Record-breaking 'dark object' found hiding within a warped 'Einstein ring' 10 billion light-years away
Researchers have made an exciting discovery of a suspected clump of dark matter hidden within a luminous halo known as an 'Einstein ring,' located 10 billion light-years away. This remarkable find, the smallest of its kind ever observed, could provide crucial insights into the universe's missing matter, helping scientists understand more about the cosmos and its composition. Such breakthroughs not only advance our knowledge but also spark curiosity about the mysteries that still lie beyond our reach.

Horses can smell fear in humans, researchers say
NeutralScience
Researchers have found that horses can detect fear in humans, as evidenced by tests showing that horses exposed to body odour from individuals watching horror films startled more easily and exhibited higher heart rates compared to those exposed to odours from people watching joyful scenes.
The universe should be packed with tiny galaxies — so where are they?
NeutralScience
Astronomers have observed that the early universe may not contain as many small galaxies as previously predicted, raising questions about the formation and evolution of the cosmos. This discrepancy suggests that the models used to understand galaxy formation may need to be reevaluated.
We're about to simulate a human brain on a supercomputer
