Explanation: The most distant object easily visible to the unaided eye is M31, the great Andromeda Galaxy. Even at some two and a half million light-years distant, this immense spiral galaxy -- spanning over 200,000 light years -- is visible, although as a faint, nebulous cloud in the constellation Andromeda. A bright yellow nucleus, dark winding dust lanes, and expansive spiral arms dotted with blue star clusters and red nebulae, are recorded in this stunning telescopic image which combines data from orbiting Hubble with ground-based images from Subaru and Mayall. In only about 5 billion years, the Andromeda galaxy may be even easier to see -- as it will likely span the entire night sky -- just before it merges with, or passes right by, our Milky Way Galaxy.

As US shuts doors to global talent, India must open its own wider
America’s strength has long come from attracting the world’s brightest minds and backing them with deep pockets and bold research institutions. But in a stunning act of self-sabotage, President Donald Trump is dismantling that advantage—visa by visa, budget cut by budget cut. For India, this could be a turning point. For the US, it’s a slow-motion collapse of one of its greatest engines of innovation.Harvard University, long considered a global leader in education and research, has had its authority to enrol international students revoked. Over $2.7 billion in federal research funding has been frozen. MIT has cut back on graduate admissions and laid off research staff. The University of California system is suing to protect funding. Projects in cancer research, climate science, and quantum computing are being disrupted or shut down entirely. Although a federal judge has temporarily blocked the administration’s actions against Harvard, the chilling effect remains. The message to international students and researchers is clear: they are no longer welcome. And it’s not just about visas—this is about dismantling the infrastructure that made the US a science and technology superpower.
Tumblr media
This decline is especially tragic given the historic accomplishments of American research institutions. Public investments in university science have given us not just medical miracles and digital revolutions, but entire industries. Funding for National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation (NSF) helped spawn biotech, cleantech, and nanotech. DARPA grants for defence R&D gave us GPS and the early internet.
These are the roots of the US innovation economy. Undermining them is like ripping out the foundation of a skyscraper mid-construction.More than half of Silicon Valley’s startups had at least one immigrant founder. A third of those were Indian. My research at Duke, Harvard, and UC-Berkeley documented that Indian entrepreneurs have founded more Silicon Valley startups than immigrants from the UK, China, and Taiwan combined. These companies didn’t just create wealth—they created entire industries and hundreds of thousands of American jobs.That pipeline is now shutting down.
Years of restrictive immigration policies, chronic green card backlogs, and now open political hostility have driven away many of the world’s best minds. Enrolment by international students is in steep decline. Top-tier researchers are heading for friendlier shores.Now, Trump is gutting the very universities that have fuelled America’s innovation economy for generations. The same institutions that gave birth to Google, GPS, and gene editing are laying off faculty and cutting lab budgets. NIH and NSF grants—the lifeblood of American science—are being frozen or slashed. And students who once saw the US as the pinnacle of opportunity are looking elsewhere.The economic cost is massive. International students contribute over $40 billion annually to the US economy.
They pay full tuition, rent housing, buy food, and many go on to launch companies and file patents. Research funding supports hundreds of thousands of jobs across every state and underpins the industries of tomorrow.The strategic cost is even greater. America’s lead in artificial intelligence, biotech, and clean energy depends on its ability to attract and retain global talent. Undermining this system doesn’t just weaken universities—it threatens the US’s position in the global economy.And it’s not just the research funding that’s under attack—it’s the people who bring that research to life.
For decades, the US enjoyed the greatest free lunch in the history of education and entrepreneurship as the smartest students from India, China, and across the globe came to study here. They didn’t just learn—they stayed, built companies, and created jobs. Now, Indian students are rethinking whether the US is still the best place to study or build a future. With its increasingly uncertain immigration policies and declining openness, it is no longer the obvious first choice.India, in contrast, is becoming more capable of absorbing and advancing global talent. Its research institutions are demonstrating world-class capabilities. The country has produced affordable vaccines, pioneered frugal engineering, and launched space missions on a fraction of Nasa’s budget.
It has a growing startup ecosystem, access to global capital, and one vital asset China lacks: a democratic system that supports openness, debate, and collaboration.India is not yet ready to replace the US as a global research superpower—but it is well-positioned to inherit the talent and energy America is turning away. But seizing the opportunity will require more than goodwill. India will need to invest in its research infrastructure, improve its regulatory environment, and incentivise public-private collaboration. It will need to create pathways for Indian-origin scientists abroad to return—and for foreign researchers to come. Most importantly, it must treat research not as a luxury, but as a national priority.Trump could help make India great again.

Glory hole + voyeurism for any combination of Oscar/mark/Jenson/Lando pleaseeee
how about all of them? <3
(nsf/w, jendo + oscarmark + landoscar. implied dom/sub, humilliation, glory holes, orgasm denial, etc.)
