Cornell scientists are making strides in understanding the composition of exoplanets by studying chemical processes within the Earth's mantle. Their focus on basalt-based spectral signatures could potentially reveal the presence of water on planets...

Astronomers have made a fascinating discovery in the vast expanse of space. A neutron star, located thousands of light years away from Earth, has been found to be spinning at an incredible rate of...

The collapse of the Arecibo Observatory's 305-meter telescope in 2020 has been linked to zinc creep, a slow deformation process caused by stress in the telescope's cable spelter sockets. This finding comes from a...

European scientists are working on creating a quantum computer using diamonds and silicon carbide that can operate at room temperature. This project, known as SPINUS, is funded by a €10 million consortium and aims...

Observational surveys have discovered hundreds of luminous quasars at redshifts greater than 6-7. These quasars host supermassive black holes with masses ranging from 10^9 to 10^10 solar masses, challenging current models of black hole...

Newly Discovered Black Hole Closer to Earth Than Milky Way's CenterThe black hole at the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A, has always been considered the closest black hole to Earth. However,...

UCLA chemists have recently challenged a long-standing rule in organic chemistry that has been accepted for a century. This rule, known as Bredt's rule, dictates that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at...

Uncovering a Potential Fifth Force Through Asteroid MissionsThe search for a fifth force continues to intrigue scientists, with the possibility of discovering a previously unknown force to add to the existing four fundamental forces...

An international research team recently made significant discoveries regarding the operation of an iron catalyst used to break down ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen. This breakthrough is crucial for converting hydrogen into ammonia, which...

Mayonnaise, a condiment commonly used in sandwiches and salads, is now being utilized by scientists to study nuclear fusion. The behavior of mayonnaise can transition from elastic to plastic, similar to how materials behave...

Individuals can now be identified by sequencing RNA from individual cells, according to a breakthrough study. While an individual's genome is identifiable, RNA sequences from single cells are like a blurred copy of the...
