Detection of radio emission from Jupiter was identified quickly as being due to its planetary-scale magnetic field. Subsequent spacecraft investigations have revealed that many of the planets, and even some […]
The so-called homochirality of life – the fact that all biomolecules in living organisms only ever occur in one of two mirror-image forms – has puzzled a number of scientific […]
The primary challenge in detecting ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos with energies exceeding 1016 eV is to instrument a large enough volume to detect the extremely low flux, which falls as […]
We study the magnetic and tidal interactions of a gas-giant exoplanet with its host star and with its exomoons, and focus on their retention. We briefly revisit the scaling law […]
The detection of radio emission from an exoplanet would constitute the best way to determine its magnetic field.
Editor’s note: as is stated in this press release, electroporation is a well-known way to deliver genetic information into a cell – in the laboratory. The fact that this happens […]
Our research objective is to characterize Mars’ low-altitude (250 km) induced magnetic fields using data from NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) Mission.
Seeking microorganisms that efficiently capture the greenhouse gas CO2
An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analysing ancient tree-rings found in the French Alps.
When nature performs chemical reactions to create energy-rich compounds from simple molecules, it requires energy. So far, it has not been possible to use man-made electricity to drive these biochemical […]
