Deep in the vast steppes of Central Asia, archaeologists have uncovered a remarkable ancient structure—a pyramid over 3,000 years old. A new study reveals surprising links between genetically predicted height and heart, metabolic, and mental health. The bond between humans and their pets is one of unwavering loyalty, e

Repeating radio signals lead UMW astronomers to a rare binary white dwarf star system
3+ week, 1+ day ago (1161+ words) Scientists including UWM Professor David Kaplan have determined the identity of a long-period radio transient to be a white dwarf accreting material from its neighboring star, as illustrated in the graphic above. (CREDIT: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss) A strange radio signal…...
Rapidly spinning stars could solve a longstanding black hole flare mystery
3+ week, 2+ day ago (1257+ words) This computer-simulated image shows gas from a tidally shredded star falling into a black hole. Astronomers observed the flare in ultraviolet light using NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer. (CREDIT: NASA/ S. Gezari (JHU)/ J. Guillochon (UCSC)) A star can skim dangerously…...
Helix Nebula reveals what happens to material shed by a dying star
4+ week, 1+ day ago (1202+ words) Color representation of the Helix Nebula. (CREDIT: Pieter van Dokkum et al, Nature) The Helix Nebula is shedding more than a spectacular glow. Far beyond its bright central ring, fragments from a dying star are being torn apart as they…...
A hidden cosmic filter may decide which interstellar objects reach our solar system
3+ day, 9+ hour ago (1128+ words) Cosmic rays may erode icy interstellar objects far faster than expected, suggesting ‘Oumuamua could once have been much larger. (CREDIT: Credit: European Southern Observatory/M. Kornmesser/ NASA) Interstellar space may look empty, but an icy object drifting between the stars…...
Could information be a fifth form of matter? Strange matter-antimatter experiment aims to find out
2+ week, 2+ day ago (899+ words) Information fills hard drives, crosses computer networks and describes the properties of physical systems. One physicist argues it may also have something far more surprising: measurable mass. Dr. Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth has proposed an experiment designed…...
China's Chang???e-7 targets the Moon???s South Pole in search of usable water ice
3+ week, 1+ day ago (1159+ words) Shackleton crater on the Lunar South Pole. The Chang’e-7 Moon mission will send a hopper toward shadowed south pole craters in search of accessible lunar water ice. (CREDIT: NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio) Some of the Moon’s most valuable terrain sits…...
Atomic images reveal why one common mineral is superior at producing ice
1+ week, 3+ day ago (1208+ words) Nanoscale imaging shows ice can form across flat microcline surfaces without relying only on cracks or step edges. (CREDIT: Bielefeld University/Magnus Krenz) A mineral surface does not always need a crack, pore or other obvious defect to help ice…...
MeerKAT detects a faint hydrogen signal from billions of years ago
4+ day, 9+ hour ago (1158+ words) MeerKAT directly detected faint hydrogen from billions of years ago, opening a new way to map the cosmic web without optical surveys. (CREDIT: Shutterstock) A whisper of hydrogen that traveled across the Universe for billions of years has been pulled…...
The Milky Way glows brightly in first-of-its-kind neutrino image
4+ week, 7+ hour ago (1087+ words) IceCube at the South pole with the Milky Way in the background. (CREDIT: Martin Wolf, IceCube/NSF) The Milky Way has long been mapped in starlight, radio waves and gamma rays. Now it has appeared in an entirely different form:…...
Scientists develop a greener, catalyst-free, rocket thruster to power the next generation of spacecraft
2+ week, 5+ day ago (1074+ words) An ADN green rocket thruster ignited electrically at room temperature, eliminating the need for a preheated catalyst bed. (CREDIT: Wikimedia / AI-Generated / CC BY-SA 4.0) An experimental “green” rocket thruster has fired successfully using ammonium dinitramide fuel without the catalyst bed normally…...
