Study outlines how JWST and Ariel could team up on exoplanet atmospheres

Astronomers want to collect as much data as possible using as many systems as possible. Sometimes that requires coordination between instruments. The teams that run the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the upcoming Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (Ariel) missions will have plenty of opportunity for that once both telescopes are online in the […]

Strong correlations and superconductivity observed in a supermoiré lattice

Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré lattice. This characteristic pattern influences the movement of electrons inside materials, which can give rise to strongly correlated states, such as superconductivity.

How a certain form of dark matter may lead to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields

Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields remain poorly understood. Recently, researchers at McGill University and ETH Zurich have described a novel mechanism that may lead to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields. This mechanism, […]

The Hubble tension: How magnetic fields could help solve one of the universe’s biggest mysteries

It’s well established that the universe is expanding, but there’s serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it’s happening.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident: What Killed Nine Young Hikers at Dead Mountain?

Russia’s Dyatlov Pass Incident is one of the creepiest, most mysterious true stories ever told.

In January 1959, during the height of the Cold War, nine young Urals Polytechnic Institute students in their 20s and 30s went hiking in the Ural Mountains. All were experienced hikers and skiers, but none were prepared for what […]

Astronomers trace a star’s three-year infrared glow to black hole birth

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around three years before fading dramatically and disappearing, leaving behind a shell of dust. Although a telescope captured the phenomenon at the time, it […]

Living in space can change where your brain sits in your skull: New research

Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.

Decoding China’s new space philosophy

A major theme in communist governments is the idea of central planning. Every five years, the central authorities in communist countries lay out their goals for the country over the course of the next five years, which can range from limiting infant mortality to increasing agricultural yield. China, the largest current polity ruled by communists, […]

CIA Declassifies Thousands of UFO Documents Ahead of UAP Report

Last year, Senator Marco Rubio created a stir in a June 17 Select Committee on Intelligence report. The Senator from Florida requested a detailed analysis from Navy Intelligence’s “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force.”

Thanks to that request, the task force’s existence went public. Also, we learned of Rubio’s request for a report from […]

Is There a Connection Between Petroglyphs in Georgia and Bronze Age Europe?

Petroglyphs found in Georgia show a possible connection between some of the earliest archaeological sites in the United States and Bronze Age Europe.

Symbols found etched into stone are remarkably similar. At one ancient site in Savannah, Georgia, some also point to possible connections with the Mesoamericans. Nevertheless, today, those sites are obscure and, […]
