Astronomers have watched a supermassive black hole take two bites of a star, and predicted when it might go back for a third. If it does, this should make for an intriguing stellar light show.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Astronomy, Bla… Continue reading Stellar light show predicted for next year as black hole swallows star
NASA has officially selected a new mission – the Ultraviolet Explorer, or UVEX. By scanning the skies in UV light, it will be able to study the hottest objects and fleeting events like supernovae, complementing existing and upcoming telescopes watching… Continue reading Ultraviolet eyes will explore the universe under new NASA mission
It’s easy to forget that most animals don’t see the world the way humans do. In fact, with infrared and ultraviolet sight, many animals experience a world that is completely invisible to us.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of … Continue reading Camera captures the world as animals see it, with up to 99% accuracy
Scientists in Japan have developed an intriguing new glue that can basically be switched on and off on demand. The adhesive sticks together when hit with one wavelength of light, and breaks apart with another, allowing it to be removed and reused easil… Continue reading New adhesive can be switched on and off on demand, even underwater
Scientists in Japan have demonstrated a technique that essentially allows them to remotely control the movements of worms. By implanting light-sensitive proteins into the organisms, the team was able to make them move under green light and stop under U… Continue reading Remote controlled worms can follow stop and go lights
Astronomers have discovered the most distant object ever seen – a strange galaxy some 13.5 billion light-years away. Known as HD1, the galaxy may house a never-before-seen population of stars, or a supermassive black hole mysteriously ahead of its time… Continue reading Most distant object ever seen is a mysteriously bright, ancient galaxy
It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change, but it’s not too late to do something about it – after all, we’ve stepped up to similar challenges before. New modeling shows just how much worse the situation would be if CFCs hadn’t been banne… Continue reading “World Avoided” model charts climate cost if we’d ignored ozone hole
Last year, LG launched a pair of true wireless earphones that came with a charging case designed to blast the buds with UV light to kill any bacteria that might be trying to take up residence. Now the company has brought the latest version of the bug-k… Continue reading LG’s flagship self-cleaning true wireless earphones make US debut
