Researchers Create Metal That Resists Cracking in Deep Space Cold
Researchers have engineered a cobalt-nickel-vanadium alloy that stays tough even at –186°C, resisting the brittleness that plagues most metals in extreme cold. Using atomic-scale design, the team created dual structural patterns inside the alloy that block cracks and preserve ductility. In lab tests, the metal absorbed far more strain than conve...

Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
Astronomers have detected methane in the nearest known T dwarf, offering new insight into its atmospheric composition. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T ...

Earth's Solid Inner Core Is Surprisingly Soft Like Butter, Study Suggests
Scientists recently discovered that Earth's inner core, which was long thought to be hard like a solid metal sphere, might be a lot softer - more like butter.

Iran Gives Notice To UN Nuclear Watchdog Of Making Enriched Uranium Metal
Iran has begun the process of producing enriched uranium metal, the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Tuesday, a move that could help it develop a nuclear weapon and that three European powers said threatened talks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
