Astronomers using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) have confirmed that early-Universe quasars are surrounded by densely packed galaxies, solving a long-standing debate. DECam's wide field of view and unique filters allowed astronomers to gain new insights into the quasar neighborhoods, explaining why previous studies have produced inconsistent results.

A new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder has shown that gases often seen as indicators of life on distant planets may not be as reliable as previously thought. Researchers managed to recreate dimethyl sulfide - a molecule traditionally associated with biological activity - in a lab without the involvement of living organisms.

Researchers have unveiled an optical atomic clock that operates with a single laser and functions at room temperature, dramatically simplifying the design without compromising on accuracy or stability. This breakthrough could lead to the development of compact and portable high-performance atomic clocks.
