University of Queensland researchers have created a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturize the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, uses a layer of superfluid helium only a few millionths of a millimeter thick on a chip smaller than a grain of rice.

An international team of astronomers has created the first-ever large-scale maps of a mysterious form of matter, known as CO-dark molecular gas, in one of our Milky Way’s most active star-forming neighborhoods, Cygnus X. Their findings, using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), are providing crucial new clues about how stars formed in the Milky Way.
Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom’s nucleus, using the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule.
A new dataset from the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is now publicly available, opening the door for scientists worldwide to make discoveries in one of the richest molecular clouds in our galaxy, TMC-1.

From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity alters how heat flows through gases and liquids, a potential enemy for spacecraft electronics needing to cool down in extreme environments.
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely low temperatures just slightly above absolute zero (0 K). In 2023, physicists at Columbia University realized BECs comprised of ultracold molecules for the very first time.
The discovery of a possible “super-Earth” less than 20 light-years from our own planet is offering scientists new hope in the hunt for other worlds that could harbor life, according to an international team including researchers from Penn State. They dubbed the exoplanet, named GJ 251 c, a “super-Earth” as data suggest it is almost four times as massive as Earth, and likely to be a rocky planet.
There are certain Pre-Sumerian artifacts, recovered from the archaeological site of Al-Ubaid that offer incredible details about early cultures inhabiting Mesopotamia. At Al-Ubaid, archeological missions have excavated a number of ancient artifacts including statues of what experts describe as humanoid figures with lizard-like characteristics. These artifacts date back to the so-called Ubaid Period of Mesopotamia.  The Ubaid Period lasted from circa 6500 to 3800 BC, and its name derives from Tell al-‘Ubaid where the earliest large excavation of Ubaid period material was conducted. The Ubaidian culture dates back between 4,000 and 5,500 BC, and just as with the ancient Sumerians, the origin of the Ubaid people remains a mystery to archaeologists. We do know, however, that it was the Ubaid Culture which started building large unwalled settlements, mainly characterized by their multi-room rectangular mud houses. This culture is also credited appearance of the first temples of public architecture in Mesopotamia, with a growth of a two-tier settlement hierarchy of centralized large sites of more than 10 hectares surrounded by smaller village sites of less than 1 hectare. Archaeologists firmly agree that it was during the Ubaid Period when society moved towards urbanization. The Ubaid Culture built incredible T-shaped houses, open courtyards, paved streets, and used food processing tools.
Quickly, large unwalled settlements developed into towns. Temples were erected, and people changed their way of life. New technologies emerged, and history began to be written down like never before. Today, thousands of years after the first ancient cities came to life in ancient Mesopotamia, archaeologists are putting together an ancient puzzle which tells an amazing story. Tell Al’Ubaid and the worship of Lizard-like beings Ancient Mesopotamia is rich in history. The ancient people that lived there thousands of years ago left behind numerous clues that offer us a glimpse into the lives of early cultures. At the archeological site of Tell Al’Ubaid, and at the ancient cities of Ur and Eridu, archaeologists recovered a set of mysterious figures that have challenged our understanding of ancient cultures. More than 7,000 years ago, the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia worshiped Reptilian-like beings. Tell Al’Ubaid was first excavated by Harry Reginald Hal in 1919 , as he and his team recovered various male and female figurines were in different postures. Follow-up up excavation performed in 1923, 1924 and 1937 respectively.  Archaeologists excavated a number of artifacts that helped understand this culture, but some items left archaeologists wondering. Interestingly, scholars discovered that most of the figurines appear to be wearing a sort of helmet and have some kind of padding on the shoulders. In addition to having excavated ancient figurines that resemble beings in spacesuits, archaeologists recovered various figurines of what appear to be female beings holding babies suckling milk. However, the being holding the baby is not human, but a reptile; A Lizard-like creature with humanoid characteristics. Some of the figurines excavated in ancient Mesopotamia are represented with elongated heads, almond-shaped eye, and reptilian-like features. What the ancient people of Mesopotamia wanted to represent with these figurines remains a mystery. Archaeologists have been stunned by these discoveries, and no explanation has been given as to why the Ubaid culture made these strange looking figurines worshiping lizard-like creatures. Experts maintain how the postures of the figurines, as well as the fact that they depict female figure breastfeeding, does not suggest that the figurines were ritualistic objects. So, if the figurines were not ritualistic items, what were they used for, and what was ancient mankind trying to tell us? Whatever the ancient people of Mesopotamia wanted to convey with these figurines was surely important. But reptilian beings were not only important for the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia. No matter where we look, we will find similar depictions. Lizard-like creatures have been present in many cultures in ancient cultures, from Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, who were the Aztec and Mayan deities represented in the form of a snake, to ancient petroglyphs located worldwide depicting strange looking beings just like the lizard-like figures in the Ubaid Culture. Were they merely decorative items? The result of imagination? Or did the Ubaid culture really see lizard-like beings walking among them? Three leading European aerospace groups announced Thursday a plan to merge their satellite operations to create a powerhouse for competing in particular against Elon Musk’s Starlink internet system.
Researchers have for the first time created a reconfigurable polariton 2D quasicrystal. The team from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Iceland, the University of Warsaw, and the Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, demonstrated that this unique state of matter exhibits long-range order and a novel type of phase synchronization, opening new pathways for research into exotic phenomena such as supersolids and superfluidity in aperiodic settings.
A supersolid is a paradoxical state of matter—it is rigid like a crystal but flows without friction like a superfluid. This exotic form of quantum matter has only recently been realized in dipolar quantum gases.
By analyzing the data from the HASH database, astronomers have conducted a comprehensive study of nearly 1,500 planetary nebulae in the Milky Way galaxy. Results of the study, published October 15 on the arXiv preprint server, improve our knowledge regarding the physical and chemical properties of these sources.
