Calçada, CC BY There is always something new and exciting going on in the field of black hole research. Albert Einstein first published his book explaining the general theory of relativity—which postulates black holes—in 1922. One hundred years later, astronomers captured the true image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. In a recent paper, a team of astronomers describes another exciting new discovery: the first “dormant” black hole observed outside a galaxy. I am an astrophysicist who has studied black holes—the densest objects in the universe—for nearly two decades. An inactive black hole is a black hole that does not emit detectable light. Because of this, they are notoriously hard to find. This new discovery is exciting because it provides insight into the formation and evolution of

The findings were published June 22 in JCI Insight. “We believe this is the first time that impaired cardiac metabolism in people has been associated with an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death,” said study senior author Robert Weiss, MD, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School. Medical. “This could open a window for an entirely new approach, a metabolic approach to treat or prevent severe arrhythmias, which are not currently available in cardiology.” Sudden cardiac death accounts for 50% of all cardiovascular deaths in the United States, claiming more than 300,000 American lives each year, according to the American Heart Association. Currently, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) – a small, battery-powered device that is placed in the chest to detect and stop irregular heart rhythms – is the main way to prevent SCD in high-risk patients. The device continuously monitors the heart rhythm and delivers electric shocks, w

The only nearly intact shell of Genyornis has been found. It was discovered by N. Spooner and collected by Gifford H. Miller, South Australia.

Miller Researchers identify ancient bird behind giant prehistoric egg Years of scientific debate has been resolved in Australia about which animal was the true mother of the giant primordial egg. In a recent study, scientists from the University of Copenhagen Their global colleagues showed that the egg could only be the last in a series of rare megafauna known as “death devil ducks”. Consider living next to a bird that weighs 200 kg, is 2 m long and has a large beak. This is the situation of the first people to settle in Australia about 65,000 years ago.
