AI tool reveals hundreds of ‘anomalies’ in Hubble telescope archives — and some defy classification

Six of the hundreds of ‘anomalies’ discovered in the Hubble telescope archives, including three unusual galaxies and three gravitationally lensed objects. (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, D. O’Ryan, P. Gómez (European Space Agency), M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble)) An artificial intelligence (AI) tool has uncovered more than 1,000 strange cosmic objects in the Hubble Space Telescope’s imageContinue Reading

The International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation in 2src25 was a timely reminder that the stability of Mongolia’s economy rests on fragile mountain systems that are melting faster than ever recorded. The loss reverberates across the country’s energy and agricultural systems, two development pillars that draw from the same finite resource: water…Continue Reading

ancient-oceans-stayed-oxygen-rich-despite-extreme-warming

Scientists studying ancient ocean fossils found that the Arabian Sea was better oxygenated 16 million years ago, even though the planet was warmer than today. Oxygen levels only plunged millions of years later, after the climate cooled, defying expectations. Powerful monsoons and ocean circulation appear to have delayed oxygen lossContinue Reading

mit-researchers-demonstrate-ship-hull-modifications-to-cut-fuel-use

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated that wedge-shaped vortex generators attached to a ship’s hull can reduce drag by up to 7.5 percent, which reduces overall ship emissions and fuel expenses. The paper, “Net Drag Reduction in High Block Coefficient Ships and Vehicles Using Vortex Generators,” was presented at the SocietyContinue Reading
