Medicine & TechnologyA magnetic reversal from a galaxy 236 million light-years away may have caused a magnetic flip to the field surrounding a black hole. Read on to learn more details on this "strange explosive episode."
Astronomers from MIT discovered eight new sources of black hole echoes in the Milky Way galaxy. Read why the discovery is significant and listen to their echoing sound.
Boa constrictors choke their prey before swallowing them. Find out here the trick snakes use to prevent themselves from suffocating while swallowing their prey.
Researchers have developed the thinnest X-ray detector in the world that is only 10 nanometers thick and uses tin mono-sulfide (SnS) nanosheets. Scientists said that this could lead to real-time imaging of cells someday.
The prototype for a new X-ray scanner machine has demonstrated the ability to show not just the shape of a target but also its molecular composition - promising to revolutionize a number of fields, from medicine to geology.
Planets outside the Solar System, or exoplanets, have been continuously discovered since 1995. Now, scientists report that the first planet from another galaxy was just discovered using X-ray images from 2012.
Astronomers create the first X-Ray map of the Milky Way with more than one million cosmic objects. The team is already working on future surveys in the next few years.
