These Glass Pearls from Clam Fossils Hint at Ancient Meteorite Crash in Florida –...
Researcher Mike Meyer mounted several microtektites on micropaleontology slides. These microspherules are likely proof that a meteorite struck the ocean near the state of Florida a couple of million years ago. (Image: © Mike Meyer/Meteoritics and Planetary Science) Tiny glass pearls found inside fossilized clams are likely a sign that a meteorite made a sizeable…
How black holes shape galaxies – Phys.org
Artist's impression showing how ultrafast winds blowing from a supermassive black hole interact with interstellar matter in the host galaxy, clearing its central regions from gas. Credit: ESA/ATG medialab Data from ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has revealed how supermassive black holes shape their host galaxies with powerful winds that sweep away interstellar matter. In a…

See the First Eerie NASA Images of DART’s Asteroid Crash Site – CNET
On Monday, the world watched as a little NASA spacecraft called DART met its explosive end. This box, slightly bigger than an oven and winged with solar panels, had been fated to die since it left Earth in November. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test's mission was simple: Crash into a large asteroid so scientists can see whether…
Uncovering Hidden Patterns: AI Reduces a 100,000-Equation Quantum Physics Problem to Only Four Equations...
Abstract quantum physics illustration.Scientists trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations than would typically be required, all without sacrificing accuracy.A daunting quantum problem that until now required 100,000 equations has been compressed into a bite-size task of as few as four equations by…
