Magnetars are among the rarest—and weirdest—denizens of the galactic zoo. They have powerful magnetic fields and may be the source of fast radio bursts (FRBs). A team of astronomers led by European Space Agency researcher […]

Communications with Mars explorers face unique challenges, including 4–24 minute signal delays and limited bandwidth that restricts data transmission. While NASA’s Deep Space Network currently manages these communications, future missions may be able to employ […]

Earth has only one natural satellite, the moon, which is relatively large compared to its parent planet. It orbits Earth at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers and completes one revolution approximately every 27.3 […]

New research led by Monterey Bay Aquarium reveals a surprising ripple effect in coastal ecosystems: the collapse of one marine predator can benefit another.This post was originally published on this site

The number of species does not increase evenly when going from local ecosystems to continental scales—a phenomenon ecologists have recognized for decades. Now, an international team of scientists, including researchers from the German Center for […]

Photocatalytic hydrogen production technology represents one of the most significant approaches for addressing the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Cadmium sulfide (CdS), with its appropriate bandgap and adjustable surface structure, has been extensively utilized in […]

Trees, parks, wetlands and green roofs can no longer be seen as a “nice-to-have” aesthetic enhancement but a vital component for creating climate-resilient, healthier and more equitable cities, according to an international paper led by […]

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University have developed a powerful new technique to better understand how tiny molecules in our cells, called microRNAs, control which genes are turned on or off—a discovery that could […]

For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment.This post was originally published on this site

Marine plastic pollution is a global crisis, with 9 to 14 million metric tons of plastic entering the ocean every year. Tiny fragments called microplastics—ranging from 1 micron to 5 millimeters—make up the vast majority […]
