A University of Michigan-led study has analyzed over 20 years of data from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory, uncovering new complexities around black holes.
Using ultraviolet, optical, and infrared data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, a group of astronomers demonstrated the locations of some of the most dangerous regions in a star cluster, where the likelihood of planet formation is reduced.
Researchers examine the toxicity potential of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) on the human intestinal fatty acid binding protein (HIFABP) through molecular simulations. The results reveal GQDs obstructing HIFABP's portals, possibly impairing its function, highlighting significant biosafety implications for GQD applications

Researchers from the University of Chicago, University of California Berkeley, Northwestern University, the University of Colorado Boulder, and Argonne National Laboratory have pioneered a technique using molten salt to grow new types of quantum dots, offering an efficient way to create nanocrystals that were previously inaccessible due to high temperature requirements.
After seven months of living and working onboard the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts of NASA’s eighth rotational SpaceX crew mission (Crew-8) splashed down safely off the coast of Florida.
Amid various efforts to develop algorithms and technologies that close the gap between today's noisy quantum systems and future fault-tolerant quantum computers, QSA researchers from partner institutions have concentrated on using quantum devices and novel techniques for significant applications such as complex molecular simulations in chemistry.
As a kid, you may have tried to dig a hole in your backyard to reach China. Obviously, that didn't happen.
In 1181, a supernova near Cassiopeia shone brightly for six months. Recent observations using Caltech’s Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) have provided an unprecedented 3D view, revealing high-speed, dandelion-like filaments that expand ballistically, tracing the explosion precisely back to its origin???????.
Researchers from around the world recently convened at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory for the 25th International Workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators (NuFact).
In Nature, astrophysicists from Caltech and MIT report the first observation of a "black hole triple," a system consisting of three stars, one of which is a black hole. Initially, it was believed that this black hole had only one companion star, but the discovery revealed a second partner.
An international team of astronomers has discovered the first brown dwarf candidates outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602 using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. This research was published in The Astrophysical Journal.
Researchers found that unmelted primitive asteroids contributed significantly to Earth's volatile elements, including zinc.
