| Posted: 28 Jul 2021 09:43 AM PDT Under normal conditions, pure water is an almost perfect insulator. Water only develops metallic properties under extreme pressure, such as exists deep inside of large planets. Now, an international collaboration has used a completely different approach to produce metallic water and documented the phase transition at BESSY II. |
| Scientists capture most-detailed radio image of Andromeda galaxy to date Posted: 28 Jul 2021 08:13 AM PDT Scientists have published a new, detailed radio image of the Andromeda galaxy -- the Milky Way's sister galaxy -- which will allow them to identify and study the regions of Andromeda where new stars are born. |
| A caffeine buzz helps bees learn to find specific flowers Posted: 28 Jul 2021 08:13 AM PDT Researchers have shown that feeding bumble bees caffeine helps them better remember the smell of a specific flower with nectar inside. While previous studies have shown that bees like caffeine and will more frequently visit caffeinated flowers to get it, this study shows that consuming caffeine in their nest actually helps bees find certain flowers outside of the nest. |
| First detection of light from behind a black hole Posted: 28 Jul 2021 08:12 AM PDT Fulfilling a prediction of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, researchers report the first-ever recordings of X-ray emissions from the far side of a black hole. |
| Magnetic fields implicated in the mysterious midlife crisis of stars Posted: 28 Jul 2021 07:57 AM PDT Middle-aged stars can experience their own kind of midlife crisis, experiencing dramatic breaks in their activity and rotation rates at about the same age as our Sun, according to new research. The study provides a new theoretical underpinning for the unexplained breakdown of established techniques for measuring ages of stars past their middle age, and the transition of solar-like stars to a magnetically inactive future. |
