Lighter X-ray aprons could spare health care workers from chronic pain
Lighter X-ray aprons could spare health care workers from chronic pain Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A light, flexible polymer material developed at the University of Waterloo could replace the lead in heavy X-ray aprons, providing the same protection from harmful radiation while reducing their weight by almost 90%. "For patients who only get X-rays once in a while, heavy lead aprons might be OK, but technicians who wear them every day often develop back and neck...

Tiny X-ray telescope could unlock the Moon's hidden chemistry A tiny new X-ray telescope could unlock the Moon’s hidden chemistry and finally reveal how our nearest neighbor evolved. - Date: - June 6, 2026 - Source: - Tokyo Metropolitan University - Summary: - A lightweight new X-ray telescope could finally give scientists something they’ve never had before: a complete chemical map of the Moon.
Superheated magma may explain why similar volcanoes erupt in very different ways
Superheated magma may explain why similar volcanoes erupt in very different ways Robert Egan Associate Editor Scientists have shed light on a thermal process in magma that may help explain why similar volcanic systems can produce very different eruptive behaviors. An international team, led by The University of Manchester, studied magma from the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma, Spain, and found that "superheating"—a state in which magma is heated above the temperature at which crystals...
Black hole feeding bursts may explain JWST's Little Red Dots in early universe
June 8, 2026 report Black hole feeding bursts may explain JWST's Little Red Dots in early universe Shreejaya Karantha Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new theoretical study may have cracked one of the most puzzling discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): Little Red Dots, spotted across the early universe. The paper, posted to the arXiv preprint server on May 29, argues that these objects could be black holes caught in rare, violent bursts of...
Hidden beneath AI chips, Chinese-made circuit boards raise national security concerns in U.S.
Printed circuit boards sit underneath almost every chip, a necessity in nearly every electronic. They make up a quiet but crucial piece of the booming artificial intelligence market, and represent a growing problem for the U.S., because nearly all AI circuit boards, for Nvidia and others, are made in China. Circuit boards present all sorts of opportunities for adversaries to sneak through malicious components.
Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole
Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A team led by York University researchers has discovered the fastest wind near a supermassive black hole ever found at ultraviolet wavelengths, driven by the disk of matter (quasar) surrounding the black hole. "This quasar has a black hole of 1.7 billion times the mass of the sun. What's not typical is that it has gas moving towards us at 30% of the...
The Alligator Alcatraz Boondoggle
Since the early 1990s, I have visited scores of prisons and jails throughout the United States, as well as the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. The immigrant-detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz, deep in the Florida Everglades, stands out as a uniquely cruel publicity stunt with an absurdly high price tag, in which much of the money goes into just a few pockets. For almost a year, the facility has been operated under an unusual arrangement: funded by the state of Florida and run by...

These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth
These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth "This wind is unlike anything on Earth." Astronomers have discovered a distant quasar — or active nucleus of a galaxy — that's powered by a feeding supermassive black hole blasting out winds at record-breaking speeds of 30% the speed of light, around 201 million miles (323 million kilometers) per hour. This is the fastest black hole wind seen specifically in ultraviolet wavelengths.
