A greedy white dwarf star not far from Earth is devouring its closest celestial companion at a rate never seen before, space scientists have discovered. Their study found the double star, named V Sagittae, is burning unusually bright as the super-dense white dwarf is gorging on its larger twin inContinue Reading
Science News from research organizations Date: September 2, 2025 Source: NASA Summary: NASA’s SPHEREx joined Webb and Hubble in studying interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, gathering data on its size, chemistry, and physical traits. While harmless to Earth, the comet provides scientists a rare opportunity to learn more about solar system wanderers.Continue Reading
A team of international astronomers, including a University of Michigan doctoral student, were the first to publish the discovery of just the third known interstellar object to visit our solar system on July 3. Now, two of the researchers involved — Aster Taylor of the U-M Department of Astronomy andContinue Reading
Astronomers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have discovered a vast and expanding bubble of gas and dust surrounding a red supergiant star – the largest structure of its kind ever seen in the Milky Way. The bubble, which contains as much mass as the Sun, was blown out inContinue Reading
A Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) review of data collected from near-Earth asteroids Bennu and Ryugu supports the hypothesis that they were originally part of the Polana collisional family in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The study compared spectroscopy data from Polana with spacecraft andContinue Reading
The education sector needs efficient, high-quality course material development that can keep pace with rapidly evolving knowledge domains. Faculty invest days to create content and quizzes for topics to be taught in weeks. Increased faculty engagement in manual content creation creates a time deficit for innovation in teaching, inconsistent courseContinue Reading
Most stars in the Universe exist in binary or multiple star systems, where the presence of close-in companion stars in such systems can adversely influence the formation and orbital stability of planets around one of the stars. An international team of astrophysicists led by Professor Man Hoi LEE from theContinue Reading
Extracting meaningful insights from unstructured data presents significant challenges for many organizations. Meeting recordings, customer interactions, and interviews contain invaluable business intelligence that remains largely inaccessible due to the prohibitive time and resource costs of manual review. Organizations frequently struggle to efficiently capture and use key information from these interactions,Continue Reading
Subaru Telescope has made an exciting discovery: a small body beyond Pluto, with implications for the formation, evolution, and current structure of the outer Solar System. The object was found as part of the survey project FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy), which takes advantage ofContinue Reading
Professor Ngai Wong and Dr Zhengwu Liu from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with research teams at Tsinghua University and Tianjin University, have conducted groundbreaking research on memristor-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Published in NatureContinue Reading
