As astronomers gather more data than ever before, studying the cosmos has become an increasingly complex task. A new innovation is changing that reality. Researchers have now developed a way to analyze enormous cosmic data sets using only a laptop and a few hours of processing time. Leading this effortContinue Reading
Scientists at The University of Western Australia’s node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have made a remarkable discovery: a massive structure stretching about 185,000 light-years between two galaxies, NGC 4532 and DDO 137, located some 53 million light-years from Earth. According to a study published inContinue Reading
Nature follows countless rhythms: the changing of the seasons comes from Earth’s orbit around the Sun, and the steady tick of a clock arises from the back-and-forth swing of its pendulum. These patterns can be described with simple mathematical laws. Yet, order can also appear in a far more surprisingContinue Reading
The most distant and most powerful ‘odd radio circle’ (ORC) known so far has been discovered by astronomers. These curious rings are a relatively new astronomical phenomenon, having been detected for the first time just six years ago. Only a handful of confirmed examples are known – most of whichContinue Reading
Scientists have turned a longstanding challenge in electronics — material defects — into a quantum-enhanced solution, paving the way for new-generation ultra-low-power spintronic devices. Spintronics, short for “spin electronics,” is a field of technology that aims to go beyond the limits of conventional electronics. Traditional devices rely only on theContinue Reading
Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s fastest supercomputers. But today’s machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or “qubits,” that store and process information are easily disrupted by their environment, leading to errors that quickly accumulate. One of the most promising approachesContinue Reading
A look into the throat of an active galaxy reveals a ring-shaped magnetic field that may explain extreme gamma radiation and neutrinos. Key Points A look into the heart of an active galaxy: Astronomers have captured an image of the origin of a cosmic jet. The image and its artificialContinue Reading
Amazon Q Business is a fully managed, generative AI-powered assistant that helps enterprises unlock the value of their data and knowledge. With Amazon Q Business, you can quickly find answers to questions, generate summaries and content, and complete tasks by using the information and expertise stored across your company’s variousContinue Reading
MIT astronomers have discovered a planet some 140 light-years from Earth that is rapidly crumbling to pieces. The disintegrating world is about the mass of Mercury, although it circles about 20 times closer to its star than Mercury does to the sun, completing an orbit every 30.5 hours. At suchContinue Reading
Researchers discover a more eco-friendly approach to study light and matter interaction that could revolutionise development of emerging technologies. Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland have developed a simple method to explore a complex area of quantum science. The discovery makes research in this field cheaper and moreContinue Reading
