Researchers capture first laser-driven, high-resolution CT scans of dense objects 

A research team led by Colorado State University has achieved a new milestone in 3D X-ray imaging technology. The scientists are the first to capture high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object—a gas turbine blade—using a compact, laser-driven X-ray source.

Wireless terahertz cryogenic interconnect minimizes heat-to-information transfer in quantum processors

Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers in some complex optimization and computational tasks. However, before these systems can be adopted on a large-scale, some technical challenges will need to be overcome.

A Dyson swarm made of solar panels would make Earth uninhabitable, suggests study

As civilizations become more and more advanced, their power needs also increase. It’s likely that an advanced civilization might need so much power that they enclose their host star in solar energy-collecting satellites. These Dyson swarms will trap heat so any planets within the sphere are likely to experience a temperature increase. A new paper […]

Hubble sees a spiral and a star in the constellation Virgo

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a sparkling spiral galaxy paired with a prominent star, both in the constellation Virgo. While the galaxy and the star appear to be close to one another, even overlapping, they’re actually a great distance apart. The star, marked with four long diffraction spikes, is in our own galaxy.

Astronomers discover 2,674 dwarf galaxies using Euclid telescope

ESA’s Euclid space telescope has been providing valuable data from the depths of space for almost two years. With its help, the largest and most accurate 3D map of the universe to date is to be created, with billions of stars and galaxies. The data from Euclid is analyzed by the international Euclid consortium, which […]

Concept for interstellar object encounters developed, then simulated using a spacecraft swarm

Interstellar objects are among the last unexplored classes of solar system objects, holding tantalizing information about primitive materials from exoplanetary star systems. They pass through our solar system only once in their lifetime at speeds of tens of kilometers per second, making them elusive.

Would we know if a supernova was about to hit the Earth?

We know that regular supernovas pose no existential threat to life on Earth in the near-term. But there are other varieties of supernova that are a little bit harder to predict, and a little bit harder to spot.
