Scientists Develop New Approach to Capture Gravitational Wave Memory from Supernovae
A study published in Physical Review Letters highlights new methods to detect the gravitational wave memory effect, a unique phenomenon predicted by Einstein's general relativity. Core-collapse supernovae (massive stellar explosions) generate these low-frequency gravitational waves, offering a rare glimpse into stellar interiors. Despite their weak...

New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

Do Atoms Really Touch? Science Explains Their Complex Interactions
The question of whether atoms ever truly "touch" depends on overlapping electron clouds rather than physical surfaces. According to Christopher Baird of West Texas A&M University, atomic "touching" is different from everyday physical contact. Atoms lack defined outer surfaces, and their interaction signals the start of physical effects like bonding...

Drought-Stressed Plants Emit Sounds That Guide Moth Egg-Laying Choices
A study published on November 14 via bioRxiv highlights that drought-stressed plants emit ultrasonic sounds influencing moth egg-laying decisions. Experiments showed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths avoided dehydrated plants and preferred healthier ones. Even laboratory-raised moths demonstrated this innate behaviour. The findings suggest potential f...

X-Class Solar Flare From Sunspot 3912 Causes Radio Blackouts in Southern Africa
A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from sunspot region 3912 on December 8, disrupting high-frequency radio communications in southern Africa. The flare, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), ionised Earth’s upper atmosphere, absorbing radio signals and causing blackouts in areas exposed to peak solar activity. Experts predict the CME ...

Arecibo Observatory Data Helps SETI Uncover Secrets of Pulsar Signals and Cosmic Distortions
Data from the now-collapsed Arecibo Observatory continues to drive major discoveries in space science. Sofia Sheikh and her team from the SETI Institute utilised archived data to investigate the signals of pulsars—dense neutron stars emitting radiation like cosmic lighthouses. Their study focused on how these signals are distorted by interstellar...
