In December 2020, the Hayabusa 2 space probe returned with samples from asteroid Ryugu. Since then, the few grams of material have undergone extensive analysis at laboratories worldwide, including the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS). One of the key studies at MPS focused on metal isotopes within the samples, which can help pinpoint Ryugu's origin within the Solar System.

A group of international scientists has made significant strides in understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe by identifying critical gravitational regions, termed "basins of attraction." This research was spearheaded by Dr. Valade as part of his doctoral studies, under the guidance of Prof. Yehuda Hoffman from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Prof. Noam Libeskind from AIP Po

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy, in collaboration with international researchers, have unveiled findings that suggest our cosmic neighborhood may be significantly larger than previously understood. The Cosmicflows team has been examining the movements of 56,000 galaxies, uncovering a possible expansion in the scale of our galactic basin of attraction. A deca

China said on Thursday that its launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean was "legitimate and routine", insisting that its nuclear stance remained defensive after the rare test prompted an outcry from countries in the region. Beijing announced the trial on Wednesday - its first such test in four decades - saying that the missile was carrying a dummy warh

Since 1953, an equation known as at-a-station hydraulic geometry (AHG) has been used to explain the relationship between river width, depth, velocity, and river discharge - the volume of water flowing through a river channel. AHG plays a key role in hydraulic engineering, flood prediction, and navigation. However, traditional methods for studying AHG through field research offer limited sample s

New research reveals that dust carried by the wind from southern Africa towards Madagascar triggered the largest phytoplankton bloom in two decades – and, unusually, this occurred at a time of year when such blooms are rarely seen.
