Did Earth Create the Moon? Research Uncovers Clues About Lunar Formation
Recent findings from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute challenge previous theories about the moon's formation. The study reveals that the moon was largely created from material ejected from Earth's mantle, not from the protoplanet Theia. Additionally, it offers new perspectives on the origin of water on Earth, suggesting tha...

Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Found Behind Gas and Dust Across the Universe
Supermassive black holes, which feed on surrounding material, may be more common than earlier believed. Researchers suggest that nearly 30%-50% of these black holes could be concealed behind dense gas and dust, making them invisible to standard telescopes. The study, based on infrared observations, sheds light on how these entities influence star f...

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...

AI Enhances Northern Lights Classification and Geomagnetic Storm Forecasting
A breakthrough in auroral research, powered by artificial intelligence, has allowed scientists to classify over 700 million auroral images. This effort, using NASA's THEMIS dataset, will significantly enhance the prediction of geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt Earth's communication and security systems. Led by the University of New Hampshire, t...

New Link Found Between Ferroelectric Domain Walls and Superconductivity in 2D Materials
Scientists from the University of Cambridge and Argonne National Laboratory have uncovered a link between ferroelectric domain walls and superconductivity in 2D materials. Their study shows how specific structural features enhance electron-phonon interactions, especially in materials like molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe₂), paving the way for new sup...

Is the Wheel of Ghosts an Ancient Observatory? New Study Suggests Otherwise
The ancient Rujm el-Hiri site, known as the "Wheel of Ghosts," has long been thought to serve as an astronomical observatory. However, a recent study published in Remote Sensing raises questions about this theory, suggesting that geodynamic changes over millions of years have altered its alignment. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurio...

Mathematicians Uncover Science Behind Hula Hooping and Body Dynamics
Mathematicians at New York University have delved into the science behind hula hooping, revealing that body shape plays a crucial role in maintaining the hoop's motion against gravity. Through experiments using miniature robotic models with different body shapes, the team demonstrated that specific physical attributes—such as sloping hips and a c...

New Study Uncovers Vital Ocean Processes for Carbon Storage and Climate Regulation
A new study has identified two crucial processes in preserving organic carbon beneath the ocean floor: sorption and molecular transformation. Conducted by scientists from the University of Manchester and the University of Leeds, the research highlights how these mechanisms keep carbon locked in sediments, preventing its release as carbon dioxide. A...

Volcanic Activity in Yellowstone Is Shifting in the Northeast Direction, Study Finds
Recent findings reveal that volcanic activity within Yellowstone Caldera is shifting northeast. Using magnetotelluric surveys, geologists from the US Geological Survey, Oregon State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison identified several magma reservoirs at depths of 4 to 47 kilometers. The study found that the northeast region holds...

Newly Discovered Oxygen Reaction Existed in Primitive Atmosphere, Sheds Light on Origin of Life
Scientists have uncovered a new way oxygen could form in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres without the involvement of life. The discovery, led by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, shows that a reaction between helium ions and CO2 can produce molecular oxygen. This process challenges traditional methods of life detect...
