The search for extinct, miniature black holes left over from the Big Bang may be heating up. Just when the trail of such tiny black holes seemed to have gone cold, an international team of scientists discovered clues in quantum physics that could reopen the case. One reason the search for these so-called primordial black … Read more
Zoom in / Introducing the European return cargo vehicle proposed by Thales Alenia Space. Thales Alecia Space The European Space Agency has awarded initial contracts to a German-based startup and one of the continent’s established aerospace companies to develop spacecraft to transport cargo to and from space stations in low Earth orbit. ESA announced the … Read more
Scientists may have learned the story of the little one contact-binary moon asteroid in orbit 152830 Dinkineshwhich was the first space station for NASA Lucy spacecraft. This moonbird may have separated from its larger parent an asteroid when Dinkinesh was sent spinning through space after absorbing and re-emitting sunlight. After launching in 2021, the Lucy … Read more
Using the Euclid Space Telescope, scientists have discovered a staggering 1.5 trillion orphan stars moving through a vast cluster of thousands of galaxies, one of the largest structures in the cosmos. These orphaned stars, torn from their own galaxies, fill the space between the Perseus cluster galaxies with a ghostly blue light. This so-called “inner … Read more
Nearly 80 years after scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory discovered an extremely rare radioactive element called promethium, a team at the lab has published a landmark study on the topic that ORNL says could “rewrite the chemistry textbooks.” Research published in Nature on May 22 marks the first time scientists have revealed key characteristics … Read more
Artist’s impression of the binary system VTFS 243. Credit: ESOL. Calçada CC BY 4.0 Astrophysicists at the University of Copenhagen are helping to explain a mysterious phenomenon in which stars suddenly disappear from the night sky. Their study of an unusual binary star system led to strong evidence that massive stars can completely collapse into … Read more
Image caption, Artwork: It took a full 20 years to send Earthcare into space Article information It launched an advanced joint European-Japanese satellite to measure how clouds affect the climate. Some low level clouds are known to cool the planet, others at high altitude will act as a blanket. The Earthcare mission will use laser … Read more
After two decades of work, the camera at the heart of the future Vera C. Rubin Observatory arrived home last week. It is now perched atop the Cerro Pachón mountain in Chile. This camera is the last major part of Rubin Observatory’s Simonyi Survey Telescope, on which it will be installed after several months of … Read more
Summary: The researchers developed ConVERGD, a tool to precisely manipulate specific cell subpopulations, improving studies of cell diversity. The study demonstrates the utility of ConVERGD by identifying a norepinephrine neuron subpopulation associated with anxiety. This innovative approach could impact research and treatment in a variety of fields. Key facts: A precision instrument: ConVERGD enables precise … Read more
