Rubin Observatory Discovers Fastest-Spinning Large Asteroid Ever Seen
Publicado em 11 de janeiro de 2026
In early 2026, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory spotted an asteroid breaking an extremely fast spin record. Dubbed 2025 MN45, this roughly 0.4-mile-wide rock in the main asteroid belt spins once every 1.88 minutes, making it the fastest-spinning known asteroid over 500 meters across. At 710 meters wide, MN45 is about the size of eight football fields. This record was found in a survey of nearly 2,000 newly discovered asteroids using Rubin's powerful new telescope.

New Inelastic Dark Matter Model Could Bypass Current Limits of Particle Detection
Publicado em 02 agosto 2025A group of physicists at the University of São Paulo’s Institute of Physics has proposed a model of the behaviour of dark matter (DM) in the presence of dark energy (DE) that is compatible with current astronomical observations. A model of inelastic DM can be realised from light-weight particles, which are collectively interacting through the massive vector mediator, and the model is an alternative explanation for DM relics in the universe. Importantly, this framework may have the [...]ver notícia -
Study Reveals Ant Agriculture Began 66 Million Years Ago
Publicado em 07 outubro 2024Ants have been farming fungi for an astonishing 66 million years, a practice that began shortly after the asteroid impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. This catastrophic event created conditions conducive to the rapid growth of fungi, which thrived on the abundant dead plant material. As these fungi flourished, innovative ant species began to cultivate them, leading to an intricate evolutionary partnership that has continued through the ages. Recent research has provided new [...]ver notícia -
Artificial Intelligence and Twitter Could Be Used to Detect Early Signs of Mental Disorders, Says Research
Publicado em 11 abril 2023Work is underway to create anxiety and depression prediction models, using artificial intelligence (AI) and Twitter, one of the world's largest social media platforms, that could detect signs of these illnesses before clinical diagnosis, according to researchers. Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil said that preliminary findings from the model suggested the possibility of detecting the likelihood of a person developing depression based solely on their social [...]ver notícia -
Smartphone Usage Over 3 Hours a Day in Teens May Cause Back Pain, Other Health Issues
Publicado em 07 abril 2023Because of the popularity of smartphones and tablets, as well as the growth of television channels, computer games, and educational applications, children and teenagers are spending more amount of time gazing at screens, sometimes with poor posture, which can lead to back pain and other issues. A study by Brazilian researchers, funded by FAPESP and reported in an article published in the scientific journal Healthcare, identified several risk factors for spinal health, such as looking at [...]ver notícia
