Overlooked material in Ryugu and meteorites may explain how water spared ancient chemistry

Asteroid Ryugu and some carbonaceous meteorites, which are thought to have similar origins in the early solar system, are known as chemically “primitive” materials because they preserve the chemical composition of the early solar system remarkably well. Yet these rocks also reacted extensively with water after they formed, transforming many of their original minerals into new ones.

Single molecules could provide the building blocks for future quantum networks

Quantum computers rely on qubits as their units of information. To connect them into a larger network across long distances, they need to transmit quantum information using light.

Ultrathin kagome material opens a route to study unusual quantum states

How atoms are arranged inside materials can influence the behavior of electrons and the resulting electronic states. Kagome lattices, repeating arrangements of atoms forming triangles that share corners (with hexagonal spaces between them), have been linked with the emergence of unusual electronic states.

Dust-shrouded Milky Way star cluster may be nearly as old as the universe

Astronomers have determined that VVV CL001, a metal-poor globular cluster near the center of the Milky Way, is about 13.4 billion years old, making it one of the oldest known star clusters in our galaxy. The cluster lies behind thick clouds of interstellar dust, which made its distance and age difficult to establish. The paper, outlining the methodology for estimating its age and distance, was posted to the arXiv preprint server on Oct. 20. It has been accepted for publication by Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Mars dust may be less abrasive than lunar dust, spacesuit samples suggest

Tucked away among its sensors, cameras and navigation tools, NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance is wearing small swatches of spacesuit material. A rover doesn’t need a spacesuit, but the swatches—each less than a square inch (6.5 square centimeters) in size—serve an important purpose: They’re helping scientists assess the potential damage caused by ubiquitous Martian dust.

Heavy hydrogen in 3I/ATLAS’s methane points to a frigid birthplace

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS carries a chemical clue to conditions in the planetary system of its origin, locked away long before it reached our sun. Its methane signature is unusually rich in heavy hydrogen, suggesting that the comet’s frozen ingredients took shape in an intensely cold environment around another star—or in the cloud that preceded it.

Breaking the ice: Scientists use attracting particles to form an anti-spin ice

In a recent Nature Communications study, researchers have reported the realization of an anti-spin ice, a system that does the opposite of conventional spin ices by breaking the ice rule that governs them.

This oddball reflective lava world is challenging to understand

Among Kepler and TESS’s many surprising exoplanet discoveries are the ultra-short-period (USP) planets. These planets move very quickly and complete an orbit in less than 24 hours. Ancient astronomers thought that Mercury was so fast—it goes around the sun every 88 days—that they named it after the Roman god Mercury, who was the fast-traveling messenger of the gods. They couldn’t have known how sluggish Mercury is compared to the USPs.
