Exploring Hydrogen Reservoirs in Earth's Crust for a Sustainable Energy Future
Researchers have compiled a list of "ingredients" that could help resource exploration companies locate huge reservoirs of clean hydrogen, a critical element in the transition away from fossil fuels.
Astronomers Capture Groundbreaking Discovery of a Wandering Black Hole Devouring a Star
In a cosmic first, astronomers observed a supermassive black hole consuming a star. This happened outside the core of its host galaxy. The event, named AT2024tvd, occurred 600 million light-years away. Zwicky Transient Facility spotted it. NASA's Hubble and Chandra telescopes confirmed it. The black hole, a million times the Sun's mass, tore the star apart.
