Scientists Find The First True Sugar Ever Detected in Interstellar Space : ScienceAlert
The latest discovery in the galactic center strengthens the Milky Way’s resemblance to a mouth-watering treat. Previously, scientists found an ester called ethyl formate drifting between the stars in the inner regions of the galaxy – a compound that contributes to the distinctive flavor of raspberries. Now astronomers may have found the sugar with which…
I built a CUDA-accelerated black hole raytracer for my master’s thesis – would love feedback and collaborators
After a long time of work, I'm making my master's thesis project public: a CUDA-accelerated numerical relativity raytracer for Schwarzschild black holes that compares seven different integration methods, including two novel integrators I derived specifically for this problem. My thesis was inspired by some of the results in the Nasa, Orbits, Flight Book 1963 What…

For the First Time, a Cell Built From Scratch Grows and Divides
This was where the field had been stuck for some time. Researchers before Adamala had figured out different ways to feed and grow synthetic cells and to replicate their DNA. But cell division is a different beast. A typical cell reorganizes its cytoskeleton — a network of protein fibers that provide structural support — to…

The Sky Today on Monday, July 6: Catch the sparkling Coma Star Cluster
Back to Article List Spread across a large swath of sky, the Coma Star Cluster is visible this evening for several hours after sunset, gorgeous in any optics The Coma Star Cluster is a lovely grouping of bright stars near to (but not containing) the yellowish Gamma Comae Berenices.
