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...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

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...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Superconductors at Room-Temperature Possible If Electron Pairing Can Be Decoded, Claims Study
Physicists have recently observed an unexpected phenomenon in a superconducting material, potentially pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this field. The discovery centres on a material typically known as an electrical insulator. In this insulator, researchers found that electrons could pair up at temperatures as high as minus 123 degrees ...
