Researchers develop device that can better detect signs of extraterrestrial life
A group of researchers has developed a fully automated device that could better detect signs of alien life. Astronomers have been trying to look for evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades. They typically use detection methods that look for carbon, which is an important component of organic compounds. But current technologies are limited; some devices can’t […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]

NASA’s plan for new asteroid-hunting telescope could be ready by 2025 if it receives funding of about $500-$600 million
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) could be launching a new asteroid detection system by 2025 if the space agency receives the required funding of about $500 to $600 million. New equipment had been proposed for years, but it wasn’t until asteroid 2019 OK nearly hit Earth in July last year things started moving forward. The space rock, which […]

Model for plasma flow on the Sun reveals secrets behind sunspots and other solar phenomena
Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This […]

Astronomers detect signs of life on Venus
An international team of researchers found evidence of a gas on Venus that could indicate the planet may harbor life. The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter. The team […]

World’s first solar-powered railway line now operating in the UK: Renewable power source may be cheaper than grid-derived electricity, say experts
The world’s first solar-powered railway line is in working order in the United Kingdom. Its innovators conducted a pilot test using Network Rail’s Wessex route and deemed the technology fully functional. The Wessex route was directly powered by solar energy supplied by a nearby solar farm near the town of Aldershot, Hampshire county. Solar power has been used before to power train. But the […]

Researchers develop new thermoelectric device that uses nighttime temperature to generate electricity
A recent study has developed a novel device that harnesses temperature differences at night to generate electricity. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Stanford University teamed up to make an electricity generator that works during the cold, dark night. They came up with a thermoelectric device that was able to power an LED, operating without […]

It’s a “no” for driverless cars: Americans prefer driving themselves to work than relying on autonomous vehicles
Autonomous cars operate without the need for a human driver. Artificial intelligence drives the car, allowing human passengers to attend to other tasks as they travel. But despite this benefit, Americans prefer driving themselves to work over being transported by an autonomous car, according to a study published in the journal Transportation. Researchers from the University of […]

Astronomers discover more stars exhibiting unusual light fluctuations
A strange, dimming star may not be alone after a scientist discovered more stars that are possibly displaying unusual light fluctuations. Some of the stars are dimming rapidly while some are dimming at slower rates, which is similar to Boyajian’s star — a star that dips in brightness for days or weeks at a to,e before […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]
