Planet collision explains star’s brightening, then dimming
Emissions in infrared shot up, then visible light dropped two years later. Enlarge / Artist's conception of what the post-collision body of material might look like. (credit: MARK GARLICK) Planet formation is thought to.....»»
Plate tectonic surprise: Geologist unexpectedly finds remnants of a lost mega-plate
Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had predicted its existence over 10 years ago ba.....»»
Scientists say that the planet Mercury is still shrinking
New research indicates that Mercury's tectonic shifts are ongoing. We've known since the 1970s that the planet Mercury was, at one point, shrinking as its core cooled. But we didn't know if it was still happening...until now. Scientists from Th.....»»
Hacking Cheap Halloween Toys To Make Awesome Props
Buying cheap toys and ripping the tech guts out of them is a time honored tradition. Here's where and how to get a cheap tiny projector! The post Hacking Cheap Halloween Toys To Make Awesome Props appeared first on Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for M.....»»
The LHC lead-ion collision run starts
The LHC is back delivering collisions to the experiments after the successful leak repair in August. But instead of protons, it is now the turn of lead ion beams to collide, marking the first heavy-ion run in five years......»»
Hubble peers at peculiar Arp 107 pair
This image taken using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) shows Arp 107, a celestial object that includes a pair of galaxies in the midst of a collision. The larger object (left) is an extremely energetic type of.....»»

Earth"s crust, tectonic plates gradually formed, geoscientists find
The Earth's crust continued a slow process of reworking for billions of years, rather than rapidly slowing its growth some 3 billion years ago, according to a Penn State-led research team. The new finding contradicts existing theories that suggest th.....»»
Titanic galaxy cluster collision in the early universe challenges standard cosmology
A collision of two massive clusters of galaxies when the universe was half its current age should not have happened according to the standard theory of cosmology, says a new study by an international group of astronomers, including a physicist at the.....»»
Measuring and predicting collision cross section values for unknown compounds
Researchers at Auburn University are seeking ways to identify unknown compounds using collision cross section (CCS) measurements paired with prediction methods including computational models and machine learning. Their study in the Journal of Mass Sp.....»»
Tesla, Rivian endorse right-to-repair deal covering telematics data
In separate letters sent to the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, Automotive Service Association and Society of Collision Repair Specialists, the two EV makers pledged their support for the tenets outlined in a commitment unveiled in July......»»
New 3D images give never-seen-before views inside New Zealand"s largest fault
Aotearoa New Zealand's largest fault, the Hikurangi Subduction Zone (HSZ), is where the Pacific tectonic plate dives west beneath the Australian plate and underneath the east coast of the North Island......»»
Aging in a housing crisis: Growing numbers of older Australians are facing a bleak future
The collision between an aging population and a housing crisis has left more older people in Australia enduring housing insecurity and homelessness. Our research, released today, explores how the scale of these problems among older people has grown o.....»»

Looking deeper into violent neutron star collisions to find the origins of heavy elements
The gold that makes up your most precious jewelry may have been forged in a violent cosmic collision millions or billions of light years away between two neutron stars. New research seeks to better understand this process......»»
DART asteroid impact created a 10,000-kilometer debris field of boulders
The asteroid-smashing planetary defense mission knocked some large rocks free. Enlarge / The dusty debris from the DART collision dominates this image, but there are boulders present, too. (credit: NASA, ESA, David Jewitt (UCLA)).....»»
Researchers find ancient, high-energy impacts could have fueled Venus volcanism
A Southwest Research Institute-led team has modeled the early impact history of Venus to explain how Earth's sister planet has maintained a youthful surface despite lacking plate tectonics. The team compared the early collision histories of the two b.....»»
Hubble sees boulders escaping from asteroid Dimorphos
Wayward asteroids present a real collision hazard to Earth. Scientists estimate that an asteroid measuring several miles across smashed into Earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs, among other forms of life, in a mass extinction. Unli.....»»
Climate change found to have fostered the rise and fall of the Tibetan Empire from 600 to 800 AD
Results are in from a study led by Dr. Juzhi Hou, Dr. Fahu Chen, and Dr. Kejia Ji (Group of Alpine Paleoecology and Human Adaptation (ALPHA), State Key Laboratory of Tibetan Plateau Earth System, Resources and Environment (TPESRE), Institute of Tibet.....»»
Bigger isn"t always better, IIHS says
An IIHS study found that larger, newer vehicles remain safest for their drivers, but they might increase danger to drivers of older, smaller vehicles in a collision. Midsize choices could offer the best of both worlds......»»
