Mycorrhizal fungi form underground networks that sustain plant life and help regulate Earth’s climate by drawing carbon into soils.
In a new study published in Cell, scientists in the Bork Group at EMBL Heidelberg reveal that microbes living in similar habitats are more alike than those simply inhabiting the […]
Students in our introductory courses are often familiar with astronomy concepts from science fiction. Using examples from written or filmed science fiction stories can be a good way to capture […]
We present a search for exomoons around the Jupiter-like exoplanet Kepler-167e using a NIRSpec JWST transit.
Earth-like planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of M-dwarfs have recently been targeted in the search for exomoons.
Of the few thousand discovered exoplanets, a significant number orbit in the habitable zone of their star.
Editor’s note: In the “Avatar” film series the interconnectedness of trees and other life forms is at the core of Pandoran ecosystems. On Earth, large expanses of trees exists wich […]
Exomoon discovery is on the horizon. Although several exomoon candidates exist around single stars, there are currently no candidates around circumbinary planets (CBPs).
The stability of potential exoplanets in binary star systems remains a critical challenge in celestial mechanics.
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 […]
