| Researchers use InSight for deep Mars measurements Posted: 05 Aug 2020 01:09 PM PDT Using data from NASA's InSight Lander on Mars, seismologists have made the first direct measurements of three subsurface boundaries from the crust to the core of the red planet. |
| Ammonia sparks unexpected, exotic lightning on Jupiter Posted: 05 Aug 2020 01:09 PM PDT NASA's Juno spacecraft -- orbiting and closely observing the planet Jupiter -- has unexpectedly discovered lightning in the planet's upper atmosphere, according to a multi-institutional study. |
| Dinosaur relative's genome linked to mammals: Curious genome of ancient reptile Posted: 05 Aug 2020 09:40 AM PDT Biologists have sequenced the genome of the tuatara, a lizard-like creature that lives on the islands of New Zealand. |
| Sun’s bubble of influence may be shaped like a deflated croissant Posted: 05 Aug 2020 09:40 AM PDT Scientists have developed a new prediction of the shape of the bubble surrounding our solar system using a model developed with data from NASA missions. |
| Calcium-rich supernova examined with x-rays for first time Posted: 05 Aug 2020 07:20 AM PDT X-ray images give unprecedented view of extremely rare type of supernova. New information suggests that these supernovae start as compact stars that lose mass at the end of life. Calcium-rich supernovae are responsible for up to half the calcium in the entire universe. SN 2019ehk has the richest calcium emission of all known transients. |
| Molecular forces: The surprising stretching behavior of DNA Posted: 05 Aug 2020 07:20 AM PDT Experiments with DNA molecules show that their mechanical properties are completely different from what those of macroscopic objects - and this has important consequences for biology and medicine. Scientists has now succeeded in explaining these properties in detail by combining ideas from civil engineering and physics. |
| How thoughts could one day control electronic prostheses, wirelessly Posted: 05 Aug 2020 06:18 AM PDT The current generation of neural implants record enormous amounts of neural activity, then transmit these brain signals through wires to a computer. But, so far, when researchers have tried to create wireless brain-computer interfaces to do this, it took so much power to transmit the data that the implants generated too much heat to be safe for the patient. A new study suggests how to solve his problem -- and thus cut the wires. |
