This morning, a collaboration of scientists with the Event Horizon Telescope initiative is set to unveil a “groundbreaking discovery” about our Milky Way galaxy. The team has provided little details about what they’re announcing, but the mysterious news will be livestreamed at 9AM ET. You may remember the Event Horizon Telescope team from 2019, when the group revealed the first picture ever taken of a black hole’s shadow. Back then, the team showed off an image of a supermassive black hole located in the center of a…

New discovery could improve efficiency for storing renewable energy, making carbon-free fuels, and manufacturing sustainable materials.A team of energy researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has developed a groundbreaking device that electronically converts one metal into behaving like another, allowing it to be used as a catalyst for speeding chemical reactions. The fabricated device, known as a “catalytic condenser,” is the first to demonstrate that alternative materials that are electronically…
