Researcher investigates undocumented prehistoric languages through irregularities in current languages
Language can be a time machine—we can learn from ancient texts how our ancestors interacted with the world around them. But can language also teach us something about people whose language has been lost? Ph.D. candidate Anthony Jakob investigated w.....»»
"Sandwich" discovery offers new explanation for planet formation
Scientists have made a new discovery on how small planets might form. Researchers at the University of Warwick investigated the "birth environment" of planets—areas of gas and dust that swirl around a central star—known as the protoplanetary disk.....»»
Webb identifies the earliest strands of the cosmic web
Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. They gather together not only into clusters, but into vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between. This "cosmic web" started out tenuous and became more dis.....»»

Probe launched after emergency services across the UK reported 999 calls were failing to connect on Sunday......»»
"Smiling cat" Sh2-284 nebula captured in new image
This cloud of orange and red, part of the Sh2-284 nebula, is shown here in spectacular detail using data from the VLT Survey Telescope, hosted by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). This nebula is teeming with young stars, as gas and dust within.....»»
Host genetics shown to play a significant role in the composition of switchgrass root microbiomes
Plants provide a home for a wide diversity of microbes, especially in their roots. In turn, these communities can provide important benefits for the host. A study published in Current Biology investigated how the genetics of host plants determine the.....»»
Team improves spectral analysis and measurement of X-ray crystal spectroscopy for future fusion reactors
A research team led by Prof. Lyu Bo from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has improved the diagnostic accuracy of X-ray Crystal Spectroscopy (XCS) and investigated a series of fusion reactor-related spectral.....»»
Researchers identify molecular mechanism of cancer invasion
A cancerous tumor is the accumulation of cells uncontrollably dividing, some of which can invade other parts of the body. The process is difficult to predict in detail, and eradicating the cells poses even greater difficulty......»»
Leaked cases show off iPhone 15 Pro design changes in detail
Newly leaked images and a video purportedly of a case for the forthcoming iPhone 15 Pro appear to show many very small alterations to the size and position of controls.A smaller cutout in this purported iPhone 15 Pro case backs up claims of an 'Actio.....»»
New millisecond pulsar detected with FAST
Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), a team of Chinese astronomers has detected a new millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster Messier 53. The finding is reported in a research paper published June 16 on the pre-p.....»»
Hubble glimpses globular cluster NGC 6544
The teeming stars of the globular cluster NGC 6544 glisten in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This cluster of tightly bound stars lies more than 8,000 light-years away from Earth and is, like all globular clusters, a densely popu.....»»
Uncovering online sales of Australian invertebrates
In the first study of its kind, researchers from the University of Adelaide have investigated the level of online trade in invertebrates in Australia and believe they have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg......»»
Capable of running Diablo 4, this HP Gaming PC is discounted to $480
The HP Victus 15L is a basic gaming PC but if you don't mind playing games on minimum detail level, it'll do the job and at a great price......»»
Astronomers explore the properties of ultra-diffuse galaxy UGC 9050-Dw1
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have investigated an ultra-diffuse galaxy known as UGC 9050-Dw1. Results of the study, published June 9 on the pre-print server arXiv, yield important insights into.....»»

Metal nanoclusters are tunable for many applications from catalysis to biomedicine, says study
In a recent comprehensive review article, researchers from the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, discuss the unique properties of nanometer-size metal clusters that make them suitable for various applications in catalysis,.....»»
Exploring gravity"s effect on quantum spins
A joint research group led by Prof. Sheng Dong and Prof. Lu Zhengtian from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), investigated the coupling effect between neutron spin and gravitational forc.....»»
Study investigates how young fish ingest plastic
In a new study, marine biologist Carolin Müller of the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) demonstrates the ingestion of microplastic particles by juvenile sea bream. She also investigated which environmental factors determine whether.....»»
Astronomers investigate the true nature of quasar SDSS J0823+2418 with VODKA
By conducting Varstrometry for Off-nucleus and Dual sub-Kpc AGN (VODKA), astronomers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and elsewhere, have investigated a quasar known as SDSS J0823+2418. The study, published June 6 on the pre-print.....»»
Astronomers discover supernova explosion through rare "cosmic magnifying glasses"
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, time and space are fused together in a quantity known as spacetime. The theory suggests that massive objects, like a galaxy or galaxy clusters, can cause spacetime to curve......»»
