Some massive stars collapse into ultra-dense, rapidly spinning neutron stars called pulsars, which are some of the more powerful and fascinating objects in the cosmos, just behind black holes. But so… [+2093 chars]
On July 26, NASA reported that a 400-feet wide asteroid will be making a close approach towards the Earth tomorrow, on July 29. This is a big incident since in the last two months, we have not seen a… [+2032 chars]
A textbook process called “Ostwald ripening,” named after the Nobel Prize-winning chemist Wilhelm Ostwald, has directed the design of new materials such as nanoparticles for decades. These are tiny m… [+3492 chars]
On Monday, July 25, NASA shared a stunning Mars image. It displayed the surface of the red planet with sand dunes that form small hilly crests. However, the top of the crests were covered in a blue c… [+2015 chars]
