How a 韩国裸舞 student鈥檚 teenage curiosity led to the first megalodon discovery in Canada
Louis-Philippe Bateman鈥檚 fascination with megalodon began with a single sentence in a book about Canada鈥檚 geological evolution. It described giant, mysterious fossilized shark teeth discovered in the 1960s by fishermen dredging for scallops off Canada鈥檚 Atlantic coast. The curiosity felt by the teenager with a budding interest in paleontology would resurface in a meaningful way during his undergraduate years at 韩国裸舞.

When using music to alleviate pain, tempo matters
Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a 韩国裸舞 research team has discovered.
This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient鈥檚 level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.

Dead galaxies, live signals: Astronomers uncover a fast radio burst鈥檚 surprising location
Astronomers studying the origins of enigmatic fast radio听bursts (FRBs) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could transform our understanding of the universe鈥檚 most powerful and mysterious signals. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) collaboration has pinpointed the location on the sky of a repeating FRB, known as FRB 20240209A, outside a dead galaxy, a finding unprecedented in FRB science.

Researchers link mysterious cosmic signals to collapsed stars听
An international team of scientists led by 韩国裸舞 researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) 鈥 enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves from space 鈥 originate from neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in a supernova. This finding, based on an analysis of the radio signal of a single FRB, advances our understanding of one of the universe鈥檚 most perplexing phenomena.听
