Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we once thought. Recent research from the University of Zurich suggests these planets might be more rocky than previously believed. This challenges the traditional classification of planets in our solar system. Typically, planets are grouped into three t
New, compact magnetic sensors are changing the game. They let scientists study tiny magnetic fields in a way that wasn't possible before. These fields come from electrical currents in the body, like those in the spinal cord and chest. Researchers ran simulations to see how these currents create magn
Blazars are among the most energetic and mysterious objects in the universe. They are a type of active galactic nucleus. They shoot out powerful jets of plasma that can be seen from billions of light-years away. To understand these cosmic powerhouses better, scientists are eager to use a special
Our bodies have an in-built timekeeper, called the circadian rhythm, that keeps many functions running smoothly. When this rhythm gets disrupted, it can cause health problems. Modern life, with its long indoor hours and irregular schedules, can throw off this rhythm. Besides personal habits, environ
Ever wondered why Uranus and Neptune have such wonky magnetic fields? Scientists finally have a clue. These ice giants are made up of layers, one full of water and the other with carbon and nitrogen. This split stops a process called convection, which usually causes magnetic fields. Without it, the
