This just in ... a new super-cool composite from Curiosity on Mars. The panorama contains more than 1,000 images taken last Thanksgiving and assembled over the past few months ... 1.8 billion new pixels of Martian landscape!
Physicists at MIT analyzed data from earlier experiments in particle accelerators, in order to probe the workings of the strong nuclear force that operates inside atoms. Their work sheds light on this force - one of the 4 fundamental forces of nature - and also illuminates the structure of a neutron star’s core.
A new study by researchers at Cambridge University suggests that the giant exoplanet K2-18b - a mini-Neptune - may be more potentially habitable than previously thought.
