Universal memories: Astronomers closer to detecting gravitational waves that leave behind “memories” as they pass through
Astronomers are getting closer to detecting the “memory” that gravitational waves leave behind as they pass through space. Next-generation facilities and existing ones, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the U.S. and the Virgo Interferometer in Italy, will be key to this detection. In an article for Space, astrophysicist Paul Sutter of the Ohio State University wrote […]

Natural treatments: Salt nanoparticles are toxic to cancer cells, say researchers
A study led by University of Georgia researchers found that salt nanoparticles could kill cancer cells and confer anti-cancer immunity. Published in the journal Advanced Materials, the study showed that sodium chloride nanoparticles (SCNPs) could stealthily enter cancer cells and rip them apart from within, causing cell death. The cells’ death could then trigger an immune response that enables the body to ward off […]

Researchers discover how space travel weakens astronauts’ immune systems
A new study published June 7 in the journal Scientific Reports found that space travel weakens the immune system by causing the abnormal activation of cells that suppress immune responses. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and the Stanford University School of Medicine arrived at this finding after exposing human blood samples to simulated weak […]

Excessive use of video games, social media and the internet linked to poor academic performance
A new study has found that teens who play video games or surf the internet for more than an hour a day tend to perform worse at school compared to teens who use these interactive technologies in moderation. Interactive technologies are anything that allows for the two-way flow of information, such as video games, smartphones, social […]

Massive tsunami that hit Britain 8,200 years ago would wipe out present-day cities in Scotland – study
A new study published in the journal Boreas suggests that the massive tsunami that hit the U.K. around 8,200 years ago will wipe out modern-day cities and towns in Scotland if it happens again today. Called the Storegga tsunami, the event was triggered by a submarine landslide in the Norwegian Sea, north of the U.K. It is widely considered the largest natural […]

Study attributes mysterious booms called “skyquakes” to celestial phenomena
Researchers suggest that mysterious booming noises called skyquakes are mainly caused by celestial phenomena, such as meteor explosions and supersonic aircraft zooming through the sky. Described as explosive booms rumbling in the distance, skyquakes are widely thought to originate from the sky. These mysterious booms are often reported in the eastern coast of the United States where they seem […]

Harvard physicist: Earth should sign an interstellar treaty with alien civilizations to prevent cosmic catastrophe
Harvard University astrophysicist Abraham Loeb recommends establishing an interstellar treaty with advanced alien civilizations that may be residing in the Milky Way and the neighboring galaxy, Andromeda. He says that this treaty would prevent a cosmic catastrophe that can wipe out the Earth. Loeb, who was the longest-serving chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, made the suggestion in an article published May 23 in […]
