Tucson, April 18, 2024.- University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory researchers will have a hand in two of the three instruments NASA selected for deployment on the lunar surface by Artemis III astronauts. Once installed near the moon’s South Pole, the instruments will collect valuable scientific data about theContinuar Leyendo
Astronomers have identified the most massive stellar black hole yet discovered in the Milky Way galaxy. This black hole was spotted in data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission because it imposes an odd ‘wobbling’ motion on the companion star orbiting it. Data from the European Southern Observatory’s VeryContinuar Leyendo
Flowering plant-type leaf veins died out and re-evolved several times in the course of the Earth’s history Vienna, April 16, 2024.- According to a research team led by palaeontologists from the University of Vienna, the net-like leaf veining typical for today’s flowering plants developed much earlier than previously thought, butContinuar Leyendo
The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists led by the University of Bern and members of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS. The team is the first to successfully reproduce theContinuar Leyendo
Researchers look to the genes of broccoli and cabbage to increase the genetic diversity of one of Canada’s most important cash crops. Alberta, April 15, 2025.- New University of Alberta research is expanding the genetic diversity of canola, one of Canada’s most important cash crops. By sifting through the genesContinuar Leyendo
A protein complex formed during abnormal cell division eliminates potentially harmful cells over time. Okinawa, April 15, 2024.- Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the mostContinuar Leyendo
When astronomers looked at a stellar pair at the heart of a stunning cloud of gas and dust, they were in for a surprise. Star pairs are typically very similar, like twins, but in HD 148937, one star appears younger and, unlike the other, is magnetic. New data from theContinuar Leyendo
New research from the USC Marshall School of Business reveals AI-generated responses can make humans “feel heard” but an underlying bias toward AI devalues its effectiveness. Los Angeles, 10 April, 2024.- A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found AI-generated messages made recipientsContinuar Leyendo
Vienna, April 04, 2024.- An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: Reyhaneh Farimani, University of Vienna, and her colleagues showed that for the simplest case of connected ring pairs, the type ofContinuar Leyendo
Amid a galaxy teeming with new and young stars lies an intricate substructure Berlín, April 03, 2024.- The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has set its sights on the starburst galaxy Messier 82 (M82), a small but mighty environment that features rapid star formation. By looking closer with Webb’s sensitiveContinuar Leyendo
