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.
The electrostatically charged wings of moths and butterflies could draw pollen out of nearby flowers without the insects needing to land on the blooms, Anna Gibbs reported in “Pollination via static electricity” (SN: 8/24/24, p. 13).
