The image above may look like a fairly normal picture of the night sky, but what you're looking at is a lot more special than just glittering stars. Each of those white dots is an active supermassive black hole. And each of those black holes is devouring material at the heart of a galaxy millions of light-years away - that's how they could be pinpointed at all. Totalling 25,000 such dots, as
Spring is just around the corner. And if our excitement were to be summed-up in one image, it would be this one. The Laughing Dormouse by Andrea Zampatti was chosen as a winner of the On Land category in the 2017 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, and it’s easy to see why. The tiny field mouse is captured beaming with happiness as it perches on a flower. It’s impossible not to smile back at t
Creating a quantum computer requires an ability to stroke the edges of reality with the quietest of touches. Too much 'noise' and the delicate state of the system collapses, leaving you with a very expensive paperweight. One way to reduce the risk of this occurring is to build in checks and balances that help to shield the blurred state of reality at the core of quantum computers - and now scie
1. 8 Da den 89-årige Harold Carr fra Newcastle, England, i 2009 døde, efterlod han ikke meget tilbage. Det var faktisk blot en gammel garage, som hans efterladte skulle rydde op i. Harold havde i hele sit liv været en excentriker, og udviklede sig til en eneboer i løbet af de sidste år af hans liv. Familien vidste, at Harold elskede biler, men de vidste ikke hvilke typer af biler, han
1. 5 Suurimmalla osalla yläasteella opiskelevista lapsista on aivan muita asioita mielessä kuin esimerkiksi talon rakentaminen. Dubuquesta, Iowasta kotoisin oleva 13-vuotias Luke Thill ei ole kuitenkaan kuten muut lapset. Taitava ja oma-aloitteinen nuorukainen on rakentanut talonsa aivan itse vanhempien takapihalle. Reilu 1 000 euroa maksanut projekti on vihdoin valmis, ja poika asuu nyt
A global period of upheaval 42,000 years ago was the result of a reversal in Earth's magnetic field, new research has found. According to radiocarbon preserved in ancient tree rings, several centuries' worth of climate breakdown, mass extinctions, and even changes in human behaviour can be directly linked to the last time Earth's magnetic field changed its polarity. he research team has name
The last time Texas was this cold was in 1989. With temperatures falling to below -10C (14F), the state's power grid failed, as it could not cope with the demand for electricity. Rotating power outages have been put in place by the grid operator to reduce the demand, leaving millions of people without electricity. At least 23 people died in the storm or its aftermath. Millions of people rema
Causality is one of those difficult scientific topics that can easily stray into the realm of philosophy. Science's relationship with the concept started out simply enough: an event causes another event later in time. That had been the standard understanding of the scientific community up until quantum mechanics was introduced. Then, with the introduction of the famous "spooky action at a
The United Arab Emirates Space Agency on Sunday released its first photo of Mars, taken by its Hope Probe. "The transmission of the Hope Probe's first image of Mars is a defining moment in our history and marks the UAE joining advanced nations involved in space exploration," Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said on Twitter. The transmission of the Hope Probe's first image of Mars is a defi
Every year, billions of songbirds migrate thousands of miles between Europe and Africa – and then repeat that same journey again, year after year, to nest in exactly the same place that they chose on their first great journey. The remarkable navigational precision displayed by these tiny birds – as they travel alone over stormy seas, across vast deserts, and through extremes in weather and
