Mars Just Got a Whole Lot More Habitable, Thanks to These Weird Earth Creatures! - The Daily Galaxy
Mars may not be as hostile to life as we’ve been led to believe. Scientists have found a surprising contender for surviving on the Red Planet, and it’s not what you’d expect.
Imaging a terahertz superfluid plasmon in a two-dimensional superconductor - Nature
Terahertz microspectroscopic imaging at subgap millielectronvolt energies of a two-dimensional superfluid plasmon in few-layer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x is demonstrated, allowing the spatial resolution of its deeply subdiffractive terahertz electrodynamics.
Synthesizing scientific literature with retrieval-augmented language models - Nature
A specialized, open-source, retrieval-augmented language model is introduced for answering scientific queries and synthesizing literature, the responses of which are shown to be preferred by human evaluations over expert-written answers.
Terahertz microscope reveals the motion of superconducting electrons - Phys.org
You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material’s surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures a material’s radiating heat. Now, MIT physicists have used terahert…
Astronomers trace a runaway star to a former companion's supernova - Phys.org
Astronomers have strengthened long-standing predictions that massive runaway stars could have originated in binary pairs, and were dramatically ejected into space when their companion stars underwent supernova explosions. Through a combination of observations…
