An international team of astronomers has employed a set of space telescopes to observe a peculiar nuclear transient known as AT 2019avd. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published December 21 on ...
Biomanufacturing based in space can improve the sustainability of deep space exploration. Bioprocessing systems to advance biomanufacturing for space applications need to be developed. In a new report now published in npj ...
Magnetotactic bacteria can form magnetofossils like magnetic nanocrystals as observed in the Martian meteorite ALH84001, which held a special place in the field of astrobiology primarily in the early 90s. While the flourishing ...
Using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), European astronomers have performed spectral analysis of a low-mass X-ray binary known as XTE J1810–189. Results ...
Using the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) spacecraft and the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) instrument onboard the International Space Station, astronomers have inspected an ultracompact ...
After July 2023 was confirmed as the warmest month on record for planet Earth, a new study has shown the world's tropical forest canopies may be closer to critical high-temperature thresholds than previously known.
