As two distant galaxies trade blows in an ancient duel billions of years old, one belligerent has clearly proven itself more ruthless than the other. Each time the galaxies conclude their posturing and charge in for a clash, one of them impales its opponent with a powerful beam of radiation, crippling its ability to form new stars. In cosmic terms, it's the definition of a below the belt blow — and a massive one at that. This lopsided showdown was reported in a new study set to be published in

For the first time, scientists have caught lightning in the act of unleashing a powerful burst of gamma radiation known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Researchers at the University of Osaka led the work—an intimate look at one of the most powerful and mesmerizing natural phenomena on our planet. The work also marks a step forward in the quest to understand how thunderstorms manage to pump out radiation we generally associate with the universe’s most extreme objects: black holes and neu

Around 13.8 billion years ago, a tiny but dense fireball gave birth to the vast cosmos that holds trillions of galaxies, including the Milky Way. But our universe is dying, and it’s happening at a much faster rate than scientists previously estimated, according to new research. The last stellar remnants of the universe will cease to exist in 10 to the power of 78 years (that’s a one with 78 zeros), according to a new estimate from a group of scientists at Radboud University in the Netherlands.

Researchers have found that the universe around us is decaying far more quickly than we thought, thanks to Hawking radiation, the idea that black holes "evaporate" over time due to the quirks of quantum effects. As detailed in a paper to be published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, the scientists from Radboud University, Netherlands, found that the last remains of perished stars could take about ten to the power of 78 years (that's the number one followed by 78 zeroes) to

Whether anything ever lived on Mars is unknown. And the present environment, with harsh temperatures, intense radiation, and a sparse atmosphere, isn’t exactly propitious for life. Despite the red planet’s brutality, lichens that inhabit some of the harshest environments on Earth could possibly survive there. Lichens are symbionts, or two organisms that are in a cooperative relationship. There is a fungal component (most are about 90 percent fungus) and a photosynthetic component (algae or cyan

Your next computed tomography, or CT, scan might be riskier than commonly assumed. A study out today calculates that CT scans are contributing to a substantially greater share of cancer cases than past research has suggested. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, led the research, published in JAMA Internal Medicine. They estimated that out of the millions of people who received CT scans in 2023, over 100,000 would eventually develop cancer in their lifetime. The scientists

Image by Getty / Futurism Cancer Scientists have discovered a wild treatment that they say could protect astronauts from the copious amounts of space radiation they'd be exposed to during trips into deep space. In an effort to find new ways to protect cancer patients from the many side effects of radiation therapy, a group of researchers found that a protein from tardigrades — tiny, practically indestructible "water bears" that have been known to survive the hostile vacuum of space — may be th

Glioblastoma is the deadliest form of brain cancer. Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma have a median survival time of 15 to 18 months, and standard treatments have remained largely unchanged for two decades: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. A recent study, however, claims to have discovered a potential new therapy with a unique approach. Researchers in Los Angeles have developed a way to force glioblastoma cells into a harmless, non-dividing state by combining radiation therapy with fors

The strangely adorable and resilient tardigrade, or water bear, just might hold the key to making cancer treatment a lot more (water-) bearable. That’s because a team of researchers just found evidence that a protein produced by these microscopic creatures could protect our healthy cells from the ravages of radiation therapy. Scientists at MIT, the University of Iowa, and elsewhere conducted the new study, published this Wednesday in Nature Biomedical Engineering. In experiments with mice, the
