Bacteria can learn and form memories without a brain
Bacteria can learn and form memories without a brain Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown that bacteria can learn from past experiences, store memories across generations and adapt their behavior to changing environments, all without a brain or nervous system. The research could shape how scientists think about bacterial infections and antibiotic treatment. In a study published in PRX Life, researchers from Carnegie...
James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns
James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns JWST found a black hole hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years away from Earth, and used a cosmic magnifying glass to determine its mass. The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the most distant, dormant black hole in the known universe , hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years from Earth. The newly analyzed black hole, located in a...
Eight metabolic niches reveal how ocean microbes recycle carbon worldwide
Eight metabolic niches reveal how ocean microbes recycle carbon worldwide Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The ocean is full of invisible workers. Trillions of microbes quietly break down carbon-containing organic matter, which helps to regulate Earth's climate. But scientists have long struggled to understand how different microbes contribute to the process.
James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass
James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass "We can now undertake a more complete census of how black holes develop over time and infer their role in shaping galaxy evolution." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have "weighed" a sleeping giant — a dormant supermassive black hole located a staggering 10 billion light-years away. That makes this black hole the most distant...
JWST 'weighs' dormant black hole 10 billion light-years away
JWST 'weighs' dormant black hole 10 billion light-years away Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The most distant, nearly invisible dormant black hole has been detected and "weighed" by an international team of astronomers that includes researchers from UCL. The study, published in Science, identified a dormant black hole at the heart of a galaxy known as MRG-M0138 located over 10 billion light years away. It is the most distant dormant black hole yet detected, 15...
Astronomers measure the mass of a dormant black hole, our solar system's lost protoplanet, and more science stories
Astronomers measure the mass of a dormant black hole, our solar system's lost protoplanet, and more science stories This week's science news. It's been an eventful week in science news. Astronauts on the ISS were briefly ordered to shelter in place after the discovery of an air leak in the transfer tunnel, NASA officially declared its MAVEN space probe dead and scientists announced the creation of a "universal vaccine" designed by AI.
New Velociraptor cousin was a '4-winged' dragon that hunted prey from the trees of ancient China, fossil find hints
New Velociraptor cousin was a '4-winged' dragon that hunted prey from the trees of ancient China, fossil find hints A new microraptor from Cretaceous China likely preyed on ancient birds. A newly discovered feathered dinosaur with four wing-like limbs may have prowled the lakeside forests of what is now northwestern China, gliding between trees like a flying squirrel and snatching some of the earliest birds out of the Cretaceous sky. The predator, named Jian changmaensis, was a close cousin...
Heat breaks the rules at the nanoscale and scientists used it to their advantage
Heat breaks the rules at the nanoscale and scientists used it to their advantage Tiny gold-engineered structures let scientists dramatically boost and control heat flow, potentially transforming everything from computer chips to energy systems. - Date: - June 8, 2026 - Source: - College of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University - Summary: - Scientists used nanoscale gold metamaterials to supercharge heat transfer across tiny gaps, achieving up to four times more energy flow than similar...
A golden age of maths is dawning and mathematicians are freaking out
I am attempting to solve a mathematical conundrum that has stumped many of humanity’s greatest thinkers. I have zero mathematical training, apart from a distant undergraduate physics degree, which should put my odds of success at slim to none. But I also have a trick up my sleeve – a kind of mathematical genie that can conjure arcane secrets seemingly out of thin air.
Newfound velociraptor cousin probably glided on four 'wings' and hunted early birds
Newfound velociraptor cousin probably glided on four 'wings' and hunted early birds Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A fossil bed in northwestern China is littered with the remains of hundreds of prehistoric birds—including some whose broken bones were crushed into pellets, similar to those coughed up by modern owls. For years, scientists guessed that a larger predatory animal must have hunted these ancient birds, but they never found direct fossil evidence of this...
