A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei. Researchers have taken an important step toward solving one of astrophysics’ oldest isotope mysteries: where the rare proton-rich atomic species known as p-nuclei come from. The study was led by Artemis Tsantiri, who conducted the work […]

NASA’s Psyche Could Reveal the Secret Inside This Metal World
A massive crater on asteroid Psyche may hold the key to whether it’s a lost planet’s core or something more complex. New simulations suggest NASA’s upcoming mission could finally solve the mystery. More than 200 years after asteroid 16 Psyche was first identified, scientists are still trying to understand how it formed. Psyche is the […]
Mars Was Once Warm and Wet. NASA’s ESCAPADE Is About to Learn What Went Wrong
NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft will uncover how the Sun stripped Mars of its atmosphere. Mars is a very different world today than it once was. Scientists believe the planet used to have a thicker atmosphere, liquid water on its surface, and a warmer environment. Now it is cold, dry, and surrounded by only a thin […]
Deep Ocean Microbes May Already Be Adapting to Climate Change
As climate change pushes heat deeper into the ocean, scientists have been concerned about disruptions to marine life’s delicate balance. But new research suggests that a key microbe, Nitrosopumilus maritimus, may already be adapting to these harsher conditions. Rising temperatures are no longer limited to the ocean’s surface. Heat waves and long-term climate change are […]
