The journey of NASA’s dauntless Voyager 2 spacecraft through our solar system’s farthest reaches has given scientists new insight into a poorly understood distant frontier: the unexpectedly distinct boundary marking where the sun’s energetic influence ends and interstellar space begins.
A beloved 1-ton boulder in one of Arizona’s national forests has “magically” returned after visitors reported it missing last month.
New research aims to open the ‘black box’ of computer vision
Generally speaking, black holes are the corpse of a dead star. But not all stars become black holes at the end of their life – for instance, our familiar Sun is small enough to avoid that fate.
Czech scientists have opened a lab to experiment growing food for environments with extreme conditions and lack of water, such as Mars.
Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, the first university in the world focused solely on artificial intelligence, is drawing thousands of applications from graduate students across the globe
Unusually large and long ridges documented in massive landslides across our Solar System are commonly associated with the presence of ancient ice layers. To better understand how these features formed, an international team of planetary scientists analyzed 3D images of an extensive landslide in the Valles Marineris region of Mars. Their findings show the unique structures could have formed at high speeds of up to 224 mph (360 kmh) due to underlying layers of fragmented rocks; this challenges the idea that underlying layers of ice can only explain such long ridges.
DeepMind’s AlphaStar beat all but the very best humans at the fast-paced sci-fi video game.
