Scientists Use Unique Energy Pulses to Map the Universe

Scientists are using fast radio bursts (FRBs) to locate the universe's missing baryonic matter, which is difficult to detect with traditional methods. Recent discoveries suggest that FRBs can serve as cosmic probes to map the distribution of ordinary matter, helping to solve the longstanding 'missing baryon problem' and improve understanding of cosmic evolution.

Revealing the Faces of Ancient Humans and the Universe's Hidden Matter

This week in science, the mysterious 'Dragon Man' skull has been classified, potentially as a Denisovan, and new studies are shedding light on the universe's 'missing' matter using fast radio bursts. Additionally, research suggests psilocybin can provide long-term relief from depression, and advanced AI models may produce significantly higher carbon emissions. Other highlights include volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and concerns over groundwater depletion in the Colorado River basin.

Ancient Radio Signal, Supernova Ozone Impact, Gamma-Ray Burst, and Earth's Atmosphere Disturbance: Recent Astronomical Discoveries

Astronomers have discovered an eight billion-year-old radio signal, known as FRB 20220610A, which contained an extreme level of energy, equivalent to what the sun releases in 30 years. These fast radio bursts are difficult to study due to their short duration, but they are believed to result from galaxy mergers and could help measure the mass of elements in the universe. The signal was detected using the Australian SKA Pathfinder radio telescope and confirmed as the oldest and most remote example found so far.
