Study revisits chances of detecting alien technosignatures
Despite these efforts, no technosignature has been confirmed so far, a silence often attributed to the fact that only a tiny fraction of the cosmic search space has been explored.

Jet from galaxy black hole drives vast stream of super heated gas into space
The observations show super heated gas erupting from both sides of the galaxy in the form of two elongated nebulae powered by an active supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center.

Quantum interferometer boosts sensitivity to tiny laser beam shifts
In many experiments and technologies, such as atomic force microscopy, detecting these minute positional changes is essential.
Time And Space
Quantum light switch built from atomically thin mirror
Physicists Tom Hoekstra and Jorik van de Groep of the UvA-Institute of Physics fabricated an actively tunable metasurface only tens to hundreds of nanometers thick.
Stellar Chemistry
Sulfur ring molecule in galactic cloud links space chemistry to life
The discovery stands out because astronomers had previously only identified relatively small sulfur compounds in space, typically with six atoms or fewer.
Stellar Chemistry
Jets from black hole drive record coronal gas stream in nearby galaxy
In most galaxies, highly energized gas associated with active black holes remains confined within several tens of parsecs of the central black hole, but in VV 340a the structure is larger by a factor of 30 or more.

About Us
China’s birth rate falls to lowest on record
It is now threatened with a demographic crisis after its birth rate halved over the past decade, despite the end of the restrictive "one-child" policy.
Exo Worlds
Mixed crystal phase of superionic water mapped inside giant planets
Because this phase can efficiently carry electrical currents, researchers link superionic water to the generation of the unusual magnetic fields of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune.

Scientist wins ‘Environment Nobel’ for shedding light on hidden fungal networks
Yet until recently, these "mycorrhizal networks" were greatly underestimated: seen as merely helpful companions to plants rather than one of Earth's vital circulatory systems.

NASA selects industry partners to mature Habitable Worlds Observatory technologies
The observatory is also expected to support a broad astrophysics program and contribute to planning for future human exploration of Mars, elsewhere in the solar system, and more distant targets.

Milky Way stars mapped as major source of ghost particle flux at Earth
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed the most detailed model so far of neutrinos produced by stars across the Milky Way and of how many of these particles reach Earth.