Jenson drapes a hand at the back of Lando’s head. Cold sweat drips down his back and his eyes open wide, illuminated by the gentle glow of a tableside lamp. It’s vintage, Victorian type, fabric and crystals hanging from thin threads, mimicking the falling rain. It matches the shade of Lando’s cheeks, red with pinkish hues, undertones of warmth and careful reluctance. 
“Look at him, Osc.”
Mark says it so sweetly, but Oscar knows it to be an order. Shifts in place and stares ahead, Lando’s eyes brimming with tears, his mouth open, jaw chiseled by the shadows, Jenson’s hand petting his hair, whispering ‘see? it wasn’t that hard to be obediente’. Someone’s cock fills Lando’s mouth and he is sucking it so diligently, even when there’s defiance in his eyes he’s being so good, bouncing slowly on a dildo Jenson carefully put in place. 
He likes to be full, he said to Mark, winking as Lando frowned, petulant and annoyed. But he does seem to be enjoying this, the cradle of Jenson’s hand on his jaw, the cock he licks with so much enthusiasm, the bouncing that makes him whine. The person on the other side of the hole knocks on the wall, twice. 
“He’s almost there,” Jenson says, jolly, patting Lando’s cheek as if he can feel the stranger’s cock through the layers of Lando’s skin. 
Mark puts a hand on his shoulder, squeezing softly before he reaches to unhook the chain attached to his collar. 
“Go and help him,” Oscar looks up, he can feel his cheeks redden and Mark gently urges him forward. “Go on, pup.” 
Oscar swallows and nods. Lando leans back as Oscar crawls to him. The room suddenly feels nauseatingly small, walls collapsing inwards to press him closer to the cock popping out of the wall. Pink, thick but not too long, leaking steadily but not quite to the point of orgasm. Oscar wraps a hand around it, hears the soft moan from the other side of the wall and turns to look at Mark. 
From his seat Mark nods, palming himself through the fabric of his tailored pants. If he’s like this then Oscar is doing something good. 
He reaches for the cock with his mouth, licks at the tip, the saline tangy taste of precum and sweat, skin and all that comes with it. Oscar treats it as a lollipop, Mark likes it when he does that, looking up and salivating all over him. Mark likes to say he’s a messy pup, pulls his hair and tells him to be more careful, yet he indulges him and lets the saliva drip down his chin as he fucks him. 
Today he has no time to pay attention to this person’s cock like he would with Mark, so he wraps his mouth around it and goes in as deep as he can before he hits the wall. It shivers inside of him, spurring hot cum into his mouth, dripping over his tongue as it pulls back slowly. Oscar turns and finds Lando bouncing on his dildo with his eyes lit like stars, entirely focused on Oscar’s mouth. 
“Kiss him,” Jenson says and Lando nods as he keeps bouncing gleefully. 
Oscar can taste the person’s cock on Lando’s mouth and Lando must taste the cum in his tongue. And must enjoy it, greedily pushing inside Oscar’s mouth, putting a hand on his ass and squeezing gently. 
“Easy, easy, boys,” Jenson splits them apart, pulls Lando to his feet and kisses him. “You still aren’t allowed to come, aren’t you?”
Lando whines. “Please?”
Jenson looks at Mark. They trade cheeky glances, Mark stroking himself slowly as Oscar feels his cock is about to burst. 
“Let them, they were good today.”

Could you do a Lyle x fem reader where he FINALLY gets her in bed after a month of dating?
First time
Pairing: Lyle x female reader
Warnings: smut, MDNI, NSF
A/n: Hey my love thank you for the request 😊 I hope you love it 🤩
In the heart of the city, where the buildings stretched tall and the neon lights painted the streets in a kaleidoscope of colors, there was a quaint little Italian restaurant that seemed out of place. Its red and white checkered tablecloths and the aroma of garlic and tomato sauce spilling from the kitchen offered a warm embrace to anyone who stepped through its doors. This was the setting for the most anticipated night of their young lives: their one-month dating anniversary.
Lyle Wainfleet, a man whose patience was as vast as the universe itself, had waited with bated breath for this moment. The soft glow of the candlelight danced across the face of the female reader, casting shadows that played with the contours of her cheeks and the gentle curve of her lips. Her eyes, a deep shade of brown that seemed to hold secrets of the cosmos, finally met his with a look that spoke volumes. It was time.
Their dinner had been a whirlwind of laughter and shared stories, each moment more intimate than the last. The pasta had been al dente, the wine smooth, and the conversation flowed as freely as the River Styx. Now, as the dessert menu was cleared away, he reached for her hand across the table, feeling the heat of her skin and the pulse of her veins beneath his fingertips. The air grew thick with anticipation as he leaned in, whispering sweet nothings into her ear that sent shivers down her spine. She knew what was coming and she was ready.
