Astronomers Discover Stellar Graveyard Filled With Black Hole and Neutron Star Collisions
Astronomers using LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detected 128 collisions of black holes and neutron stars, including two rare mixed mergers that double previous records. These findings reveal new details of stellar evolution, refine Hubble constant estimates, and test Einstein’s relativity in extreme conditions. The cosmic “graveyard” offers fresh insight into how stars die and black holes grow.
Scientists Visualize New Gold Quantum Needles at Nanoscale
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have visualized gold nanoclusters in their earliest growth stage and discovered new elongated structures called gold quantum needles. These exhibit remarkable quantum properties, opening possibilities for sharper biomedical imaging and more efficient light-energy conversion in future applications.
