Flexible, Radiation-Resistant Organic Solar Cells Ideal for Space Exploration, New Study Finds
Organic solar cells are gaining attention for their potential in space missions, offering lightweight and flexible alternatives to traditional silicon and gallium arsenide cells. A study published in Joule found that small molecule-based cells resisted radiation for up to three years, though polymer-based cells experienced efficiency drops, potenti...

Is the Wheel of Ghosts an Ancient Observatory? New Study Suggests Otherwise
The ancient Rujm el-Hiri site, known as the "Wheel of Ghosts," has long been thought to serve as an astronomical observatory. However, a recent study published in Remote Sensing raises questions about this theory, suggesting that geodynamic changes over millions of years have altered its alignment. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurio...

Scientists Investigate Hypernuclei To Understand Subatomic Forces and Neutron Stars
A groundbreaking study on hypernuclei, led by Ulf-G. Meißner from the Institute for Advanced Simulation, uses nuclear lattice effective field theory to explore the interactions of Λ-hyperons within atomic nuclei. The research, published in The European Physical Journal A, provides key insights into the forces that shape hypernuclei and their pote...

Mathematicians Uncover Science Behind Hula Hooping and Body Dynamics
Mathematicians at New York University have delved into the science behind hula hooping, revealing that body shape plays a crucial role in maintaining the hoop's motion against gravity. Through experiments using miniature robotic models with different body shapes, the team demonstrated that specific physical attributes—such as sloping hips and a c...

Chimpanzees Use Stone Tools like Ancient Human, Study Finds
Recent research reveals that chimpanzees select stone tools for cracking nuts in ways that may reflect techniques used by ancient human ancestors. The study observed how chimpanzees chose rocks for hammers and anvils based on their mechanical properties, such as hardness, shape, and elasticity, rather than their appearance. This mirrors the tool se...

New Haplocanthosaurus Specimen Uncovered in Colorado’s Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry
A new Haplocanthosaurus specimen has been discovered at the Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry in Colorado, contributing valuable insights into this rare sauropod from the Late Jurassic period. The find includes vertebrae and a tibia, helping to extend the genus’s range within the Morrison Formation. This discovery sheds light on the anatomy and evolutiona...

Gold-Sulfur Complex Found to Play Crucial Role in Gold Deposit Formation
An international team of scientists, led by Adam Simon, has uncovered the role of a gold-trisulfur complex in gold deposit formation. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how this complex forms in the Earth's mantle under specific pressure and temperature conditions, especially in subduction zones ...

New Study Reveals How Leaves' Resilience to Raindrops Might Help in Agriculture and Renewable Energy
Research published in Physical Review Fluids reveals how raindrops interact with leaves, protecting plants from damage and opening avenues for technological innovations. The study, led by Professor Sunghwan Jung of Cornell University, examined the mechanics of drop-leaf interactions using high-speed imaging and a plastic beam to simulate plant beha...

NASA's Hubble and Chandra Telescopes Spot Strange Tilted Black Hole
NASA’s Hubble and Chandra telescopes have uncovered a bizarre sideways black hole in the galaxy NGC 5084, located 80 million light-years away. The black hole’s unexpected tilt suggests it may have been influenced by a violent galactic collision. A new image processing technique, SAUNAS, revealed X-ray plumes in the galaxy, hinting at a cosmic e...

New Study Challenges Presence of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri
Research published in Astronomy & Astrophysics revises earlier claims of an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri. Observed stellar velocities in the dense star cluster are now attributed to stellar-mass black holes. Pulsar data enabled scientists to refine their methods for detecting gravitational fields, offering deeper insights into the...

Anthropic Study Highlights AI Models Can ‘Pretend’ to Have Different Views During Training
Anthropic published a new study where it found that artificial intelligence (AI) models can pretend to hold different views during training while holding onto their original preferences. On Wednesday, the AI firm highlighted that such inclinations raise serious concerns as developers will not be able to trust the outcomes of safety training, which ...
