| Scientists discover new exoplanet with an atmosphere ripe for study Posted: 09 Jun 2021 05:46 AM PDT Scientists have discovered a new, temperate sub-Neptune sized exoplanet with a 24-day orbital period orbiting a nearby M dwarf star. The recent discovery offers exciting research opportunities thanks to the planet's substantial atmosphere, small star, and how fast the system is moving away from the Earth. |
| Researchers create intelligent electronic microsystems from 'green' material Posted: 08 Jun 2021 05:37 PM PDT A research team has created an electronic microsystem that can intelligently respond to information inputs without any external energy input, much like a self-autonomous living organism. The microsystem is constructed from a novel type of electronics that can process ultralow electronic signals and incorporates a device that can generate electricity 'out of thin air' from the ambient environment. |
| 'Surfing' particles: Physicists solve a mystery surrounding aurora borealis Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT The spectacularly colorful aurora borealis -- or northern lights -- that fills the sky in high-latitude regions has fascinated people for thousands of years. Now, a team of scientists has resolved one of the final mysteries surrounding its origin. |
| Cosmic cartographers map nearby universe revealing the diversity of star-forming galaxies Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT A team of astronomers has completed the first census of molecular clouds in the nearby universe. The study produced the first images of nearby galaxies with the same sharpness and quality as optical imaging and revealed that stellar nurseries do not all look and act the same. In fact, they're as diverse as the people, homes, neighborhoods, and regions that make up our own world. |
| An unprecedented survey of the 'nurseries' where stars are born Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT Astronomers have taken a big step forward in understanding the dark and violent places where stars are born. Over the past five years, an international team of researchers has conducted the first systematic survey of 'stellar nurseries' across our part of the universe, charting the more than 100,000 of these nurseries across more than 90 nearby galaxies and providing new insights into the origins of stars. |
| Finding quasars: Rare extragalactic objects are now easier to spot Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT Astrophysicists have developed a new method for pinpointing the whereabouts of extremely rare extragalactic objects. They hope their technique for finding 'changing-look quasars' will take scientists one step closer to unraveling one of greatest mysteries of the universe - how supermassive black holes grow. Quasars are believed to be responsible for regulating the growth of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. |
| Discovery of a dying supermassive black hole via a 3,000-year-long light echo Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT Supermassive black holes (SMBH) occupy the center of galaxies, with masses ranging from one million to 10 billion solar masses. Some SMBHs are in a bright phase called active galactic nuclei (AGN). |
