Searching for Cosmic X-Ray Signposts of Elusive Continuous Gravitational Waves
In the last few years, astronomers have achieved an incredible milestone: the detection of gravitational waves, vanishingly weak ripples in the fabric of space and…

Deep Follow-up of GW151226 — an ordinary binary or a low-mass ratio merger? Now that we’ve been detecting gravitational waves (GWs), we’d like to better…
The Universe contains different “flavors” of black holes. While “stellar” mass black holes are 10-50 times the mass of our Sun, supermassive black holes are…
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: a man-made crystal that can be attached to antibodies and then supercharge them with potent drugs or…
Uncovered: Key to How Exercise Protects Against Consequences of Aging Monash University, Australia scientists have discovered an enzyme that is key to why exercise improves…
The first evidence of the existence of black holes was found in the 1960s, when strong X-rays were detected from a system called Cygnus X-1….
Many of the heaviest stars in the Universe will end their lives in a bright explosion, known as a supernova, which briefly outshines the rest…
How common is our Solar System? Less common than we might think. A significant fraction of planetary systems around Sun-like stars have had a very…
With the growing catalog of binary black hole mergers, researchers can study the overall spin properties of these systems to uncover how they formed and…
Most people know that the land masses on which we all live represent just 30% of Earth’s surface, and the rest is covered by oceans….
World’s largest study of the impact of temperature changes and kidney disease reveals that 7.4 percent of all hospitalizations for renal disease can be attributed…
A multi-disciplinary project driven by EMBL Australia researchers at Monash University and Harvard University has found a way to make antibiotics more effective against antibiotic-resistant…
In the 2030’s, gravitational-wave detectors will be thousands of times more sensitive than Advanced LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. The network of “third generation” (3G) observatories…
We all know being surrounded by greenery is good for the mind and soul, but can it be good for the body, too? Planetary health…
Using bats’ responses to SARS-CoV-2 may provide key insights into therapies for COVID-19. A paper published in the prestigious journal, Science Immunology, explores the idea that…
How rare is our Solar System? In the 30 years or so since planets were first discovered orbiting stars other than our Sun, we have…
Researchers unlock the key that could lead to the development of non-opioid painkillers to treat chronic pain. Monash University researchers have made a breakthrough discovery…
Largest and most comprehensive study to date of the health effects of wildfires in Brazil reveals the serious health consequences of this burning, linking exposure…