They stepped out into the cool night, the city's pulse beating around them like the rhythm of their combined hearts. Lyle's hand was warm and firm around hers, guiding her to his car with a gentle tug that sent waves of excitement crashing through her body. The drive to his place was filled with a tension so palpable it could've been a fifth person in the car, a silent, eager participant in their burgeoning love affair. She could feel the heat emanating from his body, could almost hear the thunderous drumming of his heart matching her own erratic rhythm.
The moment the door to his apartment swung open, the dam burst. They were on each other, a frenzy of hands and mouths and passion. He kissed her deeply, tasting the sweetness of her lip gloss mixed with the faint tang of the wine they'd shared. Her fingers found the buttons of his shirt, fumbling in their haste to reveal the taut muscles beneath. His hands were equally eager, tracing the curves of her body as if he'd been waiting an eternity to map the landscape of her soul through her flesh. Clothes were torn and discarded without a second thought, leaving them standing in a pile of fabric and desire.
He picked her up as if she weighed nothing, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carried her to the bedroom. The softness of his sheets was a stark contrast to the roughness of his need, and she gasped as he laid her down, his body pressing into hers with the promise of what was to come. He kissed a trail from her neck to her navel, each touch setting her skin alight with sensation. When he reached the apex of her thighs, he paused, looking up at her with a hunger that could devour galaxies.
With a growl of passion, Lyle parted her legs and bent his head, his tongue darting out to trace the delicate folds of her sex. She moaned, arching her back, as he tasted her for the first time. The scent of her arousal filled the room, sweet and intoxicating, as he explored her with a hunger that was almost primal. His hands held her hips in a firm grip as he feasted, her legs trembling with the intensity of his touch. She had never felt so exposed, so vulnerable, yet she trusted him with every inch of her being.
He licked and probed, his tongue delving deep inside her, mimicking the motions he would soon make with his cock. Her muscles clenched around him, her body begging for more as she writhed beneath him. He could feel her getting wetter, her juices coating his mouth as he fucked her with his tongue. The reader's hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, urging him on as she neared the brink of climax.
But Lyle was not a man to be rushed. He took his time, savoring the sweetness of her arousal. His cock, already rock hard and pulsing with need, was straining against the fabric of his pants, eager to join in the symphony of pleasure. He slid it out, the cool air hitting it like a slap, making it throb with anticipation. He positioned himself between her legs, the tip of his cock nudging against her wetness. He watched her face, the way her eyes rolled back in her head, the way her mouth formed silent pleas for more, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
With a gentle push, he slid into her, her warmth enveloping him like a warm embrace. She gasped, her nails digging into his shoulders as he filled her completely. He began to move, his strokes slow and measured, his eyes never leaving hers. Her walls tightened around him, clutching him with every thrust, and he felt himself falling deeper into the abyss of their connection. He could see the beginnings of ecstasy in her gaze, but he knew she was holding back, waiting for the moment when he would unleash the full force of his desire.
"Fuck me harder," she whispered, her voice a desperate plea. "I need you to pound me, Lyle."
Her words were like a switch thrown in his mind, releasing the beast that had been lurking beneath the surface of his gentle touch. He complied, his hips snapping forward with more force, the headboard of the bed banging against the wall with each punishing thrust. The sound echoed through the apartment, a primal rhythm that matched the beat of their hearts.
The reader's eyes grew wide, her breaths coming in ragged pants as she took in the newfound ferocity of his lovemaking. Her legs wrapped around his waist, her heels digging into his lower back, urging him to go deeper, faster. The feel of her tightening around him was exquisite, her walls quivering with the beginnings of a powerful orgasm. He could feel her getting wetter with each stroke, her pussy practically begging for the pounding she craved.
And then, as if in response to the silent demand of her body, she felt something give way. A sudden gush of wetness spilled out, soaking the bed beneath her. A squelching sound filled the room with each movement, a testament to her body's surrender to the pleasure he brought her. She had never squirted before, but the sensation was unlike anything she had ever experienced—a mix of shock and pure, unadulterated pleasure. Her cheeks flushed with a mix of arousal and embarrassment, but Lyle's only reaction was a triumphant smile.
He paused for a moment, looking down at her with a glint in his eye, as if to say, "Did you feel that?" Then, with a renewed vigor, he plunged back into her, the sound of her wetness echoing through the room with every thrust. She moaned, unable to hold back the tsunami of pleasure that was building inside her. Her body was his playground, and he knew exactly how to make it sing.
Her orgasm hit her like a meteor shower, each pulse of pleasure lighting up her nerves like stars exploding across the sky. She screamed out his name, her body convulsing around him, the squelching sound of her climax filling the air like the sweetest symphony. Lyle grinned, his own pleasure building, the sight of her losing control pushing him closer to the edge. He felt her pussy clench around his cock, her muscles tightening like a vise as she rode the waves of ecstasy.
