A newly discovered L subdwarf is on an unusual journey through our galaxy. The Sun is orbiting the Milky Way at 220 kilometers per second, but an even faster star, J1249+36, has been discovered moving at about 600 kilometers per second. Found by the citizen science project Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, this hypervelocity L subdwarf star could potentially leave the Milky Way.

Even without a central nervous system, some life on planet Earth can behave in arguably intelligent ways. Plants are not often thought of as cognizant beings, but perhaps that's our own brain-y bias at play. In a fascinating and contentious new paper, Andre Kessler, a chemical ecologist at Cornell University,...

A new technique that produces 3D models of individual crystals has opened a window for scientists to see the subtle deviations that emerge in their otherwise perfect patterns.



					
			

Researchers from New York University (NYU) went back to the drawing board on how to look deep inside solids made of repeating units, and determine how they grow.
With a short wavelength roughly the same size as many of the repeating units that make up crystals, X-rays have long allowed scientists to infer how a crystal's components fit together by measuring the angle at which the rays are diffracted.
For all its ingenuity, though, X-ray...

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Two-Faced


We've received a strange signal from across the galaxy, and astronomers are struggling to understand what it means.
They know what's emitting the signals. It's a  neutron star named ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0 (ASKAP J1935+2148 for short), located in the plane of the Milky Way, some 15,820 light-years from Earth.



					
			

But the signals themselves are like none we've ever seen before. The star goes through periods of strong pulses, periods of weak pulses, and periods of no pulses at all.
What we don't know, according to a team led by astrophysicist Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney in Australia, is why. The strange object...

A feast devoured by a supermassive  black hole a billion light-years from Earth has revealed how fast that black hole spins on its axis.
Changes in the flare of light as the black hole woke up and fed were created by a disk of material that whirled and wobbled – and that wobble has given us the spin speed of the black hole at its center, say a team led by astrophysicist Dheeraj Pasham of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).



					
			

It's the first time scientists have been able to calculate the spin speed of a black hole based on its...

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Opinion: Heavy Alcohol Use Increases Emotional Dysregulation

The rotation of Earth's inner core really has slowed down, a new study has confirmed, opening up questions about what's happening in the center of the planet and how we might be affected.



					
			

Led by a team from the University of Southern California (USC), the researchers behind the finding think this change in the core's rotation could change the length of our days – albeit only by a few fractions of a second, so you won't need to reset your watches just yet.
"When I first saw the seismograms that hinted at this change, I was stumped," says Earth scientist John Vidale...

Researchers will no longer need to choose between studying a single human brain as a patchwork of fragmented images or a distant, pixelated view of large structures.
A new imaging platform developed by a US team instead seamlessly combines the finer details of brain cells, their connections and contents, with brain-wide maps of whole networks of neurons holding up the brain's overall architecture.



					
			

These elements of brain biology exist on wildly different scales, from the nanometer-sized gaps of synapses to centimeter-long brain regions, which have until now required multiple samples from multiple brains to analyze using various technologies on different platforms.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
