[ad_1] If you want to understand a part of Earth’s galactic history, such as whether it passed close to a supernova on its way around our galaxy, you may be able to find the answer in the crystalline structure of a rock, according to the University of Michigan. she studies. …

[ad_1] Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behavior of black holes. The Unruh effect combines quantum physics and the theory of relativity. It has not been possible to measure or observe it so far, but now new …

[ad_1] Sowing the atmosphere with aerosols would not prevent high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from destabilizing low clouds, opening the door to extreme warming Pumping aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, thereby cooling the Earth, is a next-generation method of dealing with climate change. According to …

[ad_1] For over a decade, the phenomenon known as fast radio bursts has excited and bewildered astronomers. These extraordinarily bright but extremely short bursts of radio waves – lasting a few milliseconds – reach Earth from galaxies billions of light years away. In April 2020, one of the explosions was …

[ad_1] An international team of laboratory astrophysicists and astrochemical modellers has shown that glycine, the simplest amino acid and an important building block of life, can form under the harsh conditions that govern chemistry in space. The results were published this week in Nature Astronomy and show that glycine and …

[ad_1] Scientists reported a new optical imaging technology, which uses a glass side coated with gold nanodiscs that allows them to monitor changes in light transmission and determine the characteristics of nanoparticles as small as 25 nanometers in diameter. Current cutting-edge techniques have clear limitations when it comes to visualizing …

[ad_1] Its mission is to understand the links between a planet’s chemistry and its environment by plotting approximately 1,000 known planets outside our Solar System, providing scientists with a complete picture of what exoplanets are made of, how they formed and how they formed. will evolve. The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared …

[ad_1] “At the age of 12-15 I was drawing; I was designing fusion devices. “ David Fischer recalls growing up in Vienna, Austria imagining the best way to cool the furnace used to hold the hot ion soup known as plasma in a melting device called a tokamak. With the …

[ad_1] Georgia Tech lead research scientist Canek Fuentes-Hernandez possesses rigid and flexible large-area organic photodiodes whose performance is comparable to that of silicon-based photodiodes. (Credit: Canek Fuentes-Hernandez, Georgia Tech) The performance of large-area flexible organic photodiodes has advanced to the point where they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon …

[ad_1] Water is more abundant on the Moon than we might have suspected, according to two papers published today in Nature Astronomy that confirm the presence of ice on and near the lunar surface. It’s a push for the prospect of extracting water from the Moon, which can help support …
