Easily identified by the spectacular band of dark dust that partially obscures its bright core, Messier 64, or the Black Eye Galaxy, is characterized by its bizarre internal motion. NASA, CSA, ESA, F. Belfiore (European Southern Observatory – Germany), J.…
A new paper by Junia Mortimer, Urban Studies Foundation fellow, explores what happens when photographic archives are revisited through different conceptual frameworks, and with different people in the room. The archive in question belongs to Roberto Monte-Mór, professor at the…
A new nature-inspired membrane uses perfectly uniform one-nanometer pores to filter molecules with remarkable precision. The technology could transform industries such as pharmaceuticals and textiles by reducing energy consumption, improving water reuse, and delivering separation performance far beyond current filters.
A new study from the HistoGenes project, of which Patrick Geary, professor emeritus in the School of Historical Studies, is co-PI, is helping scholars frame a better picture of the early medieval people who inhabited Western Europe after the fall…
A part of Canadarm2 robotic arm on the ISS broke in May, requiring repairs by spacewalking astronauts no earlier than June 30. A spare is already on the station.
