Dark Matter Might Leave A Faint Colour Mark In Light, Say Scientists
Dark matter, though invisible, might subtly alter the colour of light passing through it, according to a new University of York study. Researchers propose that weak particle interactions could create faint red or blue tints, offering a new path for future telescopes to detect dark matter indirectly.

Mathematicians Uncover Science Behind Hula Hooping and Body Dynamics
Mathematicians at New York University have delved into the science behind hula hooping, revealing that body shape plays a crucial role in maintaining the hoop's motion against gravity. Through experiments using miniature robotic models with different body shapes, the team demonstrated that specific physical attributes—such as sloping hips and a c...

First Face Transplant With an Eye Reportedly Does Not Show Any Signs of Rejects After a Year
In May 2023, Aaron James, an electrical lineman, became the first person to undergo a partial face transplant that included an eye. Now, a year later, doctors from New York University Langone Health report no signs of rejection, with blood flow reaching the transplanted eye. However, despite this positive development, James remains unable to see fr...

Here's How AI is Helping Astronomers to Understand Universe's Fundamental Parameters
Artificial intelligence is advancing the field of cosmology by enabling astronomers to determine five fundamental cosmological parameters with remarkable precision. Researchers from the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in New York City have used AI to analyse extensive data from over 100,000 galaxies, observed throug...

US Varsity Staffer Complains About Earning $100K For 'Zero Work'
A Sri Lanka-born New York university staffer has filed a complaint against his varsity for paying him nearly USD 100,000 a year for "zero work" after he felt sick of spending most of his time at work feeding birds and squirrels and watching cricket.
