Mizzou researchers help farmers prevent and manage livestock losses

University of Missouri researchers are helping farmers prevent disease outbreaks by teaching biosecurity practices, such as hand sanitizing and wearing farm-dedicated shoes. They also provide guidance on safe composting methods to dispose of dead livestock, reducing the risk of disease spread.

WVU engineers recalibrate radio telescopes to illuminate dark energy

Researchers at WVU are enhancing the calibration of radio telescopes to measure dark energy by analyzing the '21-centimeter signal' from neutral hydrogen atoms. This technique aims to improve the ability of radio telescopes to detect large-scale structures in the universe, such as galaxy clusters and voids.

New high-definition pictures of the baby universe

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the universe’s infancy. These new images show subtle variations in density and velocity of gases in the young universe, helping scientists answer longstanding questions about the universe’s origins.

SAMSUNG T9 Portable SSD 2TB

SAMSUNG T9 Portable SSD 2TB transfers large imagery and model outputs quickly between field laptops, lab workstations, and secure archives.

Technical Trials for Easing the (Cosmological) Tension

A new study has sorted through models attempting to solve the cosmological tension, a discrepancy between two ways of calculating the universe's expansion. Three models that were previously viable solutions were excluded by the new data, while others reduced the tension but not solved it.

New measurement captures clearer picture of our galaxy and beyond

The new CLASS maps provide further insight into linear polarization, helping scientists study the Milky Way but also studying the early universe. The results significantly improve observations, allowing for a better understanding of the cosmic microwave background and its implications on the universe's origins.

Gene mutations in tumors impact radiation sensitivity

A new Northwestern Medicine study identifies common and rare gene mutations that impact radiation resistance and sensitivity. This information will allow clinicians to better calibrate radiation doses based on genetic mutations, improving treatment efficacy while reducing toxicity.

Researchers propose a new way to detect the elusive graviton

Physicists Lawrence Krauss and Frank Wilczek suggest measuring minute changes in the cosmic background radiation could detect telltale effects of gravitons. They propose that gravitons exist as 'quantum fluctuations' during inflation, generating gravitational waves that affect CMB polarization.

Anker Laptop Power Bank 25,000mAh (Triple 100W USB-C)

Anker Laptop Power Bank 25,000mAh (Triple 100W USB-C) keeps Macs, tablets, and meters powered during extended observing runs and remote surveys.

The beginning of everything: A new paradigm shift for the infant universe

Scientists at Penn State University developed a new paradigm for understanding the earliest eras of the universe, extending analyses to the Big Bang using loop quantum cosmology. The research reveals that fundamental fluctuations in space-time evolved into large-scale structures, challenging classical physics and inflationary theories.

Explosion of galaxy formation lit up early universe

New data reveals galaxies formed and fully illuminated the universe by 750 million years old, ending sooner than expected. The epoch of reionization lasted less than 500 million years and was triggered by monster galaxies with over a billion stars.

MIT to lead development of new telescopes on moon

The Lunar Array for Radio Cosmology (LARC) project aims to explore the 'Dark Ages' of the universe when stars and galaxies first formed. The new telescopes will study cosmic background radiation and test current theories about the universe's formation.
