Astronomers find most distant odd radio circle

07 ottobre 2025 Riportato dall'IA

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and powerful odd radio circle, a massive double-ringed radio structure nearly 10 billion years old. Using citizen science and the LOFAR telescope, researchers propose these cosmic rings form from galactic superwinds rather than black hole mergers. The finding challenges existing theories and highlights the role of human pattern recognition in astronomy.

Scientists develop new AI method for dark matter detection

Researchers have introduced an innovative artificial intelligence approach to identify dark matter particles, using data from existing telescopes. This breakthrough could enhance our understanding of the universe's invisible components. The findings were detailed in a study published on September 29, 2025.

Scientists at MIT have created a quantum sensor capable of detecting gravitational waves at room temperature, potentially transforming astrophysics research. The device, detailed in a new Nature study, uses defects in diamonds to measure minute gravitational changes. This breakthrough could enable more accessible detection of cosmic events like black hole mergers.

Strongest Black Hole Collision Detected

Astronomers detected the strongest black hole collision yet on September 11, 2025, resonating with Einstein's predictions. The event involved massive black holes merging, producing significant gravitational waves. This finding was published in a leading science journal, advancing astrophysics.
