Perseverance just keeps roving across Mars

Write a comment
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 18, 2024
Throughout the past week, Perseverance has continued marching up the Jezero crater rim. This steep ascent through the Martian regolith (soil) can prove to be slow driving for the rover, as the wheels can slip on the steepest areas. This is like trying to run up a hill of sand on a beach - with every step forward, you also slip back a little way down the hill! This just means the Science and Engi

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 21, 2024
Physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton, and Oxford have uncovered evidence that extremely light particles, known as axions, may form large clouds around neutron stars. These particles could help explain dark matter, one of the greatest mysteries in physics, and might even be detectable with current technology. The new research, published in 'Physical Review X', builds on

Physicists have long understood that protons and neutrons, which make up atomic nuclei, are composed of quarks bound by gluons. However, reproducing the properties of atomic nuclei using only these subatomic components has been a challenge. Now, researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow, working with the international nCTEQ collaboration, have

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell's survival and operation. For instance, the nucleus stores genetic material, and mitochondria produce energy. Another essential part of a cell is the membrane that encloses it. Proteins embedded on the surface

Far beneath the lush landscape of southern China, a sprawling subterranean laboratory aims to be the world's first to crack a deep scientific enigma. China has emerged as a science powerhouse in recent years, with the country's Communist leadership ploughing billions of dollars into advanced research to contend with the United States and other rivals. Its latest showpiece is the Jiangmen
