Compact Neutrino Detector Successfully Identifies Antineutrinos at Nuclear Reactor
A new study reveals that a small neutrino detector, weighing less than three kilograms, has successfully detected antineutrinos at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant in Switzerland. Over a 119-day experiment, the device recorded around 400 antineutrinos, matching theoretical predictions. Researchers believe this breakthrough could enhance nuclear mo...

Chorus Waves Found Far From Earth Raise Concerns for Space Exploration
Chorus waves, energetic electromagnetic bursts resembling bird chirps, have been detected 100,000 miles from Earth, far beyond their usual range. NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites observed these waves in a flatter region of Earth's magnetosphere, contradicting prior assumptions about their formation near strong magnetic gradients. The wav...

Thunderstorms May Skew Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Ray Measurements, Experts Warn
The detection of ultra-high-energy gamma rays by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in Tibet has sparked debate over the accuracy of the findings. Experts suggest that thunderstorms could interfere with measurements by amplifying particle showers in the atmosphere, leading to overestimated gamma ray energy levels. A study by As...

A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

NOAA's New Solar Telescope Captures Dramatic Footage of the Sun Spraying Huge Charged Particles
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled remarkable footage from the new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which is aboard the GOES-19 satellite. This advanced telescope captures charged particles and solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona, vital for monitoring solar activity as it approaches its peak in 2025. By blockin...

Sensor to Track Medication Intake in 30 Seconds Using Sweat Developed: Details
An electrochemical sensing device has been developed to monitor lithium levels in patients, which could help keep track of patients' medication intake. The sensor uses a water-based gel containing glycerol to detect charged particles of lithium in the sweat which usually is present in minute amounts. The results showed that the measurement fell wer...

NASA to Launch EMIT Mission Aboard SpaceX to Study How Dust Particles Affect Earth: How to Watch Live Broadcast
NASA to launch a probe to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 10 that will monitor climate change on Earth. Named Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), this probe will study the composition of mineral dust from Earth's arid regions and how the desert dust carried through the atmosphere affects the planet.

As Strict Anti-Emission Norms Kick In, Finer Particles Are New Threat
Better technology may not end the pollution crisis. Rather, it would allow one to monitor even finer particles which would become new health threats.
