New research examines how gravity can be reconciled with thermodynamics through the Gravity from Entropy theory. Galaxies, stars, planets, and life emerged as the Universe expanded and became more complex. Yet the second law of thermodynamics says that the total entropy of an isolated system should rise over time, creating a fundamental question: how can [...]

Researchers have identified the most distant dormant black hole known, dating back to the universe’s early history. Astronomers have long relied on brilliant quasars, supermassive black holes actively feeding on surrounding matter, to study the early universe. Yet these luminous objects reveal only part of the story. Now, researchers have detected the most distant dormant [...]DNA carries the instructions for life, but additional molecular systems help determine how those instructions are used. New research in a sea anemone reveals an unexpected role for one of these systems. DNA is often described as the blueprint of life, but a blueprint is only useful if someone knows how to read it. Across [...]London's mayor praised the beavers, who are already having a noticeable impact.The loss of a queen triggers intense battles for power among female wasps, disrupting the colony’s social structure.

According to new research led by [...]
