39 Scientists have calculated the speed of meteoroid impacts on Mars using seismic measurements taken by NASA’s retired InSight lander during its mission. Two companion studies published June 28 independently estimate significantly higher speeds than previously inferred from images taken by spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet. The studies show that seismic measurements promise to be … Read more

Enlarge / Artist’s rendering of how the angle of the polarized light from a fast radio burst changes as it travels through space. CHIME/Dunlap Institute Astronomers have been concerned about the origins of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) since the first one was spotted in 2007. Researchers are now looking for the first time at … Read more
Chassigny meteorite in cross-polarized light – Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego When a meteorite hit Mars eleven million years ago, pieces of the Red Planet flew into space – and some of them landed on Earth in the form of meteorites, providing unprecedented evidence about the planet’s composition. Now scientists at UC … Read more
Resume: Researchers developed an AI model of the fruit fly’s brain to understand how vision drives behavior. By genetically silencing specific visual neurons and observing behavioral changes, they trained the AI to accurately predict neural activity and behavior. Their findings show that combinations of multiple neurons, rather than individual types, process visual data in a … Read more
