Scientists expected a black hole but found a neutrino factory powered by stars

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have tracked down the source of a powerful neutrino burst with the help of a remarkable cosmic phenomenon that acted like a natural telescope. What they discovered challenged expectations. Researchers initially suspected that a supermassive black hole was powering an extraordinarily bright…

Scientists reprogram brain immune cells to fight Alzheimer’s

Researchers in Spain and Switzerland have identified an experimental molecule that may help restore the brain’s natural defenses against Alzheimer’s disease. The compound, known as OLE, appears to “reprogram” microglia, the brain’s immune cells, allowing them to regain some of their protective abilities. The research was led by José Vicente…

Einstein’s “biggest blunder” may finally have an explanation

One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics centers on a number known as the cosmological constant. This value describes the energy responsible for the universe’s accelerating expansion. It also sits at the heart of a major conflict between two of science’s most successful theories. According to quantum field theory…

This giant tropical fruit could help reverse gum disease damage

Researchers in Brazil have created a new biomaterial made from jackfruit latex, pomegranate peel extract, and simvastatin (a statin-based medication) that could offer a more effective way to treat periodontitis, a serious form of gum disease. The team, from the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences (FCMS) at the Pontifical…

Black hole winds may be robbing giant galaxies of their future stars

Astronomers may be getting closer to solving a long-standing mystery about the universe’s largest galaxies. Observations from the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, known as XRISM, are providing new evidence that supermassive black holes could be preventing these giant galaxies from forming as many stars as expected. According to current…

SpaceX wants to build AI data centers in space. Will it work?

Imagine if one company could become the railroad, electric utility and cloud-computing provider of the emerging space economy. That potential fueled excitement around the long-anticipated initial public offering of SpaceX. Investors are not simply betting on rockets anymore. They are betting on an entire orbital ecosystem.
