New Study Challenges Planet Formation Models with PDS 70b’s Chemical Mystery
A new study on PDS 70b, a forming exoplanet located 400 light-years away, reveals a significant mismatch between its atmospheric composition and the surrounding protoplanetary disk. This discovery casts doubt on existing planet formation models, suggesting that more research is needed to understand how planets gather materials and elements during t...

Scientists Move Closer to Adding Element 120 to the Periodic Table with New Technique
Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

Microsoft Launches New Computing Service, Aims to Help Speed Up R&D
Microsoft on Wednesday introduced a new computing service aimed at helping chemical companies speed up the research and development of new materials. Azure Quantum Elements, as the service is called, relies on computing power to help chemical companies simulate huge numbers of possible combinations of atoms. The point is to use computers to explore...

Sun Has More Oxygen and Metals, States New Study Its Chemical Composition
Astronomers have solved a decade-long conflict between the Sun's internal structure as determined by solar oscillations (helioseismology) and the structure derived from the fundamental theory of stellar evolution, which is based on measurements of the present-day Sun's chemical composition. The new estimates put an end to a decade-long debate conce...

Storing Your Vegetables In Plastic Bags? Here's Why You Need To Stop
Plastics are not naturally producing elements of the earth; they are synthetically manufactured with a combination of chemicals. Two class of suspects under scientific scrutiny are bisphenol A and phthalates. When food is stored in plastic bags, these chemicals can leach into the food and infest them. Studies have shown that these chemicals have be...
