Results of Dark Energy Survey show universe may actually be smoother and more spread out than previously thought
The cause of Earth’s deepest earthquakes has been a mystery to science for more than a century, but a team of Carnegie scientists may have cracked the case. New research published provides evidence that fluids play a key role in deep-focus earthquakes—which occur between 300 and 700 kilometers below the planet’s surface. The research team includes Carnegie scientists Steven
May 21, 2021 12:21 AM EDT These extraordinary phenomena, known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), provide as much energy in a thousandth of a second as the Sun does in a year. Researchers have had difficulty tracking down where these transient radio signals come from, let alone identifying what type of object or objects are triggering them. Hence, they vanish in less than a blink of an eye. As a result, much of the time, astronomers are unsure where to look. It's crucial to figure out where these bursts are coming from and the galaxies they come from to figure out what sorts of cosmic phenomena cau...
