Chandra X-ray Observatory"s clear, sharp photos help astrophysicist study energetic black holes
When a star is born or dies, or when any other very energetic phenomenon occurs in the universe, it emits X-rays, which are high-energy light particles that aren't visible to the naked eye. These X-rays are the same kind that doctors use to take pict.....»»
AIM algorithm enhances super-resolution microscope images in real time
When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic outside. A new processing technique removes noise.....»»
Starless and forever alone: More "rogue" planets discovered
The Euclid space telescope has discovered seven more rogue planets, shining a light on the dark and lonely worlds floating freely through the universe untethered to any star......»»
The death of Vulcan: Study reveals planet is actually an astronomical illusion caused by stellar activity
A planet thought to orbit the star 40 Eridani A—host to Mr. Spock's fictional home planet, Vulcan, in the "Star Trek" universe—is really a kind of astronomical illusion caused by the pulses and jitters of the star itself, a new study shows......»»
New deep learning model uses video to measure embryonic development
