Researchers found, Black holes will eventually evaporate due to Hawking radiation, but the event horizon is not as important as previously thought.
New theoretical research from Radboud University's Michael Wondrak, Walter van Suijlekom, and Heino Falcke has shown that Stephen Hawking was partially correct about black holes.

The Finnish Criminal Sanctions Agency (Rikosseuraamuslaitos) has been utilizing virtual reality (VR) programs as part of prisoner rehabilitation since 2019. Now, in collaboration with Virtual Dawn, the agency is launching virtual reality-assisted prisoner rehabilitation. These programs allow prisoners to practice situations they will encounter upon their release from prison.
Previously, VR programs developed by the University of Tampere and the Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS) have been used.
The Academy of Finland's Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering has announced the recipients of the prestigious Academy Research Fellowship funding.

Scientists at Tampere University in Finland have found that different species react to nanoparticles at the molecular level in the same way. The researchers analysed hundreds of nanoparticle exposures and found that different species have a similar epigenetic molecular response to these particles. The newly discovered ancestral defence mechanism, which has been present in our ancestors, explains how cells and organisms adapt to long-term exposure to nanosized materials.

China is dominating the global race for future power, with the country establishing a significant lead in high-impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains, according to a report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). The report, called the Critical Technology Tracker, examines 44 critical technologies spanning defence, space, robotics, energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, advanced materials and key quantum technology areas.
Normal ageing is associated with progressive cognitive decline. But can we train our brains to delay this process? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), HES-SO Geneva and EPFL has discovered that practising and listening to music can alter cognitive decline in healthy seniors by stimulating the production of grey matter.
The researchers followed over 100 retired people who had never practised music before. They were enrolled in piano and music awareness training for six months.
