futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-19 10:45:01

Astronomers using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a spectacular cosmic object they're calling the "Infinity Galaxy." The site of an epic head-on collision between two galaxies, it could harbor the secrets to how the heaviest black holes in the universe, the supermassive black holes found at the hearts of galaxies, are born and reach their unbelievable masses — masses extreme enough to organize trillions of stars around them.

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-29 07:01:50

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet. And yet, if you head over to a site like Fandango, there they ar

Introduction With the release of the NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and RDNA 4-based Radeon 9000-series GPUs, we finally have consumer video cards that support the PCIe 5.0 standard. Although we have had motherboards with support for it for some time now, we didn’t have any devices other than storage that took advantage of it. This leads now to the question: What impact does PCIe 5.0’s increased bandwidth have on GPU performance in content creation applications? PCI Express (abbreviated PCIe or PCI-e)

What links a Möbius strip, brain folds and termite mounds? The answer is Harvard University’s L.

Mahadevan, or Maha to his friends and colleagues, has long been fascinated by questions one wouldn’t normally ask — from the equilibrium shape of inert objects like a Möbius strip, to the complex factors that drive biological systems like morphogenesis or social insect colo

Raleigh One e-bike launches with VanMoof DNA

It was developed for the Accell Group’s Raleigh brand with help from VanMoof’s cofounders, Ties and Taco Carlier, according to my sources.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA. So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thank
