| Signs of life: New field guide aids astronomers' search Posted: 04 Dec 2019 12:28 PM PST A senior has come up with a way to discern life on exoplanets loitering in other cosmic neighborhoods: a spectral field guide. |
| Hidden giant planet revealed around tiny white dwarf star Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:58 AM PST The first evidence of a giant planet orbiting a dead white dwarf star has been found in the form of a disc of gas formed from its evaporating atmosphere. |
| Parker Solar Probe traces solar wind to its source on sun's surface: coronal holes Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:58 AM PST New data from the Parker Solar Probe, which got closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, allowed physicists to map the source of a major component of the solar wind that continually peppers Earth. The slow solar wind seems to emerge from coronal holes along the sun's equator. Data also reveal strange magnetic field reversals that could be accelerating solar wind particles, and an unexpectedly dense shroud of comet dust around the sun. |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:58 AM PST With many of the products we use every day held together by adhesives, researchers hope to make everything from protective clothing to medical implants and residential plumbing stronger and more corrosion resistant thanks to a newly-developed 'hyper glue' formula. |
| Adding copper strengthens 3D-printed titanium Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:49 AM PST Successful trials of titanium-copper alloys for 3D printing could kickstart a new range of high-performance alloys for medical device, defence and aerospace applications. |
| NASA's Parker Solar Probe sheds new light on the sun Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:49 AM PST Since its 2018 launch, NASA's Parker Solar Probe (record-holder for closest-ever spacecraft to the Sun) has finished three of 24 planned passes through never-before-explored parts of the Sun's atmosphere. Four new articles describe what scientists have learned from its unprecedented exploration, and what they look forward to learning next. |
| Bio-inspired hydrogel can rapidly switch to rigid plastic Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:45 AM PST A new material that stiffens 1,800-fold when exposed to heat could protect motorcyclists and racecar drivers during accidents. |
| Like Pavlov's dog, this thermoplastic is learning a new trick: Walking Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:37 AM PST Researchers are 'training' pieces of plastic to walk under the command of light. The method developed is the first time a synthetic actuator 'learns' to do new 'tricks' based on its past experiences, without computer programming. |
| Meteorite-loving microorganism Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST The archaeon Metallosphaera sedula can uptake and process extraterrestrial material. This is shown by an international team led by astrobiologists, who examines microbial fingerprints on meteorite materials. The researchers also conclude that M. sedula colonizes meteorite minerals faster than those of terrestrial origin. |
| Properties of graphene change due to water and oxygen Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST A research team investigated the oxidation-reduction principle of two-dimensional materials by interfacial diffusion. |
| Exoplanet-hunting mission catches a natural comet outburst in unprecedented detail Posted: 03 Dec 2019 01:43 PM PST Astronomers have captured a clear start-to-finish image sequence of an explosive emission of dust, ice and gases during the close approach of comet 46P/Wirtanen in late 2018. |
| Machine learning that works like a dream Posted: 03 Dec 2019 06:48 AM PST Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm that classifies the sleep stages of mice with record accuracy. This work may be used to greatly enhance the field of sleep research. |
| Posted: 03 Dec 2019 05:29 AM PST Humans are now closer to seeing through the eyes of animals, thanks to an innovative software framework. |
| A new way to control microbial metabolism Posted: 02 Dec 2019 04:04 PM PST To help optimize microbes' ability to produce useful compounds but also maintain their own growth, chemical engineers have devised a way to induce bacteria to switch between different metabolic pathways at different times. |
| Novel MRI-guided ultrasound treatment destroys prostate cancer Posted: 02 Dec 2019 05:16 AM PST A novel MRI-guided procedure that uses therapeutic ultrasound effectively treats prostate cancer with minimal side effects, according to a new study. Researchers said the incision-free technique could also be used to treat benign enlargement of the prostate gland. |
