Mysterious space object emitting radio signals every 54 minutes is confusing scientists – the debrief

by
radio signal

Astronomers have detected a peculiar radio signal originating from deep space that eludes current scientific knowledge. The signal, designated ASKAP J1935+2148, repeats every 53.8 minutes, making it the longest period ever recorded for such a phenomenon. Published in the magazine Nature AstronomyThe discovery, made using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope, has … Read more

Third life form provides energy in ‘remarkable’ ways, scientists discover

by

As the world turns to green hydrogen and other renewable energy sources, scientists have discovered that archaea – the third life form after bacteria and eukaryotes – have been making energy for billions of years using hydrogen gas and ‘ultra-minimal’ enzymes. Specifically, the international team of researchers found that at least nine phyla of archaea, … Read more

Scientists are discovering more Milky Way-like galaxies in the early universe, expanding our understanding of how galaxies formed

by

Some of the spiral galaxies studied by the researchers in the study. Credit: Vicki Kuhn Scientists at the University of Missouri are peering into the past and discovering new clues about the early universe. Because light takes a long time to travel through space, they can now see what galaxies looked like billions of years … Read more

Was this sea creature our ancestor? Scientists turn a famous fossil upside down.

by

Over the past 500 million years, vertebrates have evolved into a dizzying variety of forms, from hummingbirds to elephants, bullfrogs to hammerhead sharks, not to mention our special species of upright monkeys. But among all that diversity, vertebrates share some important characteristics. We all have a backbone made of, for example, vertebrae, together with a … Read more

Scientists create and test an efficient water-splitting catalyst predicted by theory

by

This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread OK! This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. … Read more
