This oddball reflective lava world is challenging to understand
Among Kepler and TESS's many surprising exoplanet discoveries are the ultra-short-period (USP) planets. These planets move very quickly and complete an orbit in less than 24 hours. Ancient astronomers thought that Mercury was so…

Looking for bats after dark can help science—and change how we see themWhat's that chirping sound coming through the detector? Did you feel something whiz past? Those are just some ways people react when they encounter microbats for the first time. Microbats are small, mostly nocturnal mammals that…Giant virus yields potassium channel gene that illuminates complex protein evolutionResearchers have discovered a gene for a tandem potassium channel in an algal virus. The finding supports the view that giant viruses may have contributed significantly to the evolution of complex proteins. The study is published…Why do people prefer human empathy despite rating AI empathy higher?More people are turning to artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots for companionship and to address loneliness. But can AI-generated empathy replace human connection?Chemists develop AI tool to convert human ingenuity into life-enhancing enzymesMany have voiced concerns that artificial intelligence will take jobs away from humans. But assistant professor of chemistry Zhongyue (John) Yang, along with his former doctoral student Qianzhen Shao (now a postdoc at Stanford)…Calling species 'invasive'—and culling them—isn't done lightly. But it matters to Australia's threatened speciesIt may sound abstract, but distinctions between "native," "introduced" or "invasive" species can often be life or death. Species considered invasive in Australia—such as European rabbits and feral pigs—are often culled, while…Ultracold atoms simulate hard-to-observe matter-antimatter pair productionAccording to quantum electrodynamics, the theory describing interactions between light and electrically charged particles, a sufficiently strong electric field can, in principle, convert some of its energy into particles and…This page holds the headline and a short snippet as published by Phys.org, whose feed they came from.
