UC Berkeley astronomers discovered a rogue black hole devouring a star 2,600 lightyears from its galaxy's core — the first ...
The holes and bumps caused by rogue waves can ... developed for quantum physics and recently applied to predict rogue ocean waves are crucial for predicting the stability of nanoscopic layers ...
We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue waves. Our results are now published in Physical Review Letters*.
Being able to forecast enormous rogue waves is also integral to safely designing offshore human-made structures, such as oil and gas rigs, and wind farms. Indeed, knowing just how big ocean waves ...
Hubble spots a rogue black hole ripping a star outside its galaxy’s center in the first known offset TDE, led by Dr. Yuhan Yao's team.
Now, in the real world, astronomers have confirmed the existence of another wandering monstrosity, a rogue black hole cruising through our very own Milky Way Galaxy. In 2022 a team of astronomers ...
The water seemed fine. As he was heading back to shore, the water just below knee-deep and the ocean to his back, he was knocked down by what was likely a rogue wave. "I was just lying ...
Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its home galaxy ripping a star to shreds — providing, for the first time, direct evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.
NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Regina Barber and Emily Kwong of Short Wave about chimpanzee "conversations," oxygen from the bottom of the ocean and how a computer program may warn of rogue waves.
