By analyzing the data from ESA’s XMM-Newton and Gaia satellites, astronomers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) in Germany and elsewhere have detected a new magnetic cataclysmic variable system, most likely of the polar type. The finding was reported in a research paper published March 21 on the pre-print server arXiv. Go to […] Could it be that human existence depends on gravitational waves? Some key elements in our biological makeup may come from astrophysical events that occur because gravitational waves exist, a research team headed by John R. Ellis of Kings College London suggests. Go to Source A team led by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan has succeeded in creating a strong coupling between two forms of waves—magnons and phonons—in a thin film. Importantly, they achieved this at room temperature, opening the way for the development of hybrid wave–based devices where information could be stored and […] Meet the “Cleopatra Of Paracas.” Brien Foerster presents us with further details about the fascinating Paracas skulls from Peru. This time, DNA tests revealed fascinating results performed on a skull that belonged to the Paracas culture. The curious skull was nicknamed Cleopatra because of its unusual shape and obvious traces of red hair. […] The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most enigmatic–if not the most— structures ever created on Earth. Many researchers believe we cannot rule out —entirely— that the Sphinx was built by a culture that predates the ancient Egyptian Civilization, and here is why. (function(d, s, id) { if (d.getElementById(id)) return; var js […] In the largest and one of the most ambitious Hubble Space Telescope programs ever executed, a team of scientists and engineers collected information on almost 500 stars over a three-year period. This effort offers new insights into the stars’ formation, evolution, and impact on their surroundings. Go to Source Iron screws and other so-called ferromagnetic materials are made up of atoms with electrons that act like little magnets. Normally, the orientations of the magnets are aligned within one region of the material but are not aligned from one region to the next. Think of packs of tourists in Times Square pointing to different billboards […] How much fuel can we add to the fire while still maintaining control? Metaphorically speaking, that’s the question one team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has been asking themselves lately. Go to Source Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely used in various applications requiring single photon detection thanks to their attractive performances. Since SNSPDs are thin films of serval nanometers in thickness, they are convenient to fabricate on various substrates and combine with other photonic structures. Go to Source Mayor Eric Adams announced the beginning of a 90-day period in which the city will seek comments and put together a plan to bring gun detection technology to the transit system Go to Source “I know money doesn’t cure this … but it’s the least we can do. It’s just awful, so whatever we can do to support it, we will,” Dave Portnoy said Go to Source When a rare total solar eclipse sweeps across North America on April 8, scientists will be able to gather invaluable data on everything from the sun’s atmosphere to strange animal behaviors—and even possible effects on humans. Go to Source Universe Today has had some fantastic discussions with researchers on the importance of studying impact craters, planetary surfaces, exoplanets, astrobiology, solar physics, comets, planetary atmospheres, and planetary geophysics, and how these diverse scientific fields can help researchers and the public better understand the search for life beyond Earth. Go to Source Solar sails rely upon pressure exerted by sunlight on large surfaces. Get the sail closer to the sun and, not surprisingly, efficiency increases. A proposed new mission called Mercury Scout aims to take advantage of this to explore Mercury. The mission will map the Mercurian surface down to a resolution of 1 meter and, using […] A team of astronomers led by the University of Victoria and Yale University has detected an ancient star system traveling around our galaxy named Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1 (UMa3/U1)—the faintest and lowest-mass Milky Way satellite ever discovered, and possibly one of the most dark matter-dominated systems known.
