Fermi Arcs in an antiferromagnet detected at BESSY II
An international cooperation has analyzed samples of NdBi crystals, which display interesting magnetic properties. In their experiments including measurements at BESSY II, they could find evidence for so called Fermi arcs in the antiferromagnetic sta.....»»
Turkish astronomers discover new short-period pulsating variable star
Astronomers from the Istanbul University in Turkey report the finding of a new short-period pulsating variable star during observations of the field of exoplanet host star XO-2. The newly detected object is most likely a Delta Scuti type variable wit.....»»
Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming looks worse on Linux than Windows

iPhone 14 screen reprieve for Chinese company BOE after cheating incident
Chinese display manufacturer BOE has been given the go-ahead for iPhone 14 screen production, despite having been caught cheating by Apple. The company changed the specs of the displays it was making for the iPhone 13, but this was detected by the C.....»»
Exploring how adding UV treatment to water chlorination can actually increase toxic trihalomethane production
Halobenzoquinones (HBQs), as new emerging disinfection by-products (DBPs), are frequently detected in potable and swimming pool waters. In fact, HBQs are also precursors of other DBPs such as currently regulated trihalomethanes (THMs), which pose a h.....»»

UM study finds microplastic pollution in Flathead Lake
They're in our oceans and rivers. They're in the food we eat and the water we drink. They've even been detected inside the human body. They're called microplastics—particles of plastic so small they can't be seen by the naked eye. While researchers.....»»

Astronomers discover dozens of new variable stars
Using the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope (NOWT), astronomers from China have observed the open cluster NGC 2355 and its surrounding field, searching for variable stars. They have detected 72 new variables in this region. The finding is report.....»»
Magnetic superstructures as a promising material for 6G technology
When will 6G be a reality? The race to realize sixth generation (6G) wireless communication systems requires the development of suitable magnetic materials. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and their colleagues have detected an unprecede.....»»
A Chinese Telescope Did Not Find an Alien Signal. The Search Continues.
Earlier this week China's giant Sky Eye telescope detected signals it thought could be from an alien civilizations. But now there's an update from LiveScience: Dan Werthimer, a Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) researcher at the Unive.....»»
‘Alien’ signal seen by Chinese telescope likely due to radio interference
A signal detected by a Chinese telescope and originally reported as possible evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is almost certainly due to human factors......»»
Chinese Scientists Might Have Detected Signals From Alien Civilizations (Updated)
The team has detected an anomalous transmission using the enormous FAST radio observatory that could be evidence of alien intelligence. The post Chinese Scientists Might Have Detected Signals From Alien Civilizat.....»»
Cosmic "dust" from supernovae hints at how stars are born
New research detected strong polarization from a young supernova remnant. It provided independent and solid evidence that the cosmic dust in the early universe was formed in supernovae. While it's true that supernovae eject and destroy cosmic dust, i.....»»
Astronomers May Have Detected a "Dark" Free-Floating Black Hole
"If, as astronomers believe, the death of large stars leave behind black holes, there should be hundreds of millions of them scattered throughout the Milky Way galaxy," notes an announcement from the University of California at Berkeley. "The problem.....»»
Italy to kill 1,000 pigs in swine fever outbreak
A thousand pigs will be slaughtered after two cases of swine fever were detected on a farm in Rome's Lazio region, officials said Friday, spurring fears of a blow to the country's pork industry......»»

If, as astronomers believe, the deaths of large stars leave behind black holes, there should be hundreds of millions of them scattered throughout the Milky Way galaxy. The problem is, isolated black holes are invisible......»»
Methane emissions detected over offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico
A team of scientists have used satellite data to detect methane plumes from an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first time that individual methane plumes from offshore platforms have been mapped from space......»»
Topological phase detected in spin chains
In some materials, there are phases between which a transition is not possible because they are protected by a certain form of symmetry. Physicists refer to these as topological phases. One example of this is the Haldane phase, named after the 2016 N.....»»
