Gas flows around the smallest galaxies

Dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxies in the Universe, yet they remain among the least understood. Their shallow gravitational wells make them exquisitely sensitive to the energy released by stars and supernovae, which can drive gas, and the heavy elements it carries, far beyond the visible galaxy.

[School of Engineering PhD Scholarships] Self-supervising Heart AI to Detect Obstruction Without Stress

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, affecting 1 in 500 people. In many patients, the thickened heart muscle intermittently blocks blood flow out of the heart but – in a proportion of patients (up to 35%) - does so only under conditions of physical exertion.
