Three dozen dwarf galaxies located far away from each other manifested a so-called simultaneous “baby boom” of new stars, an exciting discovery that puts some question marks on the current theories regarding how galaxies expand, which may improve our knowledge…
In a premiere survey of this kind, an international team consisting of over fifty astronomers identified over 100,000 spots where stars were born across 90 galaxies from the universe. The so-called star nurseries are regions of space where the stars…
Batteries have progressed a lot since the Voltaic pile was invented. Though the technology kept evolving from lead-acid to lithium-ion, numerous challenges are still in the way of progress. These are some of the most prevalent problems – higher energy…
