[ad_1] Scientists have recently made a remarkable discovery about Galaxy NGC 1277, which is located within the Perseus Cluster some 240 million light-years away from us. A group of scientists, led by researcher Sebastien Comeron from IAC and the University of La Laguna (ULL), discovered something fascinating about the Galaxy NGC 1277. Unlike most big galaxies, which have an invisible substance called dark matter, NGC 1277 seems to be an exception as it has none! It's the first time such a massive galaxy, much bigger than our Milky Way, has been found without any signs of dark matter.Unlike other galaxies of its size, it appears to be devoid of dark matter, which normally constitutes around 85% of the matter in the universe. This finding makes NGC 1277 the first Milky Way-sized galaxy kn...

[ad_1] What happens to the body when a human gets heatstroke? How can we protect ourselves in a warming planet? To answer these burning questions, Arizona researchers have deployed a robot that can breathe, shiver and sweat.The southwestern state's capital Phoenix is currently enduring its longest heat wave in history: on Friday, the mercury exceeded 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) for the 22nd day in a row, an ominous demonstration of what's to come in a world impacted by climate change. For humans, such heat represents a potentially lethal threat, one that is still not fully understood. But for ANDI -- a one-of-a-kind humanoid robot at Arizona State University -- it's a lovely day out. "He's the world's first outdoor thermal mannequin that we can routinely take outside and...
