Hubble captures a formation of galaxies neatly lined up
A new Hubble image shows both an interacting galaxy system, and a string of galaxies which happen to line up in a neat procession......»»
Hubble spots the Tucana Dwarf in the dark
A splatter of stars glows faintly at almost 3 million light-years away in this new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Known as the Tucana Dwarf for lying in the constellation Tucana, this dwarf galaxy contains a loose bundle of aging stars at.....»»
A small molecular glue that increases P53 level and suppresses tumor growth in vivo
Molecular glues are typically small chemical molecules that act on the interface between the target protein and the degradation machinery to trigger ternary complex formation. Identification of molecular glues is challenging, and there has been a lac.....»»
Quality control: Neatly arranging crystal growth to make fine thin films
Table salt and refined sugar look white to our eyes, but that is only because their individual colorless crystals scatter visible light. This feature of crystals is not always desirable when it comes to materials for optical and electrical devices, h.....»»
Study finds European attitudes shifted after Ukraine invasion
An ongoing survey captures how the Russian invasion of Ukraine affected attitudes in European countries not directly involved in the conflict......»»
New simulations shed light on stellar destruction by supermassive black holes
Monash University astronomers have contributed to a breakthrough in understanding the dramatic fate of stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies......»»
Hubble spots a cluster of emission nebulae within the Large Magellanic Cloud
A bubbling region of stars both old and new lies some 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado. This complex cluster of emission nebulae is known as N11, and was discovered by American astronomer and NASA astronaut Karl Gordon Henize in 1.....»»
Physicists successfully observe Kibble–Zurek scaling in an atomic Fermi superfluid
The Kibble–Zurek (KZ) mechanism is a theoretical framework introduced by physicists Tom Kibble and Wojciech Zurek. This framework essentially describes the formation of topological defects while systems undergo non-equilibrium phase transitions......»»
New computational methodology to predict the complex formation of interesting nanostructures
Researchers from the group of Prof. Carles Bo at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ-CERCA) have described a computational methodology that simulates complex processes involving different chemical species and diverse conditions. The.....»»
Scientists uncover exciton behavior in van der Waals magnets
A research group led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has uncovered details about the formation and behavior of mobile, microscopic, particle-like objects called "excitons" in a class of materials.....»»
New AI tool captures how proteins behave in context
A fish on land still waves its fins, but the results are markedly different when that fish is in water. Attributed to renowned computer scientist Alan Kay, the analogy is used to illustrate the power of context in illuminating questions under investi.....»»
Hubble rings in a new galactic view
The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is situated in the Perseus Cluster, also known as Abell 426, 320 million light-years from Earth. It's a barred spiral galaxy known as MCG+07-07-072, seen here among a number of photobombing st.....»»
Scottish and Irish rocks confirmed as rare record of "snowball Earth"
A rock formation spanning Ireland and Scotland may be the world's most complete record of "snowball Earth," a crucial moment in planetary history when the globe was covered in ice, finds a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers......»»

We've got all the best Labor Day OLED TV deals neatly rounded up for you to find the one for you. There are big discounts on LG, Samsung, and Sony......»»
Dark Energy Camera probes the Coma Cluster, an inspiration for the theory of dark matter
The Dark Energy Camera has captured an image of the dazzling Coma Cluster, named after the hair of Queen Berenice II of Egypt. Not only significant in Greek mythology, this collection of galaxies was also fundamental to the discovery of the existence.....»»
New analysis of Webb data measures universe expansion rate, finds there may not be a "Hubble tension"
We know many things about our universe, but astronomers are still debating exactly how fast it is expanding. In fact, over the past two decades, two major ways to measure this number—known as the "Hubble constant" —have come up with different ans.....»»
Astronomers find galaxies in denser environments are as much as 25% larger than those in less dense regions
A team of astronomers using a Yale supercomputer have determined for the first time that galaxies in denser environments are as much as 25% larger than their counterparts in less dense regions of the universe......»»
Are Andromeda and the Milky Way doomed to collide? Maybe not
Scientists discovered the Andromeda galaxy, known as M31, hundreds of years ago, and around a century ago, we realized that it had negative radial velocity toward the Milky Way. In other words, eventually, the two galaxies would merge spectacularly......»»
Starvation and adhesion drive formation of keratinocyte patterns in skin, research reveals
Fingerprints are one of the best-recognized examples of pattern formation by epithelial cells. The primary cells in the epithelium are the keratinocytes, and they are known to form patterns at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. While factors aff.....»»
SpaceX announces new private mission on 1st human polar orbit spaceflight
SpaceX has lined up more business for its human spaceflight program with a private launch from Florida that will take its passengers on a polar orbit for the first time......»»
Webb captures new image of gassy baby stars
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a phenomenon for the very first time. The bright red streaks at top left of this June 20, 2024, image are aligned protostar outflows—jets of gas from newborn stars that all slant in the same direction......»»