But something strange began to happen. As he continued to pound into her, his own sensitivity grew to an unusual intensity. Each stroke, each touch, sent shockwaves of sensation through his body that went beyond the norm. It was as if every nerve ending had been turned up to eleven, making him feel every inch of her, every contraction of her sex, more powerfully than he ever had. He tried to ignore it, to focus on the task at hand, but it was like trying to swim against a raging river of sensation.
With a suddenness that took him by surprise, Lyle felt his orgasm building. It started in his toes, a warm, tingling sensation that worked its way up his legs, into his balls, and up the length of his cock. It grew and grew until it was all he could think about, a pressure building behind his eyes and in his chest that threatened to consume him.
Her eyes widened as she felt his cock swell inside her, his strokes becoming more erratic, his grip on her hips tightening. He was close, so close. She could feel it in the way his body tensed, in the way his breath hitched in his throat. And then it was there, a powerful wave of pleasure that crashed through him, filling her with his hot cum. He roared, his body jerking as he came, his cock pulsing deep within her. She felt every spurt, every drop, as if her body had become a conduit for his ecstasy.

The universe's brightest lights have some dark origins
Did you know some of the brightest sources of light in the sky come from the regions around black holes in the centers of galaxies? It sounds a little contradictory, but it's true. They may not look bright to our eyes, but satellites have spotted oodles of them across the universe.
One of those satellites is NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Fermi has found thousands of these kinds of galaxies since it launched in 2008, and there are many more out there.
Black holes are regions of space that have so much gravity that nothing—not light, not particles, nada—can escape. Most galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers, and these black holes are hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of our sun.
In active galactic nuclei (also called "AGN" for short, or just "active galaxies") the central region is stuffed with gas and dust that's constantly falling toward the black hole. As the gas and dust fall, they start to spin and form a disk. Because of the friction and other forces at work, the spinning disk starts to heat up.
The disk's heat gets emitted as light, but not just wavelengths of it that we can see with our eyes. We detect light from AGN across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from the more familiar radio and optical waves through to the more exotic X-rays and gamma rays, which we need special telescopes to spot.
About 1 in 10 AGN beam out jets of energetic particles, which are traveling almost as fast as light. Scientists are studying these jets to try to understand how black holes—which pull everything in with their huge amounts of gravity—somehow provide the energy needed to propel the particles in these jets.
Many of the ways we tell one type of AGN from another depend on how they're oriented from our point of view. With radio galaxies, for example, we see the jets from the side as they're beaming vast amounts of energy into space. Then there's blazars, which are a type of AGN that have a jet that is pointed almost directly at Earth, which makes the AGN particularly bright.
Fermi has been searching the sky for gamma ray sources since 2008. More than half of the sources it has found have been blazars. Gamma rays are useful because they can tell us a lot about how particles accelerate and how they interact with their environment.
So why do we care about AGN? We know that some AGN formed early in the history of the universe. With their enormous power, they almost certainly affected how the universe changed over time. By discovering how AGN work, we can understand better how the universe came to be the way it is now.

Left: The galaxy's central jets appear as they would if we viewed them both at the same angle. The black hole, embedded in a disk of dust and gas, launches a pair of particle jets traveling at nearly the speed of light. Scientists think gamma rays (magenta) detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope originate from the base of these jets. As the jets collide with material surrounding the galaxy, they form identical lobes seen at radio wavelengths (orange). The jets experienced two distinct bouts of activity, which created the gap between the lobes and the black hole. Right: The galaxy appears in its actual orientation, with its jets tipped out of our line of sight by about 50 degrees. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

How old is Thawne I didn’t know he was a white hair old man
He's several lifetimes old.
He's a time traveler, and especially after Barry's death he's been moving up and down timeline, completing cycles and touching up events this or that way to see what would be the effect in the long term. The timeline we're seeing is the one he picked basically, in which he managed to pull Barry "kicking and screaming" out of the Speedforce after having altered his life deeply enough.
Speedsters don't grow old, in the sense that they look the age they want whenever they want. Eobard explains this himself to some very confused Wally, Jay and Barry in the Rebirth Mini.
Tumblr media
When it comes to the way Eobard looks, the main thing is that it's not exactly consistent. Sometimes he has white hair, which sometimes are long and sometimes are short. Sometimes he's blond, sometimes he's a ginger. Sometimes his eyes are a pretty warm amber like in the picture above, sometimes they're red, sometimes red with a black sclera, and sometimes they're blue.
It's generally assumed that the red eyes and the (sometimes) white hair happened after he became the Negative Speed Force. But then there's Venditti's run, in which he was white haired since he was literally a small kid, so he had to have been born with them
Tumblr media
You need to look closely but his hair is white even as a kid.
But it's important to keep in mind that unlike other speedsters, whose looks tend to stay consistent, Eobard's appearance changes all the time. In my mind's eye when I write him he looks different in every fanfiction and snippet, with some combination of the traits I described, depending on what's happening and in which point in time the fic takes place.
