Scientists use cutting-edge techniques to study rare atomic systems called hypernuclei shedding light on subatomic forces and neutron stars.
Hollow planets could help find primordial black holes
Small primordial black holes could have consumed the interiors of planets or asteroids, leaving their outer shells intact.
Metasurfaces could shrink spectrometers, transforming how we observe the Universe
Metasurfaces to detect terahertz radiation are making spectrometers smaller, lighter, and more efficient for space travel.
Black hole images deliver a deathblow to alternative theory of gravity
Images of the supermassive black holes wouldn’t have been possible if mimetic gravity was the right recipe for gravity.
Samples recovered from Ryugu asteroid reveal how our solar system formed
An ancient magnetic field drew matter inward and helped form our solar system’s planets, moons, and asteroids.
Fast radio bursts lead scientists to the origins of magnetars
Links to observational data may have revealed the nature of magnetars and the origins of their extreme magnetic fields.
Swirling clouds of axions around neutron stars could help scientists detect dark matter
Dark matter may be gathering in dense clouds around neutron stars, potentially making it easier to observe it from Earth.
Cosmic radiation degrades medications on ISS, posing challenges for deep space missions
Cosmic radiation degrades medications like ibuprofen, highlighting the need for new “space” medicines with modified formulations.
ESO reveals spectacular “Dark Wolf Nebula” in time for Halloween
This image of a dark nebula creates the illusion of a wolf-like silhouette against a colorful cosmic backdrop.
String theory provides a new take on the expansion of the Universe
String theory could reshape our understanding of the Universe’s accelerating expansion and unlock the mysteries of dark energy.
