For roughly a century, scientists have known that our Universe is in a constant state of expansion. Known as the Hubble-Lemaitre Constant, in honor of the two astronomers who demonstrated it, this law is fundamental to our cosmological models. The rate at which the Universe is expanding, however, has been revised many times over the…
Scientists may have found a way to destroy cancer cells without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. The approach is called ‘molecular jackhammer’, and it relies on little more than light and a well-established medical molecule. The technique involves using aminocyanine molecules – synthetic dyes already widely used in medical imaging – and stimulating…

In summer 2026, sixteen stadiums across North America hosted matches as part of the FIFA World Cup.

Six of the matches were played at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium,…
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…
Three years before the skyscraper-size asteroid Apophis makes its very close (but safe) flyby of Earth, scientists have already begun charting exactly when and where billions of people can watch it sweep across the sky. Speaking at an “Apophis T-3 Years” workshop held earlier this month at the University of Padua in Italy, retired cartographer…
