For the first time, astronomers have detected a radio signal from the massive explosion of a dying white dwarf
When stars like our sun die, they tend to go out with a whimper and not a bang—unless they happen to be part of a binary (two) star system that could give rise to a supernova explosion......»»

Using plasma against toxic PFAS chemicals
Harmful PFAS chemicals can now be detected in many soils and bodies of water. Removing them using conventional filter techniques is costly and almost infeasible. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IG.....»»
Double radio relic and odd radio circle discovered with MeerKAT
During observations of the merging galaxy cluster PSZ2 G277.93+12.34 with the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers have serendipitously detected a double radio relic and an odd radio circle. The discovery was detailed in a pa.....»»
JWST"s MIRI instrument is having problems again
Last week, NASA shared a blog post saying they detected a sensor glitch associated with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). For some reason, the sensor for MIRI's Medium Resolution Spectroscopy (MRS) is receiving less lig.....»»
Gravitational waves from pulsars could be used to probe the interior of the sun
Gravitational wave astronomy is still in its early stages. So far it has focused on the most energetic and distinct sources of gravitational waves, such as the cataclysmic mergers of black holes and neutron stars. But that will change as our gravitat.....»»
