Researchers from The Ohio State University have discovered unusually strong magnetic fields in some stars, challenging current star evolution models. This potentially impacts the habitability of nearby exoplanets and could provide valuable insights into the s…
James Webb recently celebrated its first anniversary at work. What science results did it bring? Why graphs of spectra are as great as the nice pictures? How...
The Gemini South telescope has captured a new image of the glowing nebula IC 2220. Nicknamed the Toby Jug Nebula, this object got its name because it looks like an old English jug. But no fun drinking games are happening here. The star at the center is a dyin…
The woman was sat on her porch when she heard a loud "bang" from the roof and a pebble-size rock pinged into her chest. But not everyone is convinced it was a meteorite.
Join the journey as NASA’s Psyche mission team prepares for a targeted Oct. 5, 2023, launch to explore a unique metallic asteroid orbiting the sun between Ma...
Waveguiding scheme enables highly confined subnanometer optical fields. Researchers have pioneered a novel method for confining light to subnanometer scales. This development offers promising potential for advancements in areas such as light-matter interactio…
BESSY II's high-brilliance X-rays can be used to produce microscopic images with spatial resolution down to a few tens of nanometers. Whole cell volumes can be examined without the need for complex sample preparation as in electron microscopy. Under the X-ray…
A recent study published in Nature utilized a new instrument type aboard the Chinese Chang'E 1 and 2 orbiters. The study revealed that the Compton-Belkovich Thorium Anomaly...
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) has announced that three researchers associated with the UAH Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) have discovered a gamma-ray burst (GRB) approximately 2.4 billion light-years away in the constel…
Researchers discovered that an underwater volcano nearly a mile beneath the surface off the Pacific coast of Canada is spouting hot fluid, providing a little...
Bioluminescent bacteria and the Hawaiian bobtail squid have formed a longstanding mutually beneficial relationship. The intricate manner in which the bacteria coordinate their behavior to colonize the squid—utilizing cellular signaling and environmental cues—…
