How a unique sponge 'goes with the flow' could improve man-made structures

 E-Mail BROOKLYN, New York, Weekday, Month xx, 2021 - The remarkable structural properties of the Venus flower basket sponge (E. aspergillum) might seem fathoms removed from human-engineered structures. However, insights into how the organisms latticework of holes and ridges influences the hydrodynamics of seawater in its vicinity could lead to advanced designs for buildings, bridges, marine vehicles and aircraft, and anything that must respond safely to forces imposed by the flow of air or wa...

Giant comet found in outer solar system

Giant comet found in outer solar system The discovery of the comet estimated to 100-200 kilometers across was made by Penn researchers following a comprehensive search of data from the Dark Energy Survey. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is the most distant comet ever discovered and possibly the largest seen in modern times. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein (circled) is estimated to be about 1000 times more massive than a typical comet, making it arguably...

Dark Energy Survey releases the most precise look at the universe's evolution

Largest sample of galaxies surveyed over an enormous piece of the sky The Dark Energy Survey has imaged roughly 5,000 square degrees of southern sky. June 9, 2021 New results from the Dark Energy Survey, or DES, use the largest-ever sample of galaxies over an enormous piece of the sky to produce the most precise measurements of the universes composition and growth to date. Scientists funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation found that the way matter is distributed throughout the universe ...
