Are We Misreading the Universe? New Method Could Unveil Secrets of Colliding Black Holes

Scientists have developed a more precise method for analyzing gravitational waves, offering a sharper view into the Universe’s most violent and mysterious collisions. A newly developed technique for analyzing gravitational-wave data could significantly enhance how scientists investigate some of t

LIGO Detects Black Hole Smashup So Extreme It’s Bending Einstein’s Rules

A record-breaking black hole collision has stunned scientists with its sheer scale and speed. Detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories, the event merged two enormous black holes—each over 100 times the mass of the Sun—into a single, spinning cosmic titan. The final result? A black hole more

MIT’s Tiny New Device Could Save Diabetics From Deadly Blood Sugar Crashes

The new implant contains a reservoir of glucagon that sits beneath the skin and can be activated in an emergency, with no need for injections. For individuals with Type 1 diabetes, the risk of hypoglycemia, dangerously low blood sugar, is a constant concern. When glucose levels drop too far, the

Did a Cosmic Collision Dam the Grand Canyon? A 56,000-Year-Old Mystery

A remarkable coincidence occurred 56,000 years ago, when the impact that created Meteor Crater triggered both a landslide-dammed lake and a paleolake formation in the Grand Canyon. Earth’s ancient past often reads like a mystery novel, and a recent study published in Geology reveals one of its mo

NASA Just Discovered Where These Mysterious Space X-Rays Really Come From

Astronomers have just solved a long-standing mystery about a rare, rapidly spinning neutron star known as PSR J1023+0038. Using NASA’s IXPE telescope and a fleet of observatories, scientists discovered that the system’s intense X-rays don’t come from its glowing accretion disk as previously belie
