Photonic Crystals Manipulate Light's Behavior Similar to Gravity - OPP.Today

The heat shock response of cells is a classic model of biological adaptation, part of the fundamental processes of life -- conserved in creatures from single-celled yeast to humans -- that allow our cells to adjust to changing conditions in their environment.…

Flakes of silica “snow” fill the skies of puffy, searing-hot exoplanet WASP-17 b. Catching a glimpse of one of the most common and familiar minerals on Earth rarely merits a headline. Quartz is found in beach sands, building stones, geodes, and gem shops arou…

Air moisture landing on surfaces of materials forms thin, invisible, water films. These films play crucial roles in Earth’s soils and atmosphere as well as in new technologies. A thesis at Umeå Un ...

Exactly when and how to watch the peak of the Orionid meteor shower this Friday and Saturday as "shooting stars" from Halley's comet grace the night sky.

Surface ice in Greenland has been melting at an increasing rate in recent decades, while the trend in Antarctica has moved in the opposite direction, according to researchers.

A new study delves into the enigmatic realm of deep neural networks, discovering that while these models can identify objects akin to human sensory systems, their recognition strategies diverge from human perception.

'Removing humans from the loop provides more time for the research team to analyze their observations and develop new hypotheses to explain the origin of the cosmic explosions that we observe.'

For the first time, an AI system discovers supernova without human intervention

The Fascinating World of Space Telescopes: Explained - OPP.Today

Could data pointing toward a mysterious planet at the edge of the solar system actually suggest it's time to revisit our theory of gravity?

Surface ice in Greenland has been melting at an increasing rate in recent decades, while the trend in Antarctica has moved in the opposite direction, according to researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

Probabilistic diffusion models have become the established norm for generative modeling in continuous domains. Leading the way in text-to-image diffusion models is DALLE. These models have gained prominence for their ability to generate images by training on …

Even the space junk designed with disposal in mind is a polluting presence around Earth, a new study has found. Those chunks of rocket and space station and dead satellites that burn up on atmospheric reentry leave miniscule traces of metal lingering...

Scientists think an asteroid could contain previously unknown elements. Asteroid 33 Polyhymnia appears to be denser than the densest element in the Periodic

Researchers believe that an asteroid in our galaxy is denser than the densest element in the Periodic Table.

Our galaxy is going to collide with its nearest major neighbor 4 billion years from now.

The space age has unintentionally marked its presence on one of the most untouched realms of the Earth – the stratosphere

The rapid changes in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica highlight the urgency of better direct observations and measurements, beyond satellite monitoring and modelling.

The damaged cranium of a Pierolapithecus has been put together virtually and compared with hominids past and present.

It holds that complex natural systems evolve to states of greater patterning, diversity and complexity. "We see evolution as a universal process that applies to numerous systems, both living and nonliving, that increase in diversity and patterning through ti…
