Astronomers propose a new stellar theory to explain the origin of phosphorus
Astronomers have proposed a new theory to explain the origin of phosphorus, one of the elements important for life on Earth. The theory suggests a type of stellar explosion known as "ONe novae" as a major source of phosphorus......»»
Clever trick to cook young stars detected for first time—astronomers highlight magnetic fields as the missing ingredient
The missing ingredient for cooking up stars in the same way you might steam your Christmas pudding has been spotted for the first time by astronomers. Much like a pressure cooker has a weight on top of its lid to keep the pressure in and get your fes.....»»

The New Glenn rocket’s seven powerful engines may light up as soon as today
"Maybe, maybe, maybe today, maybe soon. I think it's very soon." In a widely anticipated test, Blue Origin may ignite the seven main engines on its New Glenn rocket as soon as Thu.....»»
Why don"t more women choose to propose to their male partners?
The Christmas period isn't just for presents, sparkling lights and too much festive food—it's also prime time for couples to get engaged. And for heterosexual couples, this is likely to happen in a specific way. The man will do the asking......»»
Algorithms can determine whether a whiskey is of American or Scotch origin
Two machine learning algorithms can determine whether a whiskey is of American or Scotch origin and identify its strongest aromas, according to research published in Communications Chemistry. The results also suggest that the algorithms can outperfor.....»»
Unveiling the uncharted Milky Way: Completing the galactic stellar map
By peering into the cosmic dance of stars, a team led by researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has unraveled the complex structure of our Milky Way galaxy. Assuming that each observed star represents a larger populatio.....»»
Astronomers detect new 1.9-second pulsar using FAST
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in China, astronomers have discovered a new pulsar with a spin period of about two seconds. The newly detected pulsar, designated PSR J1922+37, was found in the direction of open.....»»
The Backbone One would be an ideal game controller—if the iPhone had more games
It works well, but there still aren't enough modern, console-style games. In theory, it ought to be as good a time as ever to be a gamer on the iPhone. Classic console emulators h.....»»
Distant blazar discovery supports rapid black hole formation in the early universe
Astronomers have discovered an important piece of the puzzle of how supermassive black holes were able to grow so quickly in the early universe: a special kind of active galactic nucleus so distant that its light has taken more than 12.9 billion year.....»»
How to get Essence materials in Infinity Nikki
If you're looking for Essence versions of materials to craft clothing sketches in Infinity Nikki, we'll explain how you can start collecting Essence materials......»»
Survey of 26,000 dead stars confirms key details of extreme stellar behavior
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are slightly puffier than cooler ones, even when they have the same mass......»»
NASA missions spot cosmic "wreath" displaying stellar circle of life
Since antiquity, wreaths have symbolized the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It is fitting then that one of the best places for astronomers to learn more about the stellar lifecycle resembles a giant holiday wreath itself......»»
ALMA observations investigate disk and jet of a massive protostar
Astronomers from Italy and Spain have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a massive protostar designated IRAS 20126+4104. The observational campaign, detailed in a paper published Dec. 9 on the arXiv preprint serve.....»»
Detecting the gravitational wave memory effect from core-collapse supernovae
Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, has passed all tests with predictions that are spot-on. One prediction that remains is "gravitational wave memory"—the prediction that a passing gravitational wave will permanently change the distan.....»»
Blue Origin edges closer to New Glenn rocket’s maiden flight
Blue Origin is set to conduct a wet dress rehearsal ahead of the inaugural flight of the New Glenn rocket, which it wants to perform before the end of the year......»»

Scientists propose strategy for increasing rice yield while reducing fertilizer use
Researchers from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences (RCEES) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a sustainable technology to selectively reduce nitrate to ammonium. This innovation delivers three benefits: It increases ri.....»»
Rapid evolution: African clawed frog sex determination challenges prevailing theory
Researchers at McMaster University have uncovered unexpected diversity in the genetic processes that determine the sex of the African clawed frog, a significant discovery in what was already one of the most widely studied amphibians in the world......»»
Does the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b have an atmosphere after all?
TRAPPIST-1 b is one of seven rocky planets orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1, located 40 light-years away. The planetary system is unique because it allows astronomers to study seven Earth-like planets from relatively close range, with three of them in th.....»»
JWST uncovers massive grand-design spiral galaxy in early universe
Indian astronomers report the detection of a new grand-design galaxy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The newfound galaxy, which received designation A2744-GDSp-z4, is relatively large and massive. The finding was detailed in a paper publi.....»»
