9-06-2023 'Hot Jupiters' may not be orbiting alone Astronomers challenge longstanding beliefs about the isolation of 'hot Jupiters' and proposes a new mechanism for understanding the exoplanets' evolution.
9-06-2023 Breakthrough: Scientists develop artificial molecules that behave like real ones Scientists have developed synthetic molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researcher can now simulate the behavior of real molecules by using artificial molecules.
8-06-2023 Elusive planets play 'hide and seek' with CHEOPS Astronomers have clearly identified the existence of four new exoplanets. The four mini-Neptunes are smaller and cooler, and more difficult to find than the so-called Hot Jupiter exoplanets which have been found in abundance.
8-06-2023 Aviation turbulence strengthened as the world warmed New research shows that clear-air turbulence increased in various regions around the world from 1979 - 2020.
8-06-2023 Chatgpt designs a robot Poems, essays and even books - is there anything the OpenAI platform ChatGPT can't handle? These new AI developments have inspired researchers to dig a little deeper: For instance, can ChatGPT also design a robot? And is this a good thing for the design process, or are there risks?
8-06-2023 New study could help unlock 'game-changing' batteries for electric vehicles and aviation Researchers have revealed the mechanisms that cause lithium metal solid-state batteries to fail. The new insights could help overcome the technical issues with solid-state batteries, unlocking a game-changing technology for electric vehicles and aviation.
8-06-2023 Physicists discover an exotic material made of bosons Take a lattice - a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb - and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells of both lattices, give the top grid a twist so that you can see portions of the lower one through it. This new, third pattern is a moiré, and it's between this type of overlapping arrangement of lattices of tungsten diselenide and tungsten disulfide where physicists found some interesting material behaviors.
8-06-2023 What made the brightest cosmic explosion of all time so exceptional? Last year, telescopes around the world registered the brightest cosmic explosion of all time. Astrophysicists can now explain what made it so dazzling.
7-06-2023 Water molecules define the materials around us A new paper argues that materials like wood, bacteria, and fungi belong to a newly identified class of matter, 'hydration solids.' The new findings emerged from ongoing research into the strange behavior of spores, dormant bacterial cells.
7-06-2023 New study identifies mechanism driving the sun's fast wind Researchers used data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe to explain how the solar wind is capable of surpassing speeds of 1 million miles per hour. They discovered that the energy released from the magnetic field near the sun's surface is powerful enough to drive the fast solar wind, which is made up of ionized particles - called plasma - that flow outward from the sun.
7-06-2023 Autonomous products like robot vacuums make our lives easier. But do they deprive us of meaningful experiences? 'Meaning of manual labor' causes consumers to reject autonomous products.
7-06-2023 Not your average space explosion: Very long baseline array finds classical novae are anything but simple While studying classical novae using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a graduate researcher uncovered evidence the objects may have been erroneously typecast as simple. The new observations detected non-thermal emission from a classical nova with a dwarf companion.
