NASA Webb Measures Size and Surface of Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 YR4
Thursday, 03 April 2025 11:24
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has observed asteroid 2024 YR4, revealing it to be roughly 60 meters in diameter-about the height of a 15-story building-and confirming it poses no significant threat to Earth in 2032 or thereafter.
The study, led by Andy Rivkin of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, utilized Webb's Director's Discretionary Time to analyze this unusual Sound waves reveal secrets of stellar evolution and galactic history

A team led by UNSW Sydney has harnessed the sound frequencies emitted by stars to trace their life cycles and uncover the past and future of our galaxy. The research, focusing on 27 stars in the M67 cluster located 2700 light years from Earth, offers new insight into how stars like our Sun evolve.

Thursday, 03 April 2025 11:24
Life began on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago, with organic molecules forming in watery environments under the influence of sunlight and electrical activity, according to the widely held primordial soup theory. These early chemical reactions, likely powered by RNA, ultimately led to the emergence of single-celled organisms.
But what catalyzed the leap from single-celled organisms to com The ticking frontier of thorium powered nuclear clocks

In a recent perspective featured in the National Science Review, Dr Xin Tong from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, outlines the transformative potential and enduring technical hurdles of thorium-229-based nuclear optical clocks.

From a fiery origin to its slow expansion and eventual formation of structure, the Universe's evolution has long fascinated scientists. A key chapter in this story unfolded a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, when the earliest galaxies and stars began coalescing from vast reservoirs of primordial gas. Astronomers have detected galaxies dating back to less than 300 million years post- How VIN Decoding Became the Silent Ally of Smart Used Car Buyers
Thursday, 03 April 2025 11:24
The used car market was once a jungle. Buyers wandered it blindfolded - guessing, trusting, hoping. They sniffed tires, tapped hoods, and squinted at dashboards. Still, they walked away with lemons. Sometimes polished. Sometimes cursed.
But not anymore.
Now, the most powerful ally doesn't stand on the lot. It lives in code. Silent. Systematic. Brutally honest. It's called the Vehicle Scientists fuse two extreme quantum materials into one exotic platform
Thursday, 03 April 2025 11:24
An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick has succeeded in integrating two highly unconventional quantum materials into a synthetic structure long considered unattainable, paving the way for advances in quantum computing and materials science.
Featured on the cover of Nano Letters, the breakthrough emerged after four years of rigorous experimentation,

How hidden lakes threaten Antarctic Ice Sheet stability
Thursday, 03 April 2025 07:00
For decades, satellites have played a crucial role in our understanding of the remote polar regions. The ongoing loss of Antarctic ice, owing to the climate crisis, is, sadly, no longer surprising. However, satellites do more than just track the accelerating flow of glaciers towards the ocean and measure ice thickness.
New research highlights how ESA’s CryoSat mission has been used to uncover the hidden impact of subglacial lakes – vast reservoirs of water buried deep under the ice – that can suddenly drain into the ocean in dramatic outbursts and affect ice loss.
