How Galaxies Die: New Insights Into Galaxy Halos, Black Holes, and Quenching of Star Formation
A simple model explains a wide range of observations by describing a contest between galaxy halos and their central black holes that eventually turns off…

The role genetics and gut bacteria play in human health has long been a fruitful source of scientific inquiry, but new research marks a significant…
The most sophisticated laser communication network ever designed has gained its second satellite. The European Data Relay System (EDRS) was built to accelerate the flow…
A paper published July 7, 2020, in the open access journal PLOS Biology outlines a roadmap for creating, for the first time, an agreed list…
The launch of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana is now planned for…
Additively manufactured fractal structures with closely spaced voids dissipate shockwaves five times better than solid cubes. Tiny, 3D printed cubes of plastic, with intricate fractal…
Utah’s Great Salt Lake and its surroundings are featured in this false-color image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. The Great Salt Lake is the…
The first end-to-end (‘telomere-to-telomere’) completely gapless DNA sequence of a human chromosome is a major milestone for genomics research. Although the current human reference genome…
Observers in the Northern Hemisphere are hoping to catch a glimpse of Comet NEOWISE as it zips through the inner solar system before it speeds…
The newly discovered planet’s parent star is still encircled by the disk of material from which both objects formed, giving scientists a glimpse at early…
“Alexa, go to the kitchen and fetch me a snack” Wouldn’t we all appreciate a little help around the house, especially if that help came…
Synthesizing an alternative fuel for muscle could lead to medical advances. A chemist and kinesiologist got on a bus, but this isn’t the set-up to…
In certain alloys, exposure to proton irradiation can extend the material’s lifetime, study finds. Radiation nearly always degrades the materials exposed to it, hastening their…
What is real can seem pretty arbitrary. It’s easy to be fooled by misinformation disguised as news and deep fake videos showing people doing things…
Atacama Cosmology Telescope findings suggest the universe is 13.8 billion years old. From a mountain high in Chile’s Atacama Desert, astronomers with the National Science…
This method exposes fake images created by computer algorithms rather than by humans. They look deceptively real, but they are made by computers: so-called deep-fake…
Chemists at the University of Münster develop a bioinspired strategy for the controlled synthesis of polyenes. They occur in nature, are reactive, and play a…
Sure, you’ve got a product that says “kills germs” under your sink, but will it really destroy the new coronavirus on surfaces? Turns out that…
