For most of modern science, large sections of life's instruction manual have remained unreadable.

AlphaGenome

How Google DeepMind’s AI is unlocking the 98% of our genome science couldn’t read Editor’s Note For decades, the human genome has been described as the ultimate biological blueprint, yet large sections of it — the so-called “non-coding” regions — remained a silent language we could not translate. We understood the individual letters, but the […]

Cloud-9 located approximately 16 million light-years from Earth. Magenta represents VLA radio data detecting hydrogen gas; the dashed circle marks where Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys confirmed the absence of stars, proving this is a starless gas cloud dominated by dark matter rather than a dim dwarf galaxy. Visible objects are background galaxies.

Cloud-9: The Failed Galaxy That Proves Dark Matter Theory Right

Dr. Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, principal investigator of the Cloud-9 discovery. Image credit: Dr. Alejandro Benitez-Llambay How Hubble’s dark matter-dominated gas cloud offers a rare window into cosmic structure In the vast cosmic tapestry where galaxies blaze with the light of billions of stars, astronomers have discovered something profoundly different: a starless ghost. Known as Cloud-9, this