To make you an example, look at how much of a twink he looks in Running Scared by Joshua Williamson:
Tumblr media
But then in The Flash Age he's a seven ft tall hunk of a man built like a four doors wardrobe
Tumblr media
I swear it looks like the suit rips because my mans too big not because it's damaged by the fight. So, see, very inconsistent looks. He changes his appearance all the time, and I like to headcanon that it's because the NSF allows him to and he doesn't have a perfectly stable perception of his physical self.
We don't often see him with his cowl off by the way. That scene in the Rebirth Mini where he takes it off while yelling at Barry is probably the ONLY scene in which he takes the cowl off by his own initiative. He's always very covered up, to the point where Barry doesn't even know that he has numbers tattoed (branded?) on his chest, and we the audience know only through a very brief flashback.
But yeah, most certainly he isn't a white hair old man unless he wants to. In one comic he de-ages himself and looks like a small child of about 8. King can look however the fuck he wants and I love that for him lmao.

The Best Creatine Supplements of 2025: Boost Strength, Size & Performance Naturally
Discover the top 5 best creatine supplements of 2025 to maximize your muscle growth, strength, and workout performance. Expert-reviewed and results-backed.
Why Creatine Is the #1 Supplement for Muscle Growth
If you’re serious about building lean muscle, enhancing strength, or improving athletic performance, creatine should be at the top of your supplement list. Backed by decades of research, creatine monohydrate remains one of the most effective and safest sports supplements available today. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned lifter, choosing the best creatine supplement can make a noticeable difference in your results.
In this article, we’ll break down the best creatine options in 2025, what to look for when buying, and how to take creatine for maximum benefit.
What Is Creatine and How Does It Work?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your muscles. It helps produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency your body uses during short, explosive movements like sprinting and weightlifting.
Supplementing with creatine increases your intramuscular stores, giving you more energy during high-intensity training. The result? More reps, greater strength, and faster muscle growth.
Benefits of Creatine Supplementation
Increases muscle mass
Enhances strength and power output
Improves workout endurance
Accelerates recovery
Supports cognitive function (yes, even your brain benefits)
These effects have been proven in hundreds of clinical studies, making creatine the gold standard in performance nutrition.
Top 5 Best Creatine Supplements of 2025
1. Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate
Type: 100% pure creatine monohydrate Why It’s Great: Micronized for better absorption, budget-friendly, no fillers. Best For: Beginners and serious lifters alike. Price Range: $20–30 for 60 servings
Keyword: Best creatine for beginners
2. Kaged Creatine HCl
Type: Creatine hydrochloride (HCl) Why It’s Great: Requires smaller doses, easy on the stomach, fast absorption. Best For: Those sensitive to bloating or GI discomfort. Price Range: $25–35
Keyword: Creatine HCl vs monohydrate
3. Thorne Creatine
Type: NSF Certified for Sport® creatine monohydrate Why It’s Great: Pure, third-party tested, trusted by pro athletes. Best For: Competitive athletes and clean-label shoppers. Price Range: $35–40

Keyword: Creatine with HMB
How to Choose the Best Creatine Supplement
When picking a creatine supplement, keep these factors in mind:
Type of Creatine: Monohydrate is the most researched, but HCl and buffered types may offer better solubility for some users.
Purity: Look for brands that offer Creapure® or third-party testing.
Form: Powder is cost-effective, but capsules offer convenience.
Additives: Avoid artificial fillers, dyes, or excessive sugars.
Price per Serving: A higher price doesn’t always mean better quality—check the dose.
Keyword Tip: Use search terms like “best creatine for muscle gain” or “pure creatine powder” when researching options.
How to Take Creatine for Best Results
Loading Phase (Optional): 20g per day (divided into 4 servings) for 5-7 days
Maintenance Phase: 3–5g per day consistently
When to Take: Post-workout is ideal, but consistency matters more than timing.
Important: Drink plenty of water and stay consistent. Creatine isn’t a miracle in a scoop—it amplifies your hard work.
Common Myths Debunked
❌ Creatine causes kidney damage 🟢 Not true. Creatine is safe for healthy individuals when taken as directed.
❌ Creatine leads to water retention and bloating 🟢 Partially true. Initial water retention happens inside the muscle, not under the skin. It actually makes you look fuller, not puffy.
❌ You have to cycle off creatine 🟢 False. There’s no evidence that cycling is necessary.
Final Verdict: Which Creatine Should You Buy?
If you’re just starting out, Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine is a no-brainer. For those seeking something more advanced or with added benefits, Transparent Labs Creatine HMB or Kaged Creatine HCl offer great value.
Regardless of which you choose, consistency, training, and nutrition will determine your results. The best creatine supplement is one you’ll take daily and pair with effort in the gym.
