Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), astronomers have spotted the heaviest element ever found in an exoplanet atmosphere– barium. They were surprised to find barium at high altitudes in the atmospheres of the ultra-hot gas giants WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b– two exoplanets, planets that orbit stars outside our Solar System. […]

Data from 25 comets were compiled to test predictions of solar system formation and evolution. A current research study from the College of Central Florida has discovered solid support that the outgassing of particles from comets could be the outcome of the composition from the start of our solar system. The outcomes were released today

A group of investigators at Universität Heidelberg has constructed an early universe analog in their research laboratory utilizing cooled potassium atoms. In their paper publicized in the journal Nature, the group explains their simulator and exactly how it could be used. Silke Weinfurtner, with the College of Nottingham, has published a News & Views piece

A hallmark of the autism spectrum disease, ASD, is the reluctance to develop eye contact with others in normal conditions. Although eye contact is a critically essential part of daily communications, researchers have been restricted in studying the neurological basis of live social contact with eye contact in ASD due to the lack of ability

The model represents a shortage of planets with masses between super-Earths and mini-Neptunes A new model that represents the interaction of forces acting upon newborn planets can clarify two puzzling observations that have repeatedly turned up among the over 3,800 planetary systems cataloged to date. One puzzle called the “radius valley” refers to the rarity

Stem cells are the blank slate on which all specialised cells in our bodies are built and they are the foundation for every organ and tissue in the body. Maturing and resisting it has long been a prominent point in traditional and modern literary works in human history. From the unfortunate Qin Shi Huang’s exploration

To eliminate drug-resistant bacteria, “last-resort” antibiotics borrow a method from Medusa’s playbook: petrification. New high-resolution microscope pictures show that a class of antibiotics called polymyxins crystallizes bacteria’s cell membranes. The honeycomb-shaped crystals that form transform the microorganisms’ normally supple skins of fat molecules right into thin brittle sheets, researchers report October 21 in Nature Communications.

Implantable deep brain stimulators could aid lots of people with neurological and psychiatric illnesses when conventional therapies stop functioning. Nevertheless, surgery every time the batteries have to be transformed is a substantial drawback. Currently, UConn investigators report in Cell Records Physical Sciences a recent method to power the tools utilizing an individual’s own breathing motions.
