NASA's Pleiades supercomputer simulations suggest the spiral shape is influenced by the Milky Way's gravity. This discovery could redefine our understanding of the solar system's boundaries and ...

At the edge of our solar system, a host of large, icy bodies make up the Oort cloud, which appears to sport two spiral arms reminiscent of a disk-shaped galaxy. New research founded upon a simulation ...

The inner part of the system, between 1,000 and 10,000 AU from the sun, displays a spiral formation with arms that extend 15,000 AU. “As the Galactic tide acts to decouple bodies from the ...

Witness the mastery of four highly skilled twin brothers as they construct a robust spiral feeder designed for industrial use! From shaping to assembling, their expertise ensures durability and ...

Systems biology is the study of biological systems whose behaviour cannot be reduced to the linear sum of their parts’ functions. Systems biology does not necessarily involve large numbers of ...

It isn't necessarily easy to build a 'separates' hi-fi system, where every component (amplifier, speakers and at least one source) is housed in a separate box. You need space, a fair budget and the ...

Commissions do not affect our editors' opinions or evaluations. A stair lift is a home modification that can lower one’s risk of falls and promote safe aging in place for people with limited ...

The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.
