Exoplanet WASP-69b has a cometlike tail, helping scientists to learn more about how planets evolve

Located 163 light-years from Earth, a Jupiter-sized exoplanet named WASP-69b offers astrophysicists a window into the dynamic processes that shape planets across the galaxy. The star it orbits is baking and stripping away the planet’s atmosphere, and that escaped atmosphere is being sculpted by the star into a vast, cometlike tail at least 350,000 miles […]

Scientists demonstrate the potential of electron spin to transmit quantum information

The spin of the electron is nature’s perfect quantum bit, capable of extending the range of information storage beyond “one” or “zero.” Exploiting the electron’s spin degree of freedom (possible spin states) is a central goal of quantum information science.

Alternating triangular charge density wave domains observed within a layered superconducting compound

A research team consisting of NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science observed charge density waves (CDWs) within niobium diselenide (NbSe2)—a layered compound—at cryogenic temperatures and discovered that they form alternating triangular domains characterized by two distinctive star-shaped and clover-shaped CDW structures.

Located in the area of Terra Meridiani, researchers have spotted three massive ‘Towers’ on the Martian Surface that are so perfectly aligned, that just as the Pyramids of Giza on Earth, these Martian towers seem to mimic the constellation of […]

Research investigates the environment of globular cluster NGC 6355

Using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), Argentinian astronomers have investigated the environment of a galactic globular cluster known as NGC 6355. The study, presented in a paper published May 2 on the pre-print server arXiv, found that the cluster has several extra-tidal features.

DNA testing allegedly proved beyond all reasonable doubt that parts of the skull’s DNA were not HUMAN. Several specialists in Chemistry, Neuroscience and Craniophysiology determined that there is a 90 percent probability that the strange skull is the result of a hybrid being between a human mother and father of […]

‘Lost’ spy satellite orbited Earth undetected for 25 years—until now, scientists say

An experimental spy satellite that was deemed “lost” after eluding detection for decades has finally been found. “The S73-7 satellite has been rediscovered after being untracked for 25 years,” astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell said in an April 29 post on X, formerly Twitter. He says it reappeared on April 25, citing Space Force data.

Solar max is coming—the sun just released three X-class flares

The sun is increasing its intensity on schedule, continuing its approach to solar maximum. In just over a 24-hour period on May 5 and May 6, 2024, the sun released three X-class solar flares measuring at X1.3, X1.2, and X4.5. Solar flares can impact radio communications and electric power grids here on Earth, and they […]
