AI gives us access to plenty of advice, but we do not make as much use of it as we could

Today, we can easily access information and useful suggestions to support our decisions. But having them is not enough to make better choices: a study by the Universities of Milano-Bicocca and Pavia explains why

Early Universe: the “first hot breath” of the cosmic giants detected

An international team led by the University of Milano-Bicocca, with contributions from INAF, has detected the clearest emission of hot gas around a “radio-quiet” quasar approximately 2.1 billion years after the Big Bang. The results, obtained through 180 hours of observations with the Chandra Space Telescope, reveal the very earliest stages in the formation of the atmosphere that today surrounds galaxy clusters
