Scientists from the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) have presented the world’s first detailed maps of the magnetic fields of the solar atmosphere (corona). The work done is only the…

Cornell University researchers were able to study a fundamental process of planet formation and evolution—tidal heating—by observing volcanoes in the solar system’s most volcanically active body, Jupiter’s moon Io. This…

A group of Chinese scientists published a paper in Nature reporting the discovery of a rare stellar-mass black hole candidate. An object with a mass of 3.6 solar is located…

Top quarks, or t-quarks, were discovered just 30 years ago. They are extremely massive compared to other elementary particles in the Standard Model. This makes them unique and mysterious, opening…

A group of Chinese scientists has presented a prototype lithium-sulfur battery that is resistant to damage. The goal of the work was to create a safer alternative to lithium-ion batteries,…

NASA reported that the assembly of the core of the Nancy Grace Roman space observatory is generally complete. The target launch date remains May 2027. No critical problems or delays…

This summer, astronomers from the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) launched one of the world’s best radio telescopes, LOFAR, for a day and were shocked. New versions of Starlink…

Consisting of 14 European partners, the Horizon 2020 SOLiDIFY consortium announced the creation of a prototype lithium battery with a solid electrolyte, which surpassed classic lithium-ion batteries in energy density.…

Modern Mars is far from the spherical and even uniformly flattened shape of an ellipsoid. The planet is asymmetrical, which raises questions about the evolution of Mars. American scientist Michael…

It is known that streams of matter and energy escaping from black holes (jet) can quickly deprive the host galaxy of food for the birth of new stars and further…
