Pioneers in Science: John Mather
With the launch of the James Webb Telescope, this edition of Pioneers in Science honors an integral member of its mission: John Mather.
The next big thing in tech could come from these tiny light absorbers
When the light absorbers are made very small, almost all the device performance metrics improve—but doing this is easier said than done.
Dark matter could be lurking in Jupiter’s atmosphere
Astronomers propose that an infrared glow observed in Jupiter’s atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding.
Gliese 12 b: An exo-Venus with Earth-like temperatures
Orbiting a cool, red dwarf star, Gliese 12 b offers insight into atmosphere retention near stars, sparking new questions about habitability.
New JWST data challenges our understanding of supermassive black holes
The new findings contradict most observations of supermassive black holes, making this an unprecedented discovery.
Astronomers track weather on an exoplanet that rains gemstones
The Hubble Space Telescope saw massive cyclones, storms, and weather chaos in the changing atmosphere of WASP-121b, a planet so hot it rains iron, sapphires, and rubies.
JWST captures stunning images of Uranus
The powerful telescope gave space fans an early Christmas present in the form of a detailed image of Uranus, observed using infrared light.
How ocean worlds could redefine the search for alien life
Scientists investigate “hycean” exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres and liquid water oceans, challenging traditional definitions of habitability.
Subaru Telescope shatters limit, observes supermassive black holes in the early Universe
Scientists have only observed supermassive black holes one billion years after the Big Bang, but astrophysicists have now breached this barrier.
