This artist’s illustration shows a cross-section of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole near the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Researchers, led by Ruth Daly at Penn State, determined that the black hole is spinning at about 60% of its potential speed.

A supermassive monster lurks at the center of our galaxy, and astronomers have now discovered that it’s spinning so fast it’s warping the very fabric of spacetime into a football shape.According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, mass bends spacetime, a four-dimensional “fabric” that pervades the universe, and the effect is what we experience as gravity. It happens with any amount of mass – you yourself are bending spacetime right now – but it’s barely noticeable until you’re dealing with extremely massive…

The complex molecular structure of spider silk has been successfully copied as scientists spin silk from an artificial gland that mimics nature’s process of producing one of the world’s toughest fibers. Scientists believe this breakthrough is a huge step towards finally being able to produce the highly adaptable and sought-after material that has widespread real-world uses.Researchers from Japan’s RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science andf RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research achieved the feat by taking a new…

Hyundai Motor Group automotive supply division Hyundai Mobis has been working on its rotational e-corner wheel system for several years now. At this year's CES, it's showing off the fruits of that labor. The Ioniq 5-bodied Mobion prototype uses the versatile high-tech wheels to slide, glide and practically dance its way around the floor or parking lot. Forget mere crab walking – this hatch can forego parallel parking and roll laterally into a tight space or do an about-face at the end of a narrow parking aisle. The last…
