Researchers conducted computer simulations of a rotating Konoplya-Zhidenko black hole surrounded by a geometrically thick, optically thin accretion flow, revealing distinct intensity and polarization features. The tea...
University of Minnesota researchers, led by synthetic biologist Kate Adamala, assembled a minimal synthetic cell that can ingest nutrients, grow and divide. The New York Times reported that the man-made cells were abl...
A team of researchers demonstrated that non-signaling correlations can enable a classical message of the same dimension to simulate the transmission of a qudit in prepare-and-measure scenarios, according to Sciencecas...
Astronomers are preparing to employ the upcoming Square Kilometre Array to conduct detailed radio observations of low-density plasma in galaxy filaments and cluster outskirts, Sciencecast reports. The project aims to ...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile began the ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. The survey employs the facility’s 6,600-pound camera to repeatedly image the southern sky. It will collect data for research ...
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope obtained a transmission spectrum of the young exoplanet AU Mic b, but unstable scanning and strong stellar activity limited the analysis of its atmosphere. The observations...
Astronomers from the University of St Andrews used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe the transit of the Jupiter-sized exoplanet WD 1856 b across a white dwarf star, measuring its mass, temperature and atmosphe...
Researchers led by Mats Esseldeurs of the University of Leuven and Stéphane Mathis of CEA Paris-Saclay published a study in Astronomy & Astrophysics that suggests Earth could avoid being engulfed when the Sun expands ...
The European Southern Observatory released a study recommending that the total number of Earth-orbiting satellites be limited to 100,000 to protect ground-based astronomy. Led by astronomer Olivier Hainaut, the resear...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory reported that its LSST camera completed its first year of on-sky observations, demonstrating reliable operation of its 189 CCD sensors and confirming readiness for the Legacy Survey of Sp...
Scientists at the underground SNO+ laboratory in Ontario, Canada reported detecting antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a water-filled detector. The antineutrinos originated from a reactor located roughly 150 m...
A simulation study examined how variations in stellar-evolution inputs affect the upper limit of the pair-instability supernova black-hole mass gap, identifying the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction as the main source of uncertainty.
Researchers reported a tentative detection of neutrino mass after adopting a higher optical depth to reionization in their cosmological analysis, according to Sciencecast. The study employed a prior of τ = 0. 11 ± 0. ...
