TESS Discovers its First Earth-Sized Planet

NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS, has discovered its first Earth-sized exoplanet. The planet, named HD 21749c, is the smallest world outside our solar system that TESS has identified yet.

Quantum Dot Imaging Advances

Luminescing nanosized crystals are showing promise for peering deeply into body tissues, but first they need to be made safe. Investigations of ‘quantum dots’ for looking deeply into body tissues are rapidly evolving, but more work is required to ensure they are safe, according to a review published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Supercooling of Water Inspires Researcher to Explore the Ability of Dark Matter to Trigger Supercooling

When Matthew M. Szydagis, an assistant professor of physics at the University at Albany, State University of New York, watched YouTube videos of supercooling a bottle of water and stimulating it to freeze by striking it, he got a concrete impression of this idea, particularly when he saw it again during the Disney movie “Frozen.”

Rovers of the Red Planet

If you ask a group of kids to name planets in our solar system, chances are Mars is going to be in the top 3. Mars has always been one of our faves. It’s possible that Mars is our potential ‘back up’ planet if the Earth decided to cark it or maybe it’s the allure of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall.