Call to Action
Ready to unlock your strength potential? Choose a quality creatine today and take your performance to the next level. 💪

The Once and Future Stars of Andromeda Image Credit: NASA, NSF, NOAJ, Hubble, Subaru, Mayall, DSS, Spitzer; Processing & Copyright: Robert Gendler & Russell Croman
Explanation: This picture of Andromeda shows not only where stars are now, but where stars will be. The big, beautiful Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spiral galaxy a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Image data from space-based and ground-based observatories have been combined here to produce this intriguing composite view of Andromeda at wavelengths both inside and outside normally visible light. The visible light shows where M31's stars are now, highlighted in white and blue hues and imaged by the Hubble, Subaru, and Mayall telescopes. The infrared light shows where M31's future stars will soon form, highlighted in orange hues and imaged by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared light tracks enormous lanes of dust, warmed by stars, sweeping along Andromeda's spiral arms. This dust is a tracer of the galaxy's vast interstellar gas, raw material for future star formation. Of course, the new stars will likely form over the next hundred million years or so. That's well before Andromeda merges with our Milky Way Galaxy in about 5 billion years.

Fruit flies could hold the key to building resiliency in autonomous robots - Technology Org
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Floris van Breugel has been awarded a $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to adapt autonomous robots to be as resilient as fruit flies.
Resiliency in autonomous robotic systems is crucial, especially for robotics systems used in disaster response and surveillance, such as drones monitoring wildfires. Unfortunately, modern robots have difficulty responding to new environments or damage to their bodies that might occur during disaster response, van Breugel wrote in his grant application. In contrast, living systems are remarkably adept at quickly adjusting their behavior to new situations thanks to redundancy and flexibility within their sensory and muscle control systems.
Scientific discoveries in fruit flies have helped shed light on how these insects achieve resiliency in flight, according to van Breugel. His project will translate that emerging knowledge on insect neuroscience to develop more resilient robotic systems.
“This is a highly competitive award on a topic with tremendous potential impact, which also speaks of the research excellence of the investigator and Mechanical Engineering at UNR,” Petros Voulgaris, Mechanical Engineering department chair, said.
This research aligns with the College of Engineering’s Unmanned Vehicles research pillar.
Engineering + flies
The intersection of engineering and flies long has been an interest to van Breugel.
“As an undergrad, I did research where my main project was designing a flying, hovering thing that birds or insects vaguely inspired,” he said. “Throughout that project, I realized that the hard part, which was more interesting to me, is once you have this mechanical thing that can fly, how do you control it? How do you make it go where you want it to go? If it gets broken, how do you adapt to that?”
Van Breugel says he is examining how “animals can repurpose or reprogram their sensorimotor systems ‘on the fly’ to compensate for internal damage or external perturbations quickly.”
Working with van Breugel on the grant are experts in insect neuroscience, including Michael Dickinson, professor of bioengineering and aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology (and van Breugel’s Ph.D. advisor) as well as Yvette Fisher, assistant professor of neurobiology at U.C. Berkeley. Both have pioneered aspects of brain imaging in flies in regards to the discoveries and technology in the field that van Breugel is utilizing in this research project. Also on the project: Bing Bruton, associate professor of biology at the University of Washington, who brings her expertise in computational neuroscience.
The importance of flies in the realm of both engineering and neuroscience stems from the combination of their sophisticated behavior together with brains that are numerically simple enough that they can be studied in detail. This “goldilocks” combination, van Bruegel said, makes it feasible to distill properties of their neural processing into fundamental engineering principles that can be applied to robotics systems. 
As part of the grant, research experiences will be offered to middle school, high school and undergraduate students to participate in both neuroscience and robotics research. Van Breugel and his team also will develop open-source content to help bring neuroscience fluency to engineering students. This aligns with the College of Engineering’s Student Engagement operational pillar.

The Rosette Nebula.
(Text of the web page above)
This composite image shows the Rosette star formation region, located about 5,000 light years from Earth. Data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are colored red and outlined by a white line (roll your mouse over the image above). The X-rays reveal hundreds of young stars clustered in the center of the image and additional fainter clusters on either side. These clusters are labeled in the X-ray only image, where they are more obvious to the eye. Optical data from the Digitized Sky Survey and the Kitt Peak National Observatory (purple, orange, green and blue) show large areas of gas and dust, including giant pillars that remain behind after intense radiation from massive stars has eroded the more diffuse gas.
A recent Chandra study of the cluster on the right side of the image, named NGC 2237, provides the first probe of the low-mass stars in this satellite cluster. Previously only 36 young stars had been discovered in NGC 2237, but the Chandra work has increased this sample to about 160 stars. The presence of several X-ray emitting stars around the pillars and the detection of an outflow — commonly associated with very young stars — originating from a dark area of the optical image indicates that star formation is continuing in NGC 2237 (the outflow and some of the pillars are labeled in a close-up view). By combining these results with earlier studies, the scientists conclude that the central cluster formed first, followed by expansion of the nebula, which triggered the formation of the neighboring clusters, including NGC 2237.Image Credit: X-ray (NASA/CXC/SAO/J.

