Astronomers have confirmed that an object they thought was a distant galaxy is actually the brightest extra-galactic pulsar ever seen. The team made the discovery using a technique that blocks a particular type of polarized light, similar to polarized sunglasses, which could be used to spy more ‘hidden’ pulsars. Pulsars are highly magnetized spinning neutron stars that form from the collapsed remnants of exploded stars. As pulsars spin, they release a stream of radio waves from their poles — a ‘pulse’ that can be detected using radio telescopes. Astronomers use pulsars to test theories of gravity and to look for…

China has imposed a fresh ban on raising funds using “virtual currency”, deeming the activity illegal. Any person engaging in collecting money for any cause using cryptocurrency will be subject to prison sentence in China. The degree of punishment will be decided according to the amount of capital one may have collected using virtual assets, but jail time is inevitable for all rule violators. The move comes as part of China’s stringent crackdown on all crypto–related activities.The development was announced on Thursday, February 24, by the Chinese Supreme People’s Court. If the amount of illegally or disguised absorption of public…
For the first time, original Children of Bodom members have publicly addressed what really happened with late bandleader Alexi Laiho and how it affected the Finnish melodic death metal band toward the end.Children of Bodom stopped playing in December 2019 after keyboardist Janne Wirman, drummer Jaska Raatikainen and bassist Henkka “Blacksmith” Seppala officially left the group. Around that time, Laiho told Finland’s Helsingin Sanomat that his three bandmates wanted to stop touring with Bodom for family reasons. A year later, Laiho died from alcohol abuse.This week, the three Bodom members opened up to the same newspaper, saying that Laiho’s behavior late in his career is what actually led…

Water flows mysteriously well through narrow carbon nanotubes, but now there is an explanation: it may all be due to quantum friction Physics 2 February 2022 By Chen Ly Narrow carbon nanotubes behave in an unusual wayShutterstock / ustas7777777 Water flows more easily through narrower carbon nanotubes than larger ones and we have struggled to explain why. Now, one team has an answer: it may all be due to quantum friction. Friction in its standard, classical sense is well understood by most people.

On May 9, Balenciaga started preorders on its limited-edition Paris High Top sneaker. What makes this version of the brand’s high-top shoe so special — as to warrant a limited run and a $1,850 price tag — is that they are “full destroyed.” The sneakers look like they have been worn for decades, complete with rips and a dirt-color-stained rubber sole. Comparatively, the regular Paris sneaker is $625 and offers the same style just without all the roughing up. Despite the many, many people on social media who are hoping the release is a joke, it is, in fact, a…
It’s worth pointing out that the link between a person’s DNA and their athletic achievements is very hard to pin down. There’s very little evidence that you can predict specific success by DNA alone. There are rare cases, like that of the Finnish skier Eero Mäntyranta, who possessed a genetic mutation that gave him vastly more red blood cells than the average person. But based on current science, having an athlete’s DNA doesn’t necessarily tell you all that much about their potential or performance. In 2015, the British Medical Journal published a “consensus statement” written by sports science experts arguing…
By Clare Wilson Illustration of a CAR-T cellKEITH CHAMBERS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A high-tech gene therapy for treating cancer, which uses what are called CAR-T cells, has put two people with an otherwise fatal form of leukaemia into remission for about 11 years, the longest follow-up for this treatment yet. While the same success may not happen for everyone who responds to CAR-T cells, the long-lasting results are a landmark for the field, says John Marshall at Barts Cancer Institute in London, who wasn’t involved in this study. “It shows that when you get it right, it works very well.” “We can now…

Does The Flash‘s Frost really have a cold-storage unit where her soul should be? Or does this guy need to chill out? The reign of Deathstorm — and Robbie Amell‘s three-part return — concludes on Wednesday, May 4, in “Death Falls,” an hour which, per The CW’s very vague release, “Team Flash is under attack and each must fight to save not only themselves but each other.” In this exclusive clip from the episode, it’s clear that the evil entity who looks a lot like the late ex of Frost’s human side, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker), is warning the former supervillain…
Analysis of Bronze Age daggers has shown that they were used for processing animal carcasses and not as non-functional symbols of identity and status, as previously thought. First appearing in the early 4th millennium BCE, copper-alloy daggers were widespread in Bronze Age Europe including Britain and Ireland. Yet archaeologists have long debated what these objects were used for. As daggers are often found in weapon-rich male burials, or ‘warrior graves’, many researchers speculated that they were primarily ceremonial objects used in prehistoric funerals to mark out the identity and status of the deceased. Others suggested that they may have been…

Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the identities of more than 200 cell types of the human body is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in molecular and cellular biology, with critical implications for the treatment of human diseases. Central to the cell fate decision process are stem cells residing within each tissue of the body. When stem cells divide, they have the remarkable ability to choose to self-renew — that is, make a copy of themselves — or mature into defined lineages. How a specific lineage identity is maintained every time a stem cell divides can…
There’s no doubt about it. As soon as the first hint of blossom is on the trees and slightly lighter mornings are here, we’re ready to hit spring mode. Seeing spring/summer 2022 trends flooding the new-in sections is enough to get us excited, and we can’t help but daydream about ditching the multiple winter layers. Until it gets warmer, though, we have to all ease towards the new season with baby steps. You know, swap your faux-fur coat for a trans-seasonal trench. Replace cosy cashmere sweaters in favour of lighter, fine knits. And then there are the boots. While we’ve loved wearing…
Even though the Russian military action in Ukraine has heightened tensions between Moscow and the US, the two sides will continue to cooperate on operations of the International Space Station (ISS), NASA said. The US space agency has said that its collaborative operations with the Russian space agency Roscosmos will continue as normal. Russia and the US have often collaborated on the multinational project previously. One of the most ambitious international collaborations ever attempted, the ISS was launched in 1988 and is a collaboration between the US, Russia, Japan, Canada, and the European Space Agency (ESA). Astronauts from multiple nations…
Extreme heat across much of India and neighbouring Pakistan in March and April exposed more than a billion people to scorching temperatures well above 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). The devastating heatwave that gripped India and Pakistan over the last two months is unprecedented, but worse—perhaps far worse—is on the horizon as climate change continues apace, top climate scientists told AFP. Even without additional global warming South Asia is, statistically speaking, ripe for a “big one” in the same way that California is said to be overdue for a major earthquake, according to research published this week. Extreme heat across much…
