AI Reveals Milky Way’s Black Hole Spins Near Top Speed

An international team of astronomers has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) to tease out new cosmic curiosities about black holes, revealing the one at the center of our Milky Way is spinning at nearly top speed. These large ensembles of simulations were generated by throughput computing capabilities…

Ginger vs. Cancer: Natural compound targets tumor metabolism

Looking to nature for answers to complex questions can reveal new and unprecedented results that can even affect cells on molecular levels. For instance, human cells oxidize glucose to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy source necessary for life. Cancer cells produce ATP through glycolysis, which does not utilize oxygen even under conditions where oxygen…
