New Scientist's "This week's new questions" column raises two open questions. The first asks why dogs generally follow instructions whereas cats largely ignore them. The second asks whether we will ever build a space telescope that can see as far as the big bang.
The source only poses these questions; it does not provide answers or evidence. The first touches on behavioural differences between domesticated species, while the second concerns the physical and technological limits of astronomy.
Because the source is a questions column, there is no research to summarise. Readers are left with the questions themselves, presumably as prompts for discussion or future investigation.
