A planet 64 light-years away is sending radio signals; astronomers trace their source to auroras on the distant world |
Astronomers have reported the first direct detection of radio emission from an exoplanet, tracing the signals to the […]
Scientists tracked 925 pet cats across six countries; most stayed within small home ranges but had a large local impact on wildlife |
Pet cats may spend much of their time close to home, but their hunting can have a large […]
Scientists turned carbon dioxide into high-performance polyester; the material can be chemically recycled into reusable building blocks |
Carbon dioxide is abundant but chemically inert, which makes it difficult to turn into useful polymers. A study […]
For 29 years, scientists warmed a mountain meadow by 2°C; shrubs increased 150% while mycorrhizal fungi declined |
Representative Image of a subalpine meadow shifting from herbaceous plants to shrub-dominated vegetation due to climate warming (AI-generated […]
Two dead stars orbit each other every 6.2 minutes; their orbit is shrinking faster than in two other known systems |
Representative Image of a pair of white dwarfs orbiting closely, surrounded by a cosmic background and X-ray emissions […]
A student built a particle detector for just $100; the pocket-sized device can track invisible particles raining down from space at light’s speed; it is now being used in high-altitude balloon missions and major physics experiments
A device that can detect particles arriving from space does not necessarily require a multimillion-dollar laboratory. A compact […]
Solar farms with taller grass, wildflowers and hedgerows supported more birds; study recorded 35.1 per 4 hectares |
PC: Dr Joshua Copping/ University of Cambridge Solar farms can provide renewable electricity while also supporting wildlife when […]
