Astronomers discover an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting a nearby ultracool dwarf star
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new Earth-sized exoplanet that orbits an ultracool dwarf star located just 54.6 light years away. The newfound alien world, designated SPECULOOS-3 b, is slightly smaller but much hotter.....»»
Exploring the origin of polaron formation in halide perovskites
Halide perovskites are a class of materials with an underlying structure resembling that of mineral perovskites, but with X sites occupied by halide ions, while their A and B sites are occupied by cations. These materials have various advantageous pr.....»»
iOS 18: iPhone 15 Users Found a Feature That Will Be Helpful in a Pinch
iOS 18 beta testers continue to discover new features lurking within the operating system and the latest one could be helpful in a pinch. While much of the talk about iOS 18 has been about Apple Intelligence and the new customization options, Apple&#.....»»
High-precision measurements challenge our understanding of Cepheids
"Classical Cepheids" are a type of pulsating star that rhythmically brighten and dim over time. These pulsations help astronomers measure vast distances across space, which makes Cepheids crucial "standard candles" that help us understand the size an.....»»
New method enables fast crystal structure analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can dynamically change their conformations depending on their external environment and can, therefore, bind to different compounds. However, they are difficult to analyze. Now, Tokyo Tech researchers have addr.....»»

Sudan food emergency: Local researcher unpacks scale of the disaster and what action is needed
The UN recently warned of the risk of famine in Sudan. The war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed civilians and devastated livelihoods on a massive scale. Around 18 million people are already acutely hungry, includi.....»»
Researchers discover mysterious mini-Neptunes
Researchers discovered mini-Neptunes around four red dwarfs using observations from a global network of ground-based telescopes and the TESS space telescope. These four mini-Neptunes are close to their parent stars, and the three of them are likely t.....»»
Coming in hot: NASA"s Chandra checks habitability of exoplanets
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's (European Space Agency's) XMM-Newton, astronomers are exploring whether nearby stars could host habitable exoplanets, based on whether they emit radiation that could destroy potential conditions for li.....»»
Scientists adapt astronomy method to unblur microscopy images
A team led by researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus has adapted a class of techniques employed in astronomy to unblur images of far-away galaxies for use in the life sciences, providing biologists with a faster and cheaper way to get clearer.....»»
While aiming for massive gas cloud, astronomers spot differences in thickness of Milky Way Galaxy
Space may appear vast and empty, but it's full of cosmological objects that are invisible to the human eye. From our vantage point on Earth, many of these objects fall between astronomers and what they hope to observe, impacting what they find. This.....»»
Astronomers discover parallel disks and jets erupting from a pair of young stars
Most of the universe is invisible to the human eye. The building blocks of stars are only revealed in wavelengths that are outside of the visible spectrum. Astronomers recently used two very different, and very powerful, telescopes to discover twin d.....»»
