Tzanidakis was combing through old telescope data from 2020 when he found an otherwise boring star acting very strangely. The star, named Gaia20ehk, was about 11,000 light-years from Earth near the ...

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...

Images from NASA’s DART mission revealed the first direct evidence that asteroids in a binary system can exchange rocks and dust. Slow moving debris from the asteroid Didymos appears to have struck ...

Three ways to reduce these collisions: influence driver behavior, influence animal behavior and separate animals from roads. “You can recover costs [of building wildlife overpass or underpass] in two ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN have searched for evidence of long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model in proton-proton collision events Despite the huge success of the Standard Model of particle ...

An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover aerospace, astronomy & hosted The Cosmic Controversy Podcast. Aug 12, 2025, 03:33am EDT Big Bang and expanding universe.

At the forefront of discovery, where cutting-edge scientific questions are tackled, we often don’t have much data. Conversely, successful machine learning (ML) tends to rely on large, high quality ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
