A team of scientists drove hundreds of miles through the steppes of Kazakhstan in search of what may be one of the largest and most diverse fungi ecosystems on Earth. The Washington Post believes their efforts “could help make the planet more resilient to climate change.” When these underground fungi come together, they form sophisticated […]
Scientists using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. Phys.Org reports: The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera-electronvolts, or about 10 trillion times the energy of visible light. This observation is hard to reconcile with the theory of […]

Astronomers have found the first direct evidence of a black hole spinning, and it’s confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity yet again. The discovery was made by studying powerful jets of energy beamed from the solar system-size black hole at the center of the neighboring Messier 87 galaxy. The black hole, called M87, is the best […]
Stanford’s president and a high-profile physicist are among those taken down by a growing wave of volunteers who expose faulty or fraudulent research papers. WSJ: An award-winning Harvard Business School professor and researcher spent years exploring the reasons people lie and cheat. A trio of behavioral scientists examining a handful of her academic papers concluded […]
(BPRW) NASA Postdoctoral Program seeks early career and senior scientists for prestigious fellowships at its locations across the U.S. Program offers unique and inspiring environment for fellows to conduct research with leading NASA scientists; apply by Nov. 1 for next application cycle deadline (Black PR Wire) OAK RIDGE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– NASA invites both early-career and […]
A new study has revealed that black holes could be lurking much closer to Earth than anticipated. A black hole in space is when “gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out,” NASA explains. “The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when […]
More than 200 scientists have signed onto a letter pushing for “responsible” research into ways to trap planet-heating carbon dioxide in the world’s oceans. They want to take urgent action on the climate crisis, while making sure they don’t trigger any new problems by relying on oceans to help in the fight. From a report: […]
Amanda Woods Frazier A flamingo is seen in Kentucky. CNN — When you think of flamingos, the images that come to mind are probably of African water holes, the Caribbean, Florida – or almost anywhere else other than Waynesville, Ohio. So, when Jacob Roalef saw Facebook posts about flamingos at Ceasar . . .
