Material previously thought to be quantum is actually a new, non-quantum state of matter - Phys.org
Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem. A study, published in Science Advances and co-led by Rice…
Rethinking the “Goldilocks Zone”: Astronomers May Have Been Looking for Life in the Wrong Places - SciTechDaily
A new study challenges the traditional boundaries of the habitable zone, showing that liquid water could exist on the dark sides of tidally locked planets or beneath thick ice on distant worlds. For decades, the search for alien life has been guided by a simp…
Space Companies Did Not Pollute Our Night Sky for Billions of Years and Should Not Do So in the… - Avi Loeb – Medium
If a future catastrophe will wipe out our technological civilization from the surface of Earth, will there be a technological relic that…
Simultaneously decoding the transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome within a single cell - Phys.org
The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells. Analyzing average values across thousands of cells made it chall…
MeerKat Telescope Spots Mega-Powered “Space Laser” Beaming Across the Cosmos, Revealing Most Distant Luminous Object Known - The Debrief
In a discovery that astronomers are calling a “truly extraordinary” find, a powerful “space laser” mega-beam has been detected from across the cosmos.
Gravitational waves reveal hidden structure of galactic centers - Phys.org
A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into each cubic parsec. The team used gravitational-wave data from …
