An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new mini-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a nearby star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4438 b is about 2.5 times larger than the Earth. The finding was ...
Using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), astronomers have observed a chemically peculiar star known as HD 213258. In result, they found that HD 213258 is a rapidly oscillating, strongly magnetic Ap star. The finding ...
Scientists have revealed how lattice vibrations and spins talk to each other in a hybrid excitation known as an electromagnon. To achieve this, they used a unique combination of experiments at the X-ray free electron laser ...
