Despite their delicious taste, prickly pears pose a challenge for lovers of the fruit. Their sharp, difficult-to-remove spines make them cumbersome to prepare and eat once cut.
To address this, a collaborative effort has been underway for years, aiming to create a 'prickly pear 2.0' that is thorn-free, easy, and practical to consume.
A significant discovery by Valeria Olivares, a physicist at the University of Santiago, and an international team of astronomers, published in Nature Astronomy, reveals a correlation between the surface brightness of hot and warm gas in the central filaments of galaxy clusters.
This finding provides crucial insight into the origin of these gaseous filaments, the primary fuel source for supermassive black holes and star formation.
Thousands of attendees gathered for Lollapalooza 2025, enjoying live performances by Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morissette, Olivia Rodrigo, Mon Laferte, and Tool.
Among the fans, a dedicated group set out with a clear mission: to find out the energy consumption of each act in order to promote sustainability for future editions of the music festival.
