Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a major scientific milestone in the study of heat transfer. Their new findings overturn long-standing assumptions about thermal conductivity and reveal that boron arsenide (BAs) can conduct heat more effectively than diamond, which has long been considered the benchmark among isotropic materials. The research team discovered that…

Artist’s impression of a coronal mass ejection on a star Olena Shmahalo/Callingham et al. A cloud of plasma ejected by a star 40 light years away has been detected by a radio telescope on Earth, giving astronomers their first definitive observation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from a star beyond our sun. CMEs occur…

An international group of scientists has confirmed the discovery of three Earth-sized planets within the binary stellar system known as TOI-2267, located roughly 190 light-years from Earth. The finding, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, offers new insight into how planets can form and remain stable in double-star systems, which were once thought too chaotic for…

In a finding that could change how scientists understand the spread of life’s ingredients across space, astronomers have detected large organic molecules frozen in ice around a forming star called ST6 in a galaxy beyond the Milky Way. Using the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), the research team identified five carbon-based compounds…
