"The Problem with the Big Bang Theory"
So how exactly did the universe come into existence? "A recent astronomical measurement recorded in a laboratory at the South Pole is causing scientists to revisit their theories..." writes Don Lincoln, a senior scientist at the Fermi National Accele.....»»
SARS-CoV-2 variant detected in dogs and cats with suspected myocarditis
A new study in the Veterinary Record reveals that pets can be infected with the alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2, which was first detected in southeast England and is commonly known as the UK variant or B.1.1.7. This variant rapidly outcompeted pre-exi.....»»
Increase of Sphagnum mosses over wet aapa mires can be detected from Landsat satellite data
Aapa mire is a northern peatland complex type characterized by wet, sparsely vegetated fens in the central part, while margins are dominated by peat mosses. In recent years, the increase of Sphagnum mosses has been observed in many parts of Finland a.....»»
Researcher argues for existence of companion candidate stars to the eclipsing binary Algol
Dr. Lauri Jetsu from the University of Helsinki has analyzed observations of Algol. He argues that Algol has many companion stars which have not been detected from earlier observations. The results have been published in The Astrophysical Journal......»»
Potentially harmful industrial chemicals detected in US fast foods
Chicken nuggets, burritos and other popular items consumers buy from fast food outlets in the United States contain chemicals that are linked to a long list of serious health problems, according to a new study......»»
Scientists find no hint of sterile neutrino
New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory deal a blow to a theoretical particle known as the sterile neutrino. There is no such thing......»»
Breakthrough Listen project releases analysis of previously detected signal
An intriguing candidate signal picked up last year by the Breakthrough Listen project has been subjected to intensive analysis that suggests it is unlikely to originate from the Proxima Centauri system. Instead, it appears to be an artifact of Earth-.....»»
Astronomers Spot First Possible Exoplanet Outside Our Galaxy
A possible Saturn-sized planet identified in the distant Whirlpool Galaxy could be the first exoplanet to be detected outside the Milky Way. From a report: The exoplanet candidate appears to be orbiting an X-ray binary -- made up of a normal star and.....»»
Astronomers may have discovered the first planet outside of our galaxy
Signs of a planet transiting a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy may have been detected for the first time. This intriguing result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, opens up a new window to search for exoplanets at greater distances than ev.....»»
Aquatic fungus has already wiped amphibians off the map and now threatens survival of terrestrial frogs
A water-borne fungus that has led to the extinction of several species of amphibians that spend all or part of their life cycle in water is also threatening terrestrial amphibians. In Brazil, researchers supported by FAPESP detected unprecedented mor.....»»
100s more archaeological sites found on Mexico train route
Mexican experts said Thursday they have detected the ruins of almost 2,500 pre-Hispanic structures and 80 burial sites on just one-sixth of the route of the president's controversial "Maya Train" project on the Yucatan peninsula......»»

Star"s Strange Path Around Black Hole Proves Einstein Right -- Again
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has aced another test. From a report: Following nearly 3 decades of monitoring, researchers have detected a subtle shift in the orbit of the closest known star to the supermassive black hole at the cente.....»»
New giant exoplanet detected with TESS
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new giant alien world. The newfound exoplanet, designated TOI-530b, is only about 17 percent smaller than Jupiter. The finding is reported.....»»
FAST, the World"s Largest Radio Telescope, Zooms in on a Furious Cosmic Source

Over a thousand cosmic explosions detected in 47 days
An international research team led by Prof. Li Di and Dr. Wang Pei from National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) caught an extreme episode of cosmic explosions from Fast Radio Burst (FRB) 121102, using the Five-hundre.....»»
We found a mysterious flashing radio signal from near the centre of the galaxy
In early 2020, we detected an unusual radio signal coming from somewhere near the center of our galaxy. The signal blinked on and off, growing 100 times brighter and dimmer over time......»»
Quantum phase transition detected on a global scale deep inside the Earth
The interior of the Earth is a mystery, especially at greater depths (> 660 km). Researchers only have seismic tomographic images of this region and, to interpret them, they need to calculate seismic (acoustic) velocities in minerals at high pressure.....»»
