Using new simulations, astrophysicists implemented simple conditions to model the feeding of a supermassive black hole and the organic formation of its jets and accretion disk. When the researchers ran… Read More »X-shaped radio galaxies might form more simply than expected
Bacteria collaborate and coordinate collectively as they form a shared structure called a biofilm, such as the dental plaque on our teeth or the microbiome associated with our gut. This… Read More »Physics meets biology: How bacteria synchronize to build complex structures
With the help of artificial intelligence, an international research team led by ETH Zurich has explored the moon’s permanently shadowed regions. The information they have obtained about the area’s surface… Read More »AI illuminates permanently shadowed regions on the moon
A team of researchers at the University of Vienna, the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Duisburg-Essen have found a new mechanism that fundamentally alters the interaction between… Read More »Glass nanoparticles show unexpected coupling when levitated with laser light
