New type of bolometer detector for far-infrared telescopes
To study how stars and planets are born we have to look at star cradles hidden in cool clouds of dust. Far-infrared telescopes are able to pierce through those clouds. Conventionally, niobium nitride bolometers are used as the detectors, despite thei.....»»

The Milky Way will probably devour all the tiny galaxies that surround it
The rapid disruption of smaller galaxies suggests they lack a bit of dark matter. Enlarge / An infrared image of one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. (credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/STScI) We are not alone—at least as.....»»
Large exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b, astronomers say
Only two of the more than 5,300 known exoplanets have so far provided evidence of moons in orbit around them. In observations of the planets Kepler-1625b and Kepler-1708b from the Kepler and Hubble space telescopes, researchers discovered traces of s.....»»
Earth may have had all the elements needed for life—contrary to theories that they came from meteorites
For many years, scientists have predicted that many of the elements that are crucial ingredients for life, like sulfur and nitrogen, first came to Earth when asteroid-type objects carrying them crashed into our planet's surface......»»
Measuring the distances to galaxies with space telescopes
One of the James Webb Space Telescope's science goals is to understand how galaxies in the early universe formed and evolved into much larger galaxies like our own Milky Way. This goal requires that we identify samples of galaxies at different moment.....»»
Researchers create first supermirrors in mid-infrared range
An international team of researchers from Austria, the United States and Switzerland have created the first supermirrors in the mid-infrared range. These mirrors are a key technology for many applications, such as optical spectroscopy of greenhouse g.....»»

Nest Cams Can Now Spot Open Garage Doors
For the longest time, I’ve been using a myQ garage door detector to alert me when and if I forgot to close my garage door. It also lets me open and close the door from my phone, but if you’re looking to purely spot if your wife (or any si.....»»
Ghostlike dusty galaxy reappears in James Webb Space Telescope image
It first appeared as a glowing blob from ground-based telescopes and then vanished completely in images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Now, the ghostly object has reappeared as a faint, yet distinct galaxy in an image from the James Webb Space Tele.....»»
Plant points: Researchers say looking beyond the mean is key to understanding plant patterns
When it comes to studying patterns in how bugs damage plants, is it important to know the average amount and type of damage? Or the variation around the average?.....»»
Two methods for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA
Two teams of bio-researchers have developed similar processes for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA. In their papers, both published in the journal Science, the two groups outline their stop-motion-animation-type p.....»»
