Astronomers finally figure out what it’s like inside an actual, spinning black hole — and where exactly it’d kill you.

A planet the same size as Jupiter has been found around a surprisingly small red dwarf star about 285 light-years from our solar system. The gas giant is so large, relative to its host star, that it threatens to up-end long-held theories about how giant planets form.

It’s pretty well known that usually two sexes have to be involved for reproduction, but a team of scientists in Japan might have just blown that assumption out of the water. Led by Katsuhiko Hayashi, a professor of genome biology at Osaka University in Japan, the team have been able to create mice with parents who are both biologically male.

A novel thermally-powered actuator can bend and stretch to move a soft, caterpillar-like robot in more than one direction.

“Brian Cox — Alien Civilizations Decoded,” a captivating journey into the world of extraterrestrial life and our quest to find it. In this riveting video, renowned physicist Brian Cox discusses the implications of making contact with alien civilizations and the role of artificial intelligence in this extraordinary search.

We will explore the various methods scientists use to search for intelligent life beyond our planet, including scanning the skies for radio signals and examining exoplanets for potential habitability. With the recent introduction of AI, researchers have experienced a breakthrough, detecting over 20,000 signals of interest and igniting a renewed passion for finding alien technosignatures.
