Both NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory caught these two galaxies in a close embrace.
As housing prices continue to rise nationwide—not just in major metropolitan areas, but even in rural locations—there’s pressure to create more housing. In Massachusetts, the 2024 Affordable Homes Act calls for 220,000 additional units of affordable housing to be created,…
When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and grow chaotic. Instead, the atoms abruptly stopped absorbing energy and locked into a stable pattern of motion. This strange effect arises…
“This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a star.”
At the start of a concert, a voice may come over the speakers warning members of the audience not to take photos or videos of the performance.
A brief, intense workout may do more than boost fitness—it could help fight cancer. Researchers found that just 10 minutes of hard exercise releases molecules into the bloodstream that switch on DNA repair and shut down cancer growth signals. When…
