Climate-Driven Changes Reduce Agricultural Productivity in Central Europe, Claims New Study
Climate change has significantly impacted Central Europe's farmland, with over 50 percent of highly productive agricultural land already affected. A study combining historical data and climate projections highlights that rising temperatures and dry conditions have shifted fertile zones northward and westward. Regions like Slovakia, Austria and the ...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

NASA’s Hubble Observes Rare Blue Lurker Star with Unusual Evolution in M67 Cluster
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has identified a rare stellar phenomenon called the “blue lurker” in the M67 star cluster. Located 2,800 light-years away, this star is part of a triple-star system and has an unusual evolutionary history. The blue lurker’s accelerated spin, taking just four days, contrasts with the typical rotation of Sun-like...

UNSW Develops Miniature Sensor to Detect Nitrogen Dioxide with High Sensitivity
A team from UNSW Sydney has created a miniature, highly sensitive gas sensor that can detect nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) in real-time without needing external power. This sensor, using innovative 2D-printing technology, addresses common issues in gas detection, such as size and energy consumption. Its sensitivity to NO₂, combined with its ability to...

TRAPPIST-1b Could Have Carbon Dioxide-Rich Atmosphere, Study Reveals
A new study published in Nature Astronomy proposes that TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, might have a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. This discovery comes from new data showing a reflective haze in the planet's upper atmosphere. Scientists are also investigating the possibility of volcanic activity based on the planet’s...

Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

Is it Safe to Use a Fan in Extreme Heat? Conflicting Guidelines from Experts
With extreme heat on the rise, experts disagree on safe temperature limits for fan use. The CDC advises against using fans over 32.2°C, citing risks in high temperatures. However, WHO sets the threshold at 40°C. Recent studies suggest humidity plays a key role in determining fan effectiveness, with fans aiding cooling in moist conditions. This ha...
