Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have analysed the interior of exoplanets, determining the key role of iron.
With the discovery of over 4,500 exoplanets,...
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) alongside the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) team have designed the most detailed 3D map of the cosmos...
NTU Singapore startup – Aliena – has successfully deployed a compact and fuel-efficient satellite engine into space.
Scientists from Aliena, a tech spin-off from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, have...
Champaign-Urbana Aerospace (CUA) aims to identify, develop, and distribute promising new commercial aerospace technologies.
Founded in 1998, CUA’s 10,000 sq...
A group of astronomers at the University of Arizona have discovered an unprecedented quantity of globular clusters, which could shed light on galaxy evolution.
Discovering globular clusters
The novel globular clusters were found during a survey of the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A,...
An international team of researchers has found that the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, not only flares irregularly from day to day but also in the long term.
The team, led by Alexis Andrés, analysed...
Researchers have discovered a sub-Neptune exoplanet that is orbiting a red dwarf star with an irregular orbit.
An international research team from the University of Bern, as well as an observational team from the SAINT-EX observatory in Mexico, have discovered...
Researchers discover a remarkable link between the number of nearby exploding stars, called supernovae, and life on Earth.
New evidence demonstrates a close connection between the fraction of organic matter buried in sediments on Earth, and changes in supernovae occurrence....
An international scientific group has managed to measure for the first-time oscillations in the brightness of a neutron star (magnetar) during its most violent moments.
In just a tenth of a second the magnetar released energy equivalent to that produced...
Scientists were able to create a liquid metal experiment to uncover the mystery regarding the high temperatures reached by the Sun’s corona.
The Sun’s corona
At 15 million degrees Celsius, the centre of our Sun is unimaginably hot. At its surface,...
Astronomers at The University of Toledo established the star formation history of a post-starburst galaxy using its cluster population to understand galaxy evolution.
The University of Toledo employed a husband-and-wife team of astronomers to join forces for the first time...
A new study conducted by Washington University in St. Louis suggests that the habitability of Mars is limited by its small size, which means it cannot hold large amounts of water.
