Dwarf galaxies are small, faint galaxies that are often found in or close to bigger galaxies or galaxy clusters. As a result, they could be impacted by their larger companions’ gravitational effects.

“We introduce an innovative way of testing the standard model based on how much dwarf galaxies are disturbed by gravitational tides’ from nearby larger galaxies,” said Elena Asencio, a Ph.D. student at the University of Bonn and the lead author of the story.

Tides occur when gravity from one body pulls on various areas of another body differently. These are comparable to tides on Earth, which form when the moon exerts a stronger pull on the side of the Earth that faces the moon.

Teleportation is already real, but it’s probably not exactly how you imagine it. With the Metaverse in play, entering a virtual room is already happening. The Metaverse is a virtual space where people can interact and socialize with each other through technology. Even though we are not yet there with physical teleportation, virtually, we can pin ourselves anywhere we want. Let’s learn about this and other cool inventions that seem like they come straight from the future!

The innovative technique for the speedy repair and service of hypersonic weapons had passed stringent field tests in challenging combat settings.

Designed to be launched from an aircraft (not a carrier), these weapons can be used as anti-satellite weapons or go after a wide range of high-value targets in the air, according to the People’s Liberation Army researchers led by Xiao Jun, a scientist with the China Airborne Missile Academy in Luoyang, Henan province.

Since the 1990s, scientists have cataloged thousands of planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets. Some of these are massive and gaseous, while others are tiny and rocky like our home world. But a recent analysis suggests that some of these exoplanets might be more dense and have more water than previously thought, which has big implications for alien life.

Beware! This robotic arm has a powerful grip.

What would be your first reaction when you see a grey-colored robotic hand mimicking your real hand’s (assuming that the reader is a human) movements and functions? You’d be shocked and spooked, right? Well, a robotics company in Poland has managed to create such an unbelievable artificial hand for real, New Atlas.

A robotic hand that looks and works almost like a human hand is about to arrive in the market by 2023. Here is everything you want to know about the science and underlying technology that makes this innovation work.

A team of researchers with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney has achieved a breakthrough in spin qubit coherence times (opens in new tab). The research took advantage of the team’s previous work on so-called “dressed” qubits — qubits constantly under the effect of an electromagnetic field shielding them from interference. In addition, the researchers leveraged a newly-designed protocol, SMART, (opens in new tab) which leverages the increased coherence times to allow individual qubits to be safely coaxed to perform the required computations.

The improvements allowed the researchers to register coherence times of up to two milliseconds — over a hundred times higher than similar control methods in the past, but still a ways from the amount of time your eyelids take to blink.
