Phys.org / A 21-hour dip could help explain Tabby's star's decade-long dimming mystery
Since 2016, an ordinary-looking F-type star called KIC 8462852, nicknamed Tabby's star, has behaved anything but ordinarily. In a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on July 6, researchers ...
Phys.org / First 3D map reveals hidden thermal structure of nearby interstellar medium
Astronomers have built the first three-dimensional map of gas temperature in the space surrounding our solar system, revealing a far messier and more dynamic picture than current models predict. The study was submitted to ...
Medical Xpress / How multinucleated cells help the brain reorganize after localized astrocyte loss
The human brain contains various types of cells that collectively support its functions. In addition to neurons, nerve cells that communicate via electrical and chemical signals, it also relies on star-shaped cells known ...
Phys.org / Rising seas are inundating US coastal wetlands, putting many on track to become open water
Along the three coasts of the contiguous United States, a silent race unfolds. Fueled by climate change, sea levels rise faster than at any time in recent geologic history. Meanwhile, coastal wetlands cling to a slim lead, ...
