Continue reading Blowhole wave energy could soon be world’s cheapest clean power
Australian scientists have discovered strangely folded diamonds in rare meteorite samples. In investigating how they came to form, the team found evidence that they were forged in a cataclysm on an ancient dwarf planet.Continue ReadingCategory: Materia… Continue reading Mysterious folded diamonds traced back to ancient dwarf planet cataclysm
If you’ve seen the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) this week (and let’s face it, how could you not?), you might have heard the term “gravitational lensing” being thrown around. But what does it mean exactly? And how can it help … Continue reading What is gravitational lensing and how can the James Webb Telescope use it?
Although there’s no doubt that marine plastic waste pollution is a major environmental problem, there may be at least a small sliver of hope. According to a new study, plastic trash on Australian beaches has actually decreased by almost a third in rece… Continue reading Study reports a big reduction in plastic waste on Australian beaches
Half of the solar energy that bathes the Earth in warmth goes into a single process, according to some researchers: evaporating the water that covers some 71 percent of our fragile blue marble. Australian company Strategic Elements wants that energy ba… Continue reading Self-charging moisture battery promises sweat-powered wearables
Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest pulsar in the sky. Despite its intense light the pulsar has long evaded detection, and was only revealed thanks to a telescope equipped with some cosmic “sunglasses.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space,… Continue reading Telescope “sunglasses” reveal brightest extragalactic pulsar ever found
Astronomers may be a step closer to solving a cosmic mystery known as odd radio circles (ORCs). New images, captured by the MeerKAT radio telescope, are the clearest and most detailed yet taken of an ORC, helping to narrow down the list of suspects as … Continue reading New data reveals secrets of million-light-year-wide “odd radio circles”
Researchers at Australia’s CSIRO have demonstrated a new way to protect the integrity of vaccines against high temperatures. A proof-of-concept study has shown the method keeping vaccines viable at temperatures up to 37 degrees Celsius for three months… Continue reading New method allows vaccines to be stored for months without refrigeration
