Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets around a young sun-like star known as TOI-6109. The newfound alien worlds are slightly larger than Neptune and orbit ...
Ferrimagnets are a special type of magnet where different atoms' magnetic moments partially cancel each other out, creating a rich internal structure. They are widely used in technologies from magneto-optical devices to spin-based ...
Using radial velocity measurements, an international team of astronomers has identified a second planet orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as Gliese 536. The newfound alien world turns out to be at least a few times more ...
McGill University researchers have developed a novel method to replicate four types of microplastics commonly found in the environment, providing researchers with a standardized approach to study their toxic effects.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have observed a young brown dwarf known as Cha Hα 1. As a result, they found that the disk around this brown dwarf is hydrocarbon-rich. The finding was detailed in ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Gemini Observatory, European astronomers have observed a nearby cold brown dwarf known as WISE 1738. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Heat waves that already affect the population of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) could significantly intensify in the future, with temperature increases of up to 6ºC and a general reduction in relative humidity ...
