A new study has provided precise atomic data that shed light on the impact of charged ions from coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series on March 18, the study was led by researchers ...
Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining energy balance and cellular health. Recent studies have shown that chronic stress in neuronal mitochondria can have far-reaching effects, not only damaging the neurons themselves ...
When the plasma inside a fusion system starts to misbehave, it needs to be quickly cooled to prevent damage to the device. Researchers at Commonwealth Fusion Systems believe the best bet is a massive gas injection: essentially, ...
An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes launch relativistic jets. The sixteen sources were observed with the Event Horizon Telescope during ...
One of the Holy Grails in cosmology is a look back at the earliest epochs of cosmic history. Unfortunately, the universe's first few hundred thousand years are shrouded in an impenetrable fog. So far, nobody's been able to ...
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Narrow Field Imager (NFI) was launched into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as a part of NASA's Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission on March 11 ...
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real time—helping to pave the way for the deployment of molten salt reactors for energy production.
New research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the universe's infancy—the earliest cosmic time yet accessible to humans. Measuring light that traveled for more ...
By analyzing the data from Leahy's atlas of double radio-sources and NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), Serbian astronomers have explored an X-shaped radio galaxy designated 3C 315. Results of the new study, published ...
Bone and muscle deterioration, radiation exposure, vision impairment—these are just a few of the challenges space travelers face on long-duration missions, even before considering the psychological toll of isolation.
