Astronomers from the Stanford University in California have performed joint X-ray and optical observations of a massive "spider" pulsar designated PSR J2215+5135. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published May 22 on the pre-print server arXiv, provide more hints into the nature of this pulsar.

In the small fishing village where I grew up, we didnt have much. But we helped our neighbors, raised our children to respect the sea, and embraced an inclusive scientific methodology with a cross section of sex, race and gender among study participants that enriched the results of our research.

Teams of robots have the potential of tackling far more elaborate missions than individual robots, for instance, covering long distances faster, visiting different sites simultaneously, or monitoring larger geographical areas. ...

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are designed to artificially reproduce the experience of navigating certain environments. In recent years, videogame and entertainment companies have been producing increasingly ...

An international team of medical researchers has developed a protein-based risk score for hip fracture using an aptamer-based proteomic platform. In their study, published in the journal Nature Aging, the group analyzed data from the Cardiovascular Health Study and used their findings to develop their scoring system.

A team of epidemiologists and environmental medical specialists from Sweden, Iceland and the U.S. has found that women in Sweden living with a premenstrual disorder (PMD) are twice as likely to die by suicide than those without the disorder.

The rapid advancement of electronics and artificial intelligence (AI) tools have opened interesting opportunities for the development of technologies for a wide range of applications. These include implantable devices designed ...

A team of geologists, paleontologists and archaeologists affiliated with several institutions in Poland, Czechia and Germany has found evidence suggesting that the ability to form cornified skin appendages is not unique to terrestrial vertebrates, but goes back to the early evolution of tetrapods.

Study of a partial skeleton found embedded in a rock has resulted in the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. Using a variety of technology and techniques, researchers affiliated with several institutions in the Russian Federation found that the fossil once belonged to a previously unknown dinosaur they have named Kiyacursor longipes.

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from Europe has found that Hawking radiation should be observable by existing telescopes that are capable of detecting very high energy particles of light.
