| Stellar cocoon with organic molecules at the edge of our galaxy Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:16 AM PST Astronomers have detected a newborn star and the surrounding cocoon of complex organic molecules at the edge of our Galaxy, which is known as the extreme outer Galaxy. The observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array reveal the hidden chemical complexity of our Universe. |
| Light-powered soft robots could suck up oil spills Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:15 AM PST A floating, robotic film could be trained to hoover oil spills at sea or remove contaminants from drinking water. |
| Color-changing magnifying glass gives clear view of infrared light Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:14 AM PST By trapping light into tiny crevices of gold, researchers have coaxed molecules to convert invisible infrared into visible light, creating new low-cost detectors for sensing. |
| TESS discovers a planet the size of Mars but with the makeup of Mercury Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:14 AM PST The TESS mission has discovered an ultra-short-period planet (USP) that is also super light. The planet is named GJ 367 b, and it orbits its star in just eight hours. The planet is about the size of Mars, and half as massive as the Earth, making it one of the lightest planets discovered to date. |
