Rare earths: China's trump card in trade war with US
Beijing (AFP) June 11, 2025
China is counting on one crucial advantage as it seeks to grind out a deal to ease its high-stakes trade war with the United States - dominance in rare earths.
Used in electric vehicles, hard drives, wind turbines and missiles, rare earth elements are essential to the modern economy and national defence.

EU clears European satellite giant SES bid for US rival Intelsat
Brussels, Belgium (AFP) June 10, 2025
The EU on Tuesday cleared European satellite group SES's $3.1 billion acquisition of US rival Intelsat, a move the company hopes will help it compete in a race for space-based internet services, currently led by Elon Musk's Starlink.
The European Commission said it approved "unconditionally" the purchase after a probe "concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns" in t

Where did cosmic rays come from? MSU astrophysicists are closer to finding out
East Lansing MI (SPX) Jun 11, 2025
Star and planet formation has largely been considered separate, sequential processes. But in a new study, scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have modeled a different scenario where planets start developing early - during the final stages of stellar formation - rather than after this phase ends, as previously assumed.
Among the many thousands of known exoplanets there is a la

Discovery of giant planet orbiting tiny star challenges theories on planet formation
London, UK (SPX) Jun 11, 2025
Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and hosting of a large planet.

Out of the string theory swampland
Paris, France (SPX) Jun 11, 2025
String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads of energy. But in the early 21st century, it was realized that most of the versions of reality described by string theory's equations cannot match up with observations of our own universe. In particula

Deciphering the behavior of heavy particles in the hottest matter in the universe
Madrid, Spain (SPX) Jun 11, 2025
An international team of scientists has published a new report that moves towards a better understanding of the behaviour of some of the heaviest particles in the universe under extreme conditions, which are similar to those just after the big bang. The paper, published in the journal Physics Reports, is signed by physicists Juan M. Torres-Rincon, from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the Uni