New DESI results strengthen hints that dark energy may evolve
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument used millions of galaxies and quasars to build the largest 3D map of our universe to date. Combining the DESI data with other experiments shows signs that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time
The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration use the largest 3D map of our universe ever made to track dark energy’s influence over the past 11 billion years. Researchers see hints that dark energy, widely thought to be a “cosmological constant,” might be evolving over time in unexpected ways.
DESI is an international experiment with more than 900 researchers from over 70 institutions around the world and is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The collaboration shared their findings today in multiple papers that will be posted on the online repository arXiv and in a presentation at the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit in Anaheim, California.
“What we are seeing is deeply intriguing,” said Alexie Leauthaud-Harnett, co-spokesperson for DESI and a professor at UC Santa Cruz. “It is exciting to think that we may be on the cusp of a major discovery about dark energy and the fundamental nature of our universe.” 
Taken alone, DESI’s data are consistent with our standard model of the universe: Lambda CDM (where CDM is cold dark matter and Lambda represents the simplest case of dark energy, where it acts as a cosmological constant). However, when paired with other measurements, there are mounting indications that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time and that other models may be a better fit. Those other measurements include the light leftover from the dawn of the universe (the cosmic microwave background or CMB), exploding stars (supernovae), and how light from distant galaxies is warped by gravity (weak lensing).
“We’re guided by Occam’s razor, and the simplest explanation for what we see is shifting,” said Will Percival, co-spokesperson for DESI and a professor at the University of Waterloo. “It’s looking more and more like we may need to modify our standard model of cosmology to make these different datasets make sense together — and evolving dark energy seems promising.”
So far, the preference for an evolving dark energy has not risen to “5 sigma,” the gold standard in physics that represents the threshold for a discovery. However, different combinations of DESI data with the CMB, weak lensing, and supernovae datasets range from 2.8 to 4.2 sigma. (A 3-sigma event has a 0.3% chance of being a statistical fluke, but many 3-sigma events in physics have faded away with more data.) The analysis used a technique to hide the results from the scientists until the end, mitigating any unconscious bias about the data.
“We're in the business of letting the universe tell us how it works, and maybe the universe is telling us it's more complicated than we thought it was,” said Andrei Cuceu, a postdoctoral researcher at Berkeley Lab and co-chair of DESI’s Lyman-alpha working group, which uses the distribution of intergalactic hydrogen gas to map the distant universe. “It's interesting and gives us more confidence to see that many different lines of evidence are pointing in the same direction.”
DESI is one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos ever conducted. The state-of-the-art instrument, which capture light from 5,000 galaxies simultaneously, was constructed and is operated with funding from the DOE Office of Science. DESI is mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (a program of NSF NOIRLab) in Arizona. The experiment is now in its fourth of five years surveying the sky, with plans to measure roughly 50 million galaxies and quasars (extremely distant yet bright objects with black holes at their cores) by the time the project ends.
The new analysis uses data from the first three years of observations and includes nearly 15 million of the best measured galaxies and quasars. It’s a major leap forward, improving the experiment’s precision with a dataset that is more than double what was used in DESI’s first analysis, which also hinted at an evolving dark energy.
“It’s not just that the data continue to show a preference for evolving dark energy, but that the evidence is stronger now than it was,” said Seshadri Nadathur, professor at the University of Portsmouth and co-chair of DESI’s Galaxy and Quasar Clustering working group. “We’ve also performed many additional tests compared to the first year, and they’re making us confident that the results aren't driven by some unknown effect in the data that we haven't accounted for.”
DESI tracks dark energy’s influence by studying how matter is spread across the universe. Events in the very early universe left subtle patterns in how matter is distributed, a feature called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). That BAO pattern acts as a standard ruler, with its size at different times directly affected by how the universe was expanding. Measuring the ruler at different distances shows researchers the strength of dark energy throughout history. DESI’s precision with this approach is the best in the world.
“For a couple of decades, we’ve had this standard model of cosmology that is really impressive,” said Willem Elbers, a postdoctoral researcher at Durham University and co-chair of DESI’s Cosmological Parameter Estimation working group, which works out the numbers that describe our universe. “As our data are getting more and more precise, we’re finding potential cracks in the model and realizing we may need something new to explain all the results together.”
The collaboration will soon begin work on additional analyses to extract even more information from the current dataset, and DESI will continue collecting data. Other experiments coming online over the next several years will also provide complementary datasets for future analyses. 
“Our results are fertile ground for our theory colleagues as they look at new and existing models, and we’re excited to see what they come up with,” said Michael Levi, DESI director and a scientist at Berkeley Lab. "Whatever the nature of dark energy is, it will shape the future of our universe. It's pretty remarkable that we can look up at the sky with our telescopes and try to answer one of the biggest questions that humanity has ever asked.”

