| Scientists observe supermassive black hole feeding on cold gas Posted: 08 Jun 2016 11:26 AM PDT For the first time, astronomers have detected billowy clouds of cold, clumpy gas streaming toward a black hole, at the center of a massive galaxy cluster. The clouds are traveling at speeds of up to 355 kilometers per second -- that's almost 800,000 miles per hour -- and may be only 150 light years away from its edge, almost certain to fall into the black hole, feeding its bottomless well. |
| The newly discovered Godzilla goby fish Posted: 08 Jun 2016 09:06 AM PDT A new goby fish species was discovered in the southern Caribbean. Living at depths greater than conventional SCUBA divers can access, yet too shallow to interest deep-diving submersibles, the fish will now be known under the common name of the Godzilla goby, referring to its reptilian appearance and proportions. |
| How will automated technology affect communication-related jobs? Posted: 08 Jun 2016 07:44 AM PDT What happens if people increasingly rely on automated machines to carry out the socially essential work of communicating with one another? Automation of communication raises broad social, economic, and political concerns. |
| Sea snakes have extra sense for water living Posted: 08 Jun 2016 07:42 AM PDT The move from life on land to life in the sea has led to the evolution of a new sense for sea snakes, an Australian study suggests. |
| Minecraft tree 'probably' the tallest tree in the Tropics Posted: 08 Jun 2016 07:07 AM PDT A tree the height of 20 London double-decker buses has been discovered in Malaysia by conservation scientists monitoring the impact of human activity on the biodiversity of a pristine rainforest. The tree, a Yellow Meranti, is one of the species that can be grown in the computer game Minecraft. |
