Scientists have watched a rare blast of light from a star as it was eaten by a black hole. The unusual “tidal disruption event” was visible in telescopes across the world. It appeared as a bright flare of energy, the closest of its kind ever recorded, at just 215 million light-years away. Such events happen when a star …
Staying up to date with Data Science, whilst filtering the gold from the impurities is imperative for any Data Scientist who is serious about mastering their craft. Ever since I made a pledge to myself about putting out 3 blog post a week, having reliable, inspirational, and effective resources has been paramount to ensuring I …
A team of scientists from Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) together with their colleagues from Austria, Turkey, Slovakia, Russia (MISIS, MSU), and the UK found a way to hydrogenate thin metallic glass layers at room temperature. This technology can considerably expand the range of cheap, energy-efficient, and high-performance materials and methods that can be used …

Quantum mechanics arose in the 1920s, and since then scientists have disagreed on how best to interpret it. Many interpretations, including the Copenhagen interpretation presented by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, and in particular, von Neumann-Wigner interpretation, state that the consciousness of the person conducting the test affects its result. On the other hand, Karl …
