A puzzling dark spot has been observed on Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus, raising questions about the moon's geological activity. The discovery, discussed during the 2024 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting…
A study published in Physical Review Letters explores a new approach to detecting the gravitational wave memory effect, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's general relativity. This effect refers to the…
A new study conducted at the University of Toronto has showcased experimental evidence of “negative time” in the quantum realm. While this concept has intrigued scientists for years, it has…
In a study published in IEEE Access on October 15, researchers have highlighted the potential of using skin conductance to detect human emotions. The study examined how variations in sweat…
An undersea volcano situated roughly 470 kilometers off Oregon's coastline, Axial Seamount, is showing signs of imminent activity. Researchers have noted telltale signals such as ground deformation, heightened seismic activity,…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs), known for their brief but powerful emissions of radio waves, have been traced to extremely compact cosmic objects, including neutron stars and potentially black holes. These…
A new infrared photodiode has been developed, which could enhance the efficiency of technologies relying on infrared light detection. Developed by researchers, this new sensor achieves a 35 percent increase…
Every year when winter finally loosens its grip on northern Japan, Tomoko Kobayashi begins what has become an annual rite for her and a small band of collaborators. They head…
Fossil remains of ancient aquatic reptiles, known as mesosaurs, have been unearthed in Uruguay, pointing to the existence of specimens that far exceed previously recorded sizes. The fossils, which include…
A breakthrough has been reported in particle physics, focusing on hypernuclei—rare atomic systems that form through the inclusion of hyperons, particles containing at least one "strange" quark. Unlike the ordinary…
