Supermassive black holes may be nature's own particle colliders, potentially revealing dark matter. Scientists propose searching for high-energy particles from black hole collisions using observatories. Supercolliders, Dark matter, Black holes.
Nematode worms form towers, tentacle-like structures, to bridge gaps and hitchhike on other creatures when food is scarce. These towers, studied by Ding et al., are superorganisms aiding worm dispersal.
President Trump's proposed budget cuts to NASA science and withdrawal of Jared Isaacman as NASA leader have triggered turmoil. Cuts threaten key missions and spark widespread opposition. Budget decrease 25%.
The great eared nightjar, nicknamed 'baby dragon', is a camouflaged, elusive bird native to South/Southeast Asia. They nest on forest floors, feeding on insects and using haunting calls.
Nuclear waste storage faces challenges, especially near oceans. Saltwater corrosion threatens container integrity. Stainless steel, though typically resistant, can pit and crack, risking leaks. Long-term safe storage is crucial.
Whale bone artifacts dating back 17,500 years reveal Stone Age tool use and dietary practices. Researchers analyzed bones from multiple whale species, discovering spear points and evidence of oil extraction for nutrition.

New nanoparticle lenses enable infrared vision by converting invisible wavelengths into visible light. Human trials show enhanced perception, opening doors for security, rescue, and anti-counterfeiting applications.
Researchers in Japan linked a lightning strike to a terrestrial gamma-ray flash using ground-based sensors, revealing details of the collision of lightning leaders and electron acceleration.
Cosmic rays, mainly protons, are accelerated by supernova explosions. These high-energy particles, sometimes exceeding PeV, interact with Earth's atmosphere and surface. Supernova remnants are key PeVatron candidates.
Case study links growth hormone therapy to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Prions from cadaver-derived hormones caused a fatal neurological condition. Long latency period is a concern.
Adam Kovalčík pioneers a lower-cost method to produce antivirals like galidesivir, targeting RNA viruses (Ebola, Zika). Using corn husks, his process simplifies drug creation, potentially saving lives. COVID-19 impacts.
