Hydrogen recombination found to be most plausible explanation for high levels of energy in stellar superflares
Although their primary purpose is to look for exoplanets, observatories like the Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have supplied a vast amount of data on stellar flares, detected with high-precision photometr.....»»
A young Black scientist discovered a pivotal leprosy treatment in the 1920s—but an older colleague took the credit
Hansen's disease, also called leprosy, is treatable today—and that's partly thanks to a curious tree and the work of a pioneering young scientist in the 1920s. Centuries prior to her discovery, sufferers had no remedy for leprosy's debilitating sym.....»»
