Administrators, officials and lobbyists in the orbit of Nevada’s higher education system shared a common refrain coming out of this year’s legislative session: It could have been worse.

Could gas escaping the gravitational grasp of supermassive black holes be forming "tsunamis" in space?

Every year, dozens of people are killed trying to cross Nevada roadways.

Last Monday, the REvil ransomware gang claimed to have hacked into the University Medical Center's computer network and exfiltrated data belonging to the hospital.

In a new study funded by NASA, astrophysicists used computer simulations to model the environment around supermassive black holes in space. They found that massive, tsunami-like structures, which are essentially massive, swirling walls of gas that narrowly escaped the black hole’s intense pull, could form near these black holes.

UNLV, through its IT team and responsible for managing the network, has worked closely with Visix to carry out this technology strategy with the goal of establishing a single vendor network to serve multiple departments.

Could the gas escaping the gravitational grip of the supermassive black holes form “tsunamis” in space?

Long before the mega skyscrapers that line Las Vegas Boulevard, the LED canopy above Fremont Street and the endless suburbs stretching far beyond downtown, the hotel then known as the Union Plaza stood firmly at the heart of Sin City.

Gas escaping the gravity of supermassive black holes could form a "tsunami" in the universe.
