The horrific marine heatwave nicknamed the Blob destroyed much in its path during its peak. researchers have identified the systematic warming in the Pacific Ocean that fueled the Blob’s rise, and their modeling confirms that – as previously suspected – it is not the result of natural climatic variation.

…and scientists think they know why. Described as unexpected, ultra-fast “electron precipitation,” the phenomenon occurs when waves of electromagnetic energy pulse through Earth’s magnetosphere — the magnetic field generated by the churning of Earth’s core, which surrounds our planet and shields it from deadly solar radiation. These electrons then overflow from the magnetosphere and plummet…

‘Odd radio circles’ a million light years across were first spotted two years ago. using the world’s most capable radio telescopes, astronomers have revealed the clearest image yet of one of the weirdest phenomena in space. They definitively spotted five odd radio circles, or ORCs, and discovered that all of them have central galaxies containing…

High-frequency waves swirling on the sun have left scientists confused. They discovered a new set of waves moving in the opposite direction of the sun’s rotation, inexplicably travelling faster than was theoretically possible. For more, check out this Daily Mail/MSN story.

…to turn atoms invisible could finally test Stephen Hawking’s most famous prediction. The new proposal suggests that, by nudging an atom to become invisible, scientists could catch a glimpse of the ethereal quantum glow that envelops objects traveling at close to the speed of light.

While it might have a place in society, it’s a little unnerving. Among its popular traits, Replika is deeply customizable. The gender, looks, and name of the chatbot character are up to the user. Users can even determine the type of relationship they have with this virtual character. Options include friendship, mentorship, romantic relationship, or…

Frontier supercomputer, powered by AMD EPYC CPUs and AMD Instinct Accelerators, achieves number one spots on Top500, Green500 and HPL-AI performance lists. Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Frontier system submitted its very first score to the Top500 list of 1.1 exaflops, making it the world’s fastest supercomputer and the first to break the exascale barrier….

According to a new paper, it suggests that time can actually flow forward and backward. According to the principle of quantum superposition, individual units ( for instance, of light) can exist in two states at once, both as waves and particles, manifesting as one or the other depending on what you’re testing. Rubino’s team looked…

New research from the Hubble Space Telescope has found something interesting is happening in the universe. Scientists have been studying new data from the Hubble telescope, and they say that the universe’s expansion rate is much quicker than previously thought. The research has found that to a precision rate of just over 1%, the universe…

…sorry for the downtime again. Hopefully, we have things fixed.
