teachnetObserving a distant and messy collision between galaxy clusters, astronomers have discovered that dark matter, the most mysterious “stuff” in the universe, passed through the wreckage like a cosmic phantom.…
teachnetWhile black holes are known as the most destructive objects in the universe, their evolution is largely shrouded in mystery. This is because while astronomers are familiar with supermassive black…
teachnetThe year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field’s inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies…
teachnetResearch on tachyons, particles theorized to move faster than light, has progressed significantly, revealing that prior inconsistencies within quantum mechanics stemmed from inadequate boundary conditions. A new framework, considering both…
teachnetYeah! Science! For the first time, scientists at Berkeley Lab have synthesized element 116 (livermorium) using a titanium particle beam. Previously, physicists created livermorium atoms using a calcium beam. The…

teachnetPerhaps the greatest leaps in all of science history occurred during the 17th century. At the dawn of the century, heliocentrism was just an alternative idea: one that fit the…
teachnetUsing a supercomputer, a team of physicists has confirmed a discrepancy between observations of the universe and theoretical predictions about its structure. The team used PRIYA, a suite of simulations…
teachnetA spiraling wind helps the supermassive black hole in galaxy ESO320-G030 to grow, assisted by magnetic fields. In this illustration, the core of the galaxy is dominated by a rotating…
