NASA/D. Berry Black holes could be a cosmological engine. When their magnetic fields disconnect and reconnect, they can accelerate plasma particles near the event horizon – the point beyond which nothing can escape a black hole’s gravitational pull. The finding could allow astronomers to better estimate the mass and spin of black holes. We expect all black holes to spin, because they are formed out of a collection of matter that is also spinning before it condenses. And around a spinning black hole there … Continue reading Subscribe now for unlimited access App + Web

New Polymer Captures Ammonia Preventing Air Pollution Image Credit: Heloisa Bordallo, The Niels Bohr Institute A newly developed polymer could trap ammonia, preventing it from polluting the atmosphere, thus improving human health considerably.  Ammonia is a toxic gas that is a major source of air pollution that can harm human health. The compound of nitrogen and hydrogen is a byproduct of both agriculture and industry, and even though it is harmful enough alone  —  causing damage to eyes, throats, and even in extreme circumstances death  —  when it reacts with other air pollutant...

Graphene-enhanced Window Films for the Automotive Industry NEX, the nano-ceramic window-film contains graphene alongside tungsten and antimony tin oxide to provide drivers with crystal clarity as well as UV and glare reduction. Image Credit: stekautomotive.com The complementary properties of graphene and glass mean that they go together hand in hand excellently. The development of such fusions continues to be especially beneficial to the automotive industry. Graphene is a wonder material that is often promoted for its novel physical properties. This material, which consists of a single layer ...

Arches of Chaos Could Enable Super-Fast Space Travel Global arch-like structure of space manifolds in the Solar System. Image Credit: Sciencemag.org Astronomers h ave discovered dynamic channels or ‘aches of chaos’ within the solar system that could enable faster travel to both its inner and outer regions for future space missions. A team of researchers led by Nataša Todorović, Astronomical Observatory Belgrade, Serbia, has found notable and unexpected manifold structures with the solar system. This architecture  —  created by gravitational interactions  —  in the fabric of...

Classifying Supernova Explosions Using Artificial Intelligence Image Credit: Shutterstock/NASA images Machine learning and classification could help astronomers better understand and classify the Universe’s most explosive events.  Supernovae, massive cosmic explosions that represent the final death throes of stars, offer astronomers and cosmologists a vital tool for understanding the Universe. In particular, one type of these massive explosions — Type Ia supernovae — can be used to measure distances in the depths of space. Aside from this, learning more about supernovae can tel...
