Radio astronomers are making exciting discoveries using advanced telescopes like the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (Askap) and South Africa’s Meerkat. These instruments detect radio signals, revealing a “universe of low surface brightness” previously unseen. The Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) project maps the southern sky with unmatched sensitivity, producing the most detailed atlas of the southern hemisphere, which will benefit astronomers for years to come. Recent findings include unique celestial objects, such as unstable Wolf-Rayet stars that form ghostly circular structures as they expel material. Supernova remnants, including mystery objects like Terreios, which maintains a near-perfect circular shape,…

Global warming is significantly impacting the automotive industry, particularly in terms of vehicle testing during winter. Automakers like Volvo, based in Kiruna, Sweden, historically relied on prolonged cold winters for effective vehicle testing; however, they are now experiencing unpredictable warm weather, leading to delays in testing and production. Volvo’s testing, which assesses various aspects like brakes and cabin heating, has been hindered due to a lack of snow, and the company is facing reduced efficiency as a result. Volkswagen is encountering similar challenges, with rising temperatures complicating their testing schedules. Both companies utilize cold boxes to simulate winter conditions; however,…
