gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-03-19 01:10:52

Americans’ air is teeming with all sorts of known toxin pollutants—now scientists have found a new one to add to the list. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder detailed their discovery in a study published earlier this month. They sampled agricultural sites in Oklahoma and found clear traces of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in the surrounding air. The health effects of MCCPs on people are still being studied, though countries are already planning to debate whether thes

Scientists in Antarctica Detect Deep-Earth Signals That Defy Known Physics

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-03-19 01:35:49

A balloon-borne experiment over Antarctica, designed to detect cosmic radio waves, has instead picked up bizarre signals that appear to be coming from deep within the ice. These signals challenge our current understanding of particle physics, scientists say. The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment consists of radio antennas flown on NASA balloons 19 to 24 miles (30 to 39 kilometers) over the surface of Antarctica. In recent years, the detector has recorded radio pulses that

I'm standing in a drafty room with several hundred people in London's Truman Brewery, all of us shaking our hands above our heads, woo-wooing our way to the end of another day at SXSW. I won't lie –– I'd hoped something like this would happen at some point during the week. Weird, offbeat moments such as this really separate a fun conference from a boring one.

How the first electric grid was built

The Linear No Threshold model says that there is no safe level of radiation exposure.

Astronomers Just Solved the Mystery of the Universe’s Missing Matter

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-19 05:10:23

Decades ago, astronomers estimated that “ordinary” matter (basically everything that isn’t dark matter or dark energy) makes up 5% of the universe. There was just one problem—they had no idea where most of it was. Astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have tracked down the universe’s “missing” matter. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) indicate that over three-quarters of ordinary matter, officially called baryonic ma

Salesforce study finds LLM agents flunk CRM and confidentiality tests
