Forced to spend their days slamming their tiny skulls into the sides of trees in search of buried pieces, woodpeckers should have developed a trick or two to avoid brain damage. So you would think. A new study of woodpecker biomechanics has cast doubt on speculation that the chisel-headed little bird avoided turning its brains to mush through a fancy shock-absorbing adaptation. On the other hand, his brain may be too small to care. “By analyzing high-speed video of three woodpecker species, we found that woodpeckers do not absorb the shock of impact with trees,” said Sam Van Wassenbergh, a biomechanics researcher from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. Anyone who’s ever seen, or even just heard of, machine gun fire from the woodpecker’s signature beat will appreciate the physics involved. Snapping their heads back and forth at an astonishing 20 times per second, members of some species can experience forces of up to 1400 g. Compare that to the paltry 90 to 100 grams that can cause

Home and Go spoilers to follow for UK viewers. Home and Go will premiere the final scene of Logan Bennett and Jasmine Delaney on UK screens next week. Both characters crashed on Australian screens last month but remain on the air on Channel 5, which currently airs episodes about six weeks behind. In next week’s episode on Channel 5, Logan is seen deep in thought as he paces his office at the hospital. Logan is clearly suffering from an important decision, but soon makes his choice by contacting the army to ask about re-enlistment.

Mac goes to Salt and pours himself a drink, before leaving a voice message for Logan to make sure he’s okay. The next morning, Mac plays Jasmine the voicemail Logan left in response. Logan explains that he can’

The discovery of black holes was the first collision of quantum gravity with general relativity. In 2019, astrophysicists at the University of Western Ontario discovered proof for the direct formation of black holes that need not arise from stellar remnants. The production of black holes in the early universe, which formed from massive seeds aided by the gravitational field immediately after the Big Bang, provided scientists with an explanation for what appeared to be extremely massive black hole anomalies at a very early stage in the history of our universe. Supermassive black holes formed very, very quickly in the early universe over a very, very short period of time and then suddenly, they stopped. Shantanu Basu and Arpan Das from the Western Department of Physics & Astronomy developed an explanation for the observed distribution of mass and luminosity of supermassive black holes, for which there was no scientific explanation before. They concluded that su
