Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers have detected a new sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a bright G-type star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-3493 b is more than three times […]

Two materials physicists at The University of Sydney have found a possible explanation for the huge amount of molecular hydrogen in space. In their study published in the journal Communications Chemistry, Yuzhen Guo and David […]

Scientists and space explorers have been on the hunt to determine where and how much ice is present on the moon. Water ice would be an important resource at a future lunar base, as it […]

When a planet’s orbit brings it between Earth and a distant star, it’s more than just a cosmic game of hide and seek. It’s an opportunity for NASA to improve its understanding of that planet’s […]

A new University of Kansas survey of distant galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope reveals never-before-seen star formation and black hole growth at “cosmic noon”—a mysterious epoch 2–3 billion years after the Big Bang, […]

A study published in Physical Review Letters outlines a new approach for extracting information from binary systems by looking at the entire posterior distribution instead of making decisions based on individual parameters.This post was originally […]

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a neural network model based on self-attention mechanisms to rapidly predict radiation shielding designs for space reactors.This post was […]

MIT astronomers have discovered a planet some 140 light-years from Earth that is rapidly crumbling to pieces.This post was originally published on this site

Scientists from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, together with scientists from the University of Graz, Kanzelhöhe Observatory, and Columbia University, have discovered how coronal holes—vast magnetic windows in the sun’s corona—launch fast solar wind […]

Prebiotic molecules central to life’s earliest metabolic processes—chemical reactions in cells that change food into energy—may have been born in deep space long before Earth existed, according to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi […]
