Hubble found a narrow ribbon of stars apparently stripped from a globular cluster in a galaxy 115 million light-years away—the first evidence of such a stream beyond the Milky Way, opening a new way to map dark matter in distant galaxies.

Hubble found a narrow ribbon of stars apparently stripped from a globular cluster in a galaxy 115 million light-years away—the first evidence of such a stream beyond the Milky Way, opening a new way to map dark matter in distant galaxies.

A narrow ribbon next to an ultra-diffuse galaxy has become the strongest evidence yet for a globular cluster stellar stream beyond the Milky Way. The feature appears in deep Hubble images of UGC 9050-Dw1, a faint galaxy about 115 million light-years away, and extends from a compact object that is likely the cluster that is … Read more

Durham water feature found as likely source of ‘brain-eating’ amoeba infection that killed teen :: WRAL.com

An investigation into a teen’s death from a “brain-eating” amoeba points to a water feature in Durham as the likely point of exposure. While the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services cannot conclusively determine where the teen was exposed, a state investigation identified a water feature at El Futuro as “the most likely … Read more

Trump, Federal Reserve on collision course over interest rates

Trump, Federal Reserve on collision course over interest rates

President Donald Trump berated Jerome Powell for years as he tried to pressure Powell, then chairman of the Federal Reserve, to lower interest rates. So far, he has given a pass to new Federal Reserve chief Kevin Warsh, whom he nominated this year. Now, just four months into Warsh’s term, the honeymoon may be over. … Read more

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember isn’t just a sequel – it’s a culmination of everything Team Ninja has learned from Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember isn't just a sequel - it's a culmination of everything Team Ninja has learned from Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive

The original Wo Long is an overlooked gem. Fast-paced, brutal, and compelling, the game made a name for itself among action RPG fans due to its key gimmick: that basically all attacks could be deflected. While some criticized this for making the game “repetitive”, I thought it was interesting and well-executed enough to last a … Read more

Luzardo was ruled … Read more

Astronomers had only 116 observations of the jet erupting from blazar 3C 345 across 27 years. An AI system turned them into the highest-resolution continuous reconstruction yet—and revealed features appearing to travel 10–13 times faster than light.

Astronomers had only 116 observations of the jet erupting from blazar 3C 345 across 27 years. An AI system turned them into the highest-resolution continuous reconstruction yet—and revealed features appearing to travel 10–13 times faster than light.

Astronomers did not continuously film 3C 345’s jet for 27 years. They observed it 116 times between 1995 and 2022, then used a neural representation to infer a changing radio image consistent with those irregular measurements. The work appears in the peer-reviewed Nature article Video reconstruction of variable VLBI observations with neural fields, led by … Read more

Nasal Spray Derived From Human Placenta Protects Against Alzheimer's Decline, Study in Mice Shows : ScienceAlert

The sticky proteins amyloid-beta and tau are hallmark features of Alzheimer’s disease, but they’re not the only contributors to the condition.Another factor implicated in cognitive decline is the chronic activation of specific cells in the brain – namely microglia and astrocytes – which can damage neurons through neuroinflammation.In a new study reported in Translational Neurodegeneration, … Read more
