Major advance in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have developed a super-resolution microscope with a spatio-temporal precision of one nanometer per millisecond. An improved version of their r.....»»
What happens after a merger of massive double white dwarfs?
Double white dwarf (WD) binaries are important gravitational wave sources in our galaxy, and their mass is related to the type Ia supernovae, electron capture supernovae and millisecond pulsars......»»
Tracing the history of water in planet formation back to the interstellar medium
Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark the first detection of water being inherited into a prot.....»»
Astronomers detect what may be a baby planet carving out a home for itself
Astronomers have detected a small, compact source embedded in a gap in the disk surrounding a young star. They believe it is a baby planet in the process of growing......»»
Stereotypes influence whether people buy stocks, study shows
Whether people invest in stocks depends on what they think about stockholders. This is what a team led by Luca Henkel, a member of the ECONtribute Cluster of Excellence: Markets & Public Policy at the University of Bonn, found out. The study has been.....»»
Decline in nutrient load and sea-level rise: Winners and losers in the Wadden Sea
A team of researchers, including Senckenberg scientists Prof. Dr. Ingrid Kröncke and Dr. Anja Singer, has detected a significant decrease in the abundance, biomass, and spatial distribution of characteristic benthic species such as snails, mussels,.....»»
Astronomers detect radio recombination lines of carbon/oxygen ions for first time
A research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has detected radio recombination lines (RRLs) of ions heavier than helium for the first time, using the TianMa 65-m Radio Telescope (TMRT). These lin.....»»
New magnetic cataclysmic variable detected
By analyzing the data from the Spektr-RG (SRG) spacecraft and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have detected a new magnetic cataclysmic variable. The new object, designated SRGE J075818-612027, is most likely of the polar.....»»

Scientists have mapped a secret hidden corridor in Great Pyramid of Giza
The corridor is 30 feet long and likely slopes upward. Where it leads is still a mystery. Enlarge / Map of the known corridors and rooms inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. Evidence of a secret corridor was detected in 2016 behind.....»»
Using light to connect molecules
Molecular clusters are aggregates of molecules that are held together non-covalently, by relatively weak forces. When these clusters are excited, normally one would expect the cluster to simply break apart. However, a fascinating question is whether.....»»
An enormous galaxy cluster warps spacetime in this Hubble image
Much of the universe is too far away for even powerful telescopes to observe -- so researchers make use of a natural occurrence called gravitational lensing......»»
Hubble observes gravitational lens of a massive galaxy cluster
A massive galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus dominates the center of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This image is populated with a serene collection of elliptical and spiral galaxies, but galaxies surrounding the central.....»»
