Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed a new class of light-activated compounds that could make 3D printing of advanced biomaterials safer and more versatile. The compounds are described as nontoxic, which addresses a key concern in current printing processes that often rely on harsh chemicals. Beyond 3D printing, the team suggests these compounds could find use in cosmetics and medicine, bro…
If you look at the latest Picture of the Month from the James Webb Space Telescope, you are seeing dense clumps of gas where young stars are actively forming. The region, called LHA 120-N 159 (or N159), sits 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The image spans about 230 light-years and reveals a turbulent cauldron of star birth. Why it matter…
Australian researchers at CSIRO are investigating why many avocado fruits fall off trees before they mature, a problem known as immature fruit abscission. The research aims to combat this major challenge faced by growers.
Have you noticed any fruit trees dropping fruit early? What do you think causes it?
A new study posted to arXiv suggests that stellar activity can mimic the signal of a much heavier planet. Some rocky planets reported to weigh more than 10 Earths may not be as massive as they appear, with their apparent heft being an illusion caused by the star's own activity. This matters because it challenges how we identify and characterize the most massive rocky planets.
