MIT Study Reveals Why Roman Concrete Lasts Thousands of Years
A 2023 study by MIT researchers has shed new light on the lasting strength of Roman concrete, which has supported structures like the Pantheon for nearly 2,000 years. The secret lies in ingredients like pozzolanic volcanic ash and lime clasts, combined using a unique method known as hot mixing. This technique enabled the concrete to heal itself ove...

NASA's TESS Discovers Fastest Disintegrating Planet Ever Seen: What You Need to Know
NASA’s TESS has observed the closest and fastest disintegrating planet, BD+05 4868 Ab, located 141 light-years away. The planet loses a moon’s mass every million years as it is bombarded by its host star. Scientists are examining its massive dust trails, offering rare insights into the composition of terrestrial exoplanets. Researchers from MIT...

Astronomers Discover Unusual X-Ray Oscillations From a Black Hole 100 Million Light-Years Away
A supermassive black hole 100 million light-years away is showing an unprecedented increase in X-ray oscillations, starting from 18-minute intervals and accelerating to 7 minutes in just two years. Astronomers believe a white dwarf, orbiting perilously close to the event horizon, is causing these flashes. The findings offer a glimpse into black hol...
