Mapping Alien Continents: Achieving Optical VLBI for Exoplanet Imaging

Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence powered simulation that could significantly improve our understanding of how the universe creates many of its heaviest elements. Created by an international team at GSI/FAIR, the machine learning model allows scientists to simulate the complex nuclear reactions that occur during neutron star mergers and other violent stellar events…

The mitochondrion (green in this false-colour transmission electron micrograph) could have a role in the physiological effects of microgravity.Credit: Jose Calvo/SPL Exposure to microgravity aboard the International Space Station causes mitochondria in human cells and in worms to produce fewer proteins, researchers have found. The work also identified a previously unknown molecular pathway that translates…

Measles cases in the United States have just passed a “grim milestone”, reaching numbers that haven’t been seen in 35 years. In 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a total of 2,289 measles cases. Today, 21 July 2026, that number was officially breached, reaching 2,295 at the time of writing. The last…

A rare type of meteorite known as a CO chondrite was likely the object that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago and triggered the extinction of about 75 percent of all species, including every non-avian dinosaur. Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Paris, Brussels, and Vienna reached that conclusion by analyzing nickel…
