A cosmic glitch in gravity may make gravity about 1% weaker across billions of light-years, challenging Einstein’s theory at vast scales.
Space‘Cosmic Glitch’ could explain why gravity acts differently across the UniverseJoseph Shavit
Binary asteroid simulations improve with a Hamel integrator that preserves energy, rotation geometry and computational efficiency.
SpaceAstronomers develop a faster way to simulate the complicated motion of binary asteroidsJoseph Shavit
Remnant radio galaxies reveal how quickly giant black hole jets fade, with many distant examples surviving for only millions of years.
SpaceTwelve fading galaxies expose a missing stage in the life of black hole jetsJoseph Shavit
A CSHL model shows how T cells can learn from limited thymus training and still avoid most self-attacks.
AIThe thymus trains T cells like an AI model to avoid attacking the bodyShy Cohen
GJ 523b is a dense mega-Earth 2.55 times Earth's radius, challenging ideas about how large rocky planets form.
SpaceAstronomers find an ultra-dense mega-Earth 23 times our planet’s mass but only 2.5 times its sizeJoseph Shavit