UChicago’s Berggren Centre for Quantum Medicine Gets $21M
Tumblr media
UChicago receives $21 million for a quantum engineering and health facility.
The Berggren Centre
The University of Chicago Berggren Centre for Quantum Biology and Medicine will launch a major research endeavour. On June 5, 2025, philanthropist Thea Berggren contributed £16.7 million ($21 million) to this historic project. In order to change the future of medicine, the centre is well-positioned to create a new discipline that blends biological research with quantum technology.
The Berggren Centre uses quantum engineering to peek into the human body in unprecedented ways. Our goal is to unlock previously unattainable insights into biology and illness to develop groundbreaking new medicines and diagnostics.
“The founding of the Berggren Centre is a testament to a strong belief: that the most profound scientific discoveries often arise when we combine disparate fields in daring new ways,” said University of Chicago president Paul Alivisatos. He added that the center's work could change how we view health and illness by combining medicine and quantum engineering.
The centre will benefit from the University's strengths in clinical care, biomedical research, and quantum science due to its position at the prestigious UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME). UChicago PME dean Nadya Mason stressed the center's role in bringing together academics from different departments to set a new standard for patient care. For her creative approach to human health, she thanked Thea Berggren.
The Berggren Centre was founded to promote a new generation of “bilingual scholars” skilled in quantum physics and medicinal research:
Develop innovative quantum instruments for biomedical applications.
Scientists and engineers, these experts can practically apply quantum advances. The generous grant will fund workshops, fellowships, and conferences for multidisciplinary researchers to build an international quantum biology and medicine community. This pledge includes continuous help and endowment monies for sustainability.
This creative endeavour is already being led by UChicago scholars. Professor Alexander T. Pearson, Assistant Professor Peter Maurer, and Professor Aaron Esser-Kahn of Immunoengineering, for instance, are working together to develop quantum-enabled IDs that can track individual immune cells in real time. Thousands of cells could be monitored at once by this technique, providing fresh perspectives on cancer and inflammation and facilitating more individualised, targeted therapy.
The center’s goal is to make sure that quantum innovations are successfully transferred from the lab bench to the patient’s bedside. Using UChicago Medicine’s capabilities in clinical care and biomedical research, this will be accomplished. To create a workforce that can diagnose and treat diseases in new ways, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs Mark Anderson says the centre will support cutting-edge educational initiatives, including a quantum pathway for aspiring and practicing physician-scientists.
The Berggren Centre will be co-directed by Julian Solway, a professor of medicine and the founding head of the Institute for Translational Medicine, and Greg Engel, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and at UChicago PME. Engel and Solway have previously worked together through the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Quantum Sensing for Biophysics and Bioengineering (QuBBE), which seeks to create quantum imaging instruments that go beyond the bounds of classical approaches. With a particular emphasis on increasing clinical effect, the new centre will expand on this basis.
“It’s no easy task to integrate quantum physics and medicine, but it leads to tools and discoveries we never imagined possible,” Engel, whose work focusses on novel approaches to monitor, quantify, and manipulate quantum dynamics, said. In order to better human health, he thinks this gift will help bring together two very different scientific cultures. According to Solway, who has devoted his professional life to creating cooperative structures that would speed up medical research, the Berggren Centre is the next step forward in translational science. Quantum physicists, engineers, and physicians are collaborating to develop a new scientific language that could revolutionise our understanding and management of illness.
When Berggren visited the Atacama Desert, the idea for his present came to him. As she talked to astronomers who were motivated by the idea that quantum mechanics might help shape our future knowledge of the universe, she wondered about another possibility: What if the same quantum concepts were used to explain cellular physiology and disease? Berggren identified the University of Chicago as the perfect location to realise this ambition, calling the potential to revolutionise medicine “extraordinary.”
Although biological systems have historically been believed to disturb delicate quantum states in warm, loud settings, new research indicates that biological entities may potentially take advantage of quantum processes. The center’s research will investigate these possibilities in an effort to find new quantum-biological mechanisms that may be altered to provide therapeutic effects.
A worldwide understanding that the intersection of quantum science and health is a crucial area for 21st-century research is in line with the lofty objectives of the Berggren Centre. By fusing basic biological enquiries with quantum-enabled technology, UChicago hopes to empower researchers and clinicians, resulting in more accurate medicines, earlier disease detection, and ultimately, revolutionary patient care.
The Berggren Center’s founding represents a turning point in the fusion of medicine and physics. The centre will host quantum-enabled therapeutic discoveries thanks to inventive philanthropy, cutting-edge expertise, and strong institutional backing. By emphasising multidisciplinary interaction, training, and clinical translation, it establishes a new framework for bringing together scientific fields to address health challenges and ushers in quantum mechanical precision medicine.
The Berggren Centre is currently making preparations for the next autumn term and is anticipated to open immediately.
