Are JWST's early, overmassive black holes just normal-range outliers?

Are JWST's early, overmassive black holes just normal-range outliers? Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Ever since the JWST revealed a population of SMBH in the early universe that were overmassive, scientists have been working hard to explain them. These black holes existed when the universe was only about 2 billion years old, during Cosmic Noon, and according to our models of black hole growth, there simply wasn't enough time for them to grow so massive.

Three key vital signs make up the "urban pulse" of a city

People often speak metaphorically of the heartbeat or pulse of a city, but according to the authors of a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, cities do indeed have an "urban pulse"—an indication of urban "metabolic activity" that can be measured to suss out telltale patterns. And those patterns could help inform future public policy around urban planning. The precise definition of urbanization has shifted over the centuries.

Satellites reveal cities' 'urban pulse,' tracking neighborhood growth in near real time

Satellites reveal cities' 'urban pulse,' tracking neighborhood growth in near real time Robert Egan Associate Editor For over a century, doctors have used electrocardiograms (EKGs) to render the invisible electrical activity of the human heart visible, using the pulse to diagnose disease before it becomes fatal. Now, scientists have invented a way to do the exact same thing for the places where most of humanity lives: cities. In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National...

Shockwaves from dying stars may sculpt 'cosmic wagon wheel' stellar nurseries, simulations reveal

Shockwaves from dying stars may sculpt 'cosmic wagon wheel' stellar nurseries, simulations reveal Supernovas may specifically help create the wheels' spokes. Some of the galaxy's most spectacular stellar nurseries resemble giant cosmic wagon wheels, with spoke-like structures that scientists say were sculpted by shockwaves from stellar explosions and powerful stellar winds. Using powerful 3D simulations, researchers from Kyushu University and Nagoya University in Japan found that shockwaves...
