Heaviest

At some point we’ve all regretted taking too long to make a move on that special someone, but at least there’s comfort knowing we didn’t take a quarter of all time that’s ever passed. That’s how long the sexual tension has been building between two slow-dancing supermassive black holes, whose eventual congress could rock the entire universe.Black holes get it on all the time, and who can blame them – they are, after all, so attractive that even the famously flighty light can’t say no. When two black holes are drawn into…

The merging of two supermassive black holes is a phenomenon that has long been predicted, though never directly observed. One theory put forth by astronomers is that these systems are so massive that they deplete their host galaxy of the stellar material needed to drive their merger. Using archival data from the Gemini North telescope, a team of astronomers have found a binary black hole that provides strong evidence supporting this idea. The team estimates the binary’s mass to be a whopping 28 billion times that of the…

Last year, Italian multinational transport company Iveco launched an electric version of its "iconic" Daily diesel workhorse van. Now the eDaily has gone way beyond its towing capacity to drive into the Guinness World Record books.Iveco launched the electric version of its Daily van platform at the IAA Transportation trade fair in Hanover, and the eDaily then made its UK debut at the 2023 Commercial Vehicle Show at NEC Birmingham in April.The vehicle features a 140-kW electric drivetrain capable of producing 400 Nm (295…

A tiny vibrating crystal weighing little more than a grain of sand has become the heaviest object ever to be recorded in a superposition of locations.Physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich coupled a mechanical resonator to a type of superconducting circuit commonly used in quantum computing to effectively replicate Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment on an unprecedented scale.Ironically, Schrödinger would be somewhat skeptical that anything so large – well, anything at all – could…

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date, probing the boundaries between quantum and classical physics.Particles on the quantum scale can behave in ways that don’t sound possible according to our everyday experience. For instance, it’s perfectly normal for particles to exist in a superposition of two states at once,…

Bits of the stars are all around us, and in us, too. About half of the abundance of elements heavier than iron originates in some of the most violent explosions in the cosmos. As the universe churns and new stars and planets form out of old gas and dust, these elements eventually make their way to Earth and other worlds. After 3.7 billion years of evolution on our planet, humans and many other species have come to rely on them in our bodies and our lives. Iodine, for instance, is a component of hormones we need to control…

The payload capability of India's heaviest rocket LVM3 has been enhanced by up to 450 kg, according to ISRO. The payload capability of India's heaviest rocket LVM3 has been enhanced by up to 450 kg with a successful engine test, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation. The CE20 cryogenic engine indigenously developed for LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark 3) was subjected to a successful hot test at an uprated thrust level of 21.8 tonnes for the first time on November 9, the country's national space agency…

ISRO announced on Thursday that the payload capability of India's heaviest LVM3 rocket has been enhanced by up to 450kg with a successful engine test.

Now, with the heartfelt, heartbreaking psychological drama film set to land on its permanent home of Apple TV Plus tomorrow, the momentum is back on with the film’s second trailer, offering a closer glimpse of what could be in store for Lawrence and co-star Brian Tyree Henry. The feature film debut of director Lila…
