Interaction between glass spheres suspended in a vacuum might one day lead to advances in quantum computing.
NGC 7,727 will someday merge with a nearby galaxy — and intertwine their black holes in the process.
The galaxy’s violent past is written into its shape and composition, and the details are visible via telescope. This week, the European Southern Observatory released a new image of NGC 7,727 taken with the ground-based Very Large Telescope (VLT).
Captured in visible light with the VLT’s FOcal Reducer and low dispersion Spectrograph 2 instrument, streams of dust kicked up by the two merging galaxies can be seen spiraling around NGC 7727. Bright blue and purple clusters of stars dot the inner arms of the galaxy.
And its lopsided shape is no coincidence: as its two parent galaxies spun dusty circles around each other, the newly-formed NGC 7,727 came into being in a rather uneven way.
Have we found a water planet with deep oceans nearby (in astronomical terms)? Could water worlds be plentiful near red dwarf stars? Would life have a better chance on such worlds? Listen to see what we know so far about this and planet TOI-1452 b.

An interesting (and futuristic) project being developed in Switzerland…
Much of Bangkok is being abandoned due to flooding.
Bangkok, with a population of over 12 million, has been sinking underwater for decades. By the early 2030s, it is facing a disaster of epic scale, with much of the city being abandoned.*.
99 percent of the panels were made of PET.
Do you remember the solar panels that Prof. Paul Dastoor from the University of New Castle and his team produced with a 3D printer? If you don’t, it’s an evergreen story worth remembering. Let’s dive in…
3D printing is a major asset for the energy industry. Four years ago, light-weight, ultra-flexible, recyclable, and inexpensive solar panels came to light by Dastoor and his team.

The launch of Artemis I will be a symphony of high-powered machinery.
The countdown is well underway to launch NASA’s moon-bound Artemis I mission. NASA is preparing to launch SLS to orbit as soon as Monday, August 29. Once there, the Orion spacecraft hitching a ride atop SLS will detach to make its way towards the moon.
The mission will kickstart NASA’s Artemis launches, which will send humans back to the moon for the first time since 1972, and also pave the way for crewed missions to Mars.
A lot of hard work has gone towards the August 29 launch, culminating in the launch of SLS. The powerhouse rocket’s many components were built by many organizations, each serving a vital purpose. Here is a visualization of the major components of SLS. Below we provide more information on each separate part.
Ending cellular dead zones in the U.S. is the ultimate goal.
Cellular service provider T-Mobile has teamed up with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to provide universal coverage using the constellation of Starlink satellites, a press release reveals.
Cellular services have gone through many iterations since their first roll-out. Most countries around the world are currently seeing a roll-out of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile connections that allows the bandwidth for high-speed gaming and streaming high-definition videos.
In a live event today, T‑Mobile and SpaceX announced Coverage Above and Beyond: a breakthrough new plan to bring cell phone connectivity nearly everywhere.
It doesn’t involve magic but mirrors and lenses.
Energy can be trapped in the form of electric charge and heat, but until now, it has been impossible to absorb it in the form of light using traditional methods. Now a team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) claims to have developed the perfect setup to trap light, according to a press release published by EurekAlert.
Although this isn’t the first time scientists have come up with a way to absorb light energy, it is probably the only “light trap” method using which light energy can be absorbed even by very thin and weak mediums.
Whether in photosynthesis or in a photovoltaic system: if you want to use light efficiently, you have to absorb it as completely as possible. However, this is difficult if the absorption is to take place in a thin layer of material that normally lets a large part of the light pass through.
