"Our modeling showed that the tidal forces acting between these galaxies, alongside their proximity to the massive Virgo cluster of galaxies, played a crucial role in the gas dynamics we observed," Professor Staveley-Smith said.

From Science Daily

"The output of our laser system can be scaled to higher average and peak power, due to the power scalability of ytterbium thin-disk lasers. Employing the system for the accurate detection of pollutants in real time allows deeper insights into greenhouse gas dynamics. This could help address some of the challenges we face in understanding climate change." said Anni Li, PhD student at the MPL.

From Science Daily

While previous simulations were not powerful enough to include all the necessary physics needed to construct a realistic black hole, the Northwestern-led model includes gas dynamics, magnetic fields and general relativity to assemble a more complete picture.

From Science Daily

TASS, citing a source, reported that Zvegintsev’s arrest was linked to an article he wrote on gas dynamics that was published in an Iranian journal.

From Reuters
