Solar system simulations starting from varied initial conditions suggest that Earth-like planets can emerge naturally from planet formation. Computer simulations of planetary systems can now begin from thousands of different starting conditions, allowing researchers to explore how worlds might emerge without assuming the final outcome. Over the past three decades, these models have advanced from […]
Earth May Not Be a Cosmic Fluke, New Simulations Suggest
Solar system simulations starting from varied initial conditions suggest that Earth-like planets can emerge naturally from planet formation. Computer simulations of planetary systems can now begin from thousands of different starting conditions, allowing researchers to explore how worlds might emerge without assuming the final outcome. Over the past three decades, these models have advanced from […]
Lava-Covered Planets Are Defying a Key Rule of Planetary Science
Researchers developed a model showing how lava-covered planets close to their stars can hold onto their atmospheres, which could help guide the search for life beyond our solar system. Some planets orbit so close to their stars that intense radiation should strip away their atmospheres. Yet several of these scorching, lava-covered worlds still retain thick […]
Scientists Find a New Way To Stop Aggressive Breast Cancer From Spreading
Australian researchers have identified a promising new approach that could help stop one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer from spreading. Triple-negative breast cancer becomes especially dangerous once tumor cells escape the breast and establish themselves elsewhere in the body. Australian researchers have now identified a molecular weakness that could eventually help determine […]

Scientists Discover Exercise Can Match One Key Benefit of Sleep for the Brain
One sleepless night can blur the brain, but just 20 minutes of exercise or a well-timed nap may help new memories survive for days. In a McGill University-led study, participants who exercised for 20 minutes or slept for 90 minutes after prolonged wakefulness performed about 22 percent better on a delayed memory test than those […]
Princeton AI Tames Fusion Plasma Hotter Than the Sun
Princeton’s PACMAN AI can control fusion plasma in milliseconds and predict dangerous instabilities before they start. In some fusion energy systems, particles can reach temperatures hotter than the center of the Sun. The challenge is keeping that extreme plasma under control, because disturbances can develop within just a few thousandths of a second, much faster […]
