Mar. 16, 2021 , 12:45 PM Camille Noûs first appeared on the research scene 1 year ago, as a signatory to an open letter protesting French science policy. Since then, Noûs has been an author on 180 journal papers, in fields as disparate as astrophysics, molecular biology, and ecology, and is racking up citations. But Noûs is not a real person. The name—intentionally added to papers, sometimes without the knowledge of journal editors—is meant to personify collective efforts in science and to protest individualism, according to RogueESR, a French research advocacy group that dreamed up th...

Every day space telescopes provide spectacular images of the solar activity. However, their instruments are blind to its main driver: the magnetic field in the outer layers of the solar atmosphere, where the explosive events that occasionally affect the Earth occur. The extraordinary observations of the polarization of the Sun's ultraviolet light achieved by the CLASP2 mission have made it possible to map the magnetic field throu...

BOZEMAN — Montana State University physicist Dana Longcope was awarded the National Academy of Science’s Arctowski Medal last week. The medal, given every other year, is a recognition of significant

Prominent Scientists Predict Unusually Strong Solar Cycle, Contradicting Previous Expert Forecast KEY POINTS NCAR scientists believe otherwise, based on their "solar clock" NCAR's findings have received approval from the National Science Foundation A team led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has predicted that a new sunspot cycle could be one of the strongest on record.  According to a report published in Solar Physics, the team -- which includes scientists from the University of Warwick in Coventry, England -- predicts that Sunspot Cycle 25 will have a maximum sunspot ...

Juventas CubeSat coming in for asteroid landing (Credit: ESA – Science Office) ELCHE, Spain (EMXYS PR) — EMXYS and the Royal Observatory of Belgium have been selected by the European Space Agency to provide a gravimeter for the Juventas spacecraft that will land on asteroid Dimorphos as part of the European Space Agency’s planetary defence programme. EMXYS and the Royal Observatory of Belgium will provide the GRASS instrument that will make measurements on the gravity field of the asteroid Dimorphos. The gravimeter is part of the Juventas Cubesat, manufactured by GomSpace Luxemburg, tha...
