Solar Opposites review: Clever, silly and bound to be an instant hit
From one of the creators of Rick and Morty, animation Solar Opposites explores how intelligent beings from another world would fare in a typical US neighbourhood with hilarious results Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2268846-solar-opposites-review-clever-silly-and-bound-to-be-an-instant-hit/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
World’s first video of a space-time crystal
A German-Polish research team has succeeded in creating a micrometer-sized space-time crystal consisting of magnons at room temperature. With the help of the scanning transmission X-ray microscope Maxymus at Bessy II at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, they were able to film the recurring periodic magnetization structure in a crystal. Published in the Physical Review Letters, the research project was a collaboration between…
Can air pollution help us find alien life?
To find alien life in our universe, scientists have considered searches for optical lasers or even giant energy-harvesting structures known as Dyson spheres. Now they’re suggesting a more mundane sort of search, a hunt for air pollution in exoplanet atmospheres. Source: https://earthsky.org/space/can-pollution-help-us-find-alien-life…
