Bizzare 'Failed Star' Planet Orbiting Double Star System in Milky Way Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet 90 degrees tilted around a special pair of eclipsing brown dwarfs. This uncommon "polar planet" challenges accepted wisdom on planet creation by presenting new insights on the dynamics of binary stars and the range of Milky Way planetary orbits.

Major Disruption Has Left Arctic Polar Vortex Away from North Pole, Scientists Alert
As the polar vortex fades, temperatures in Northern Europe, portions of Asia, and the eastern United States will be below average. Temperatures for the last week of March were pretty normal across the eastern U.S., but the latest forecasts do predict increased chances of below-normal temperatures for the next week.

New Polar Cataclysmic Variable Identified by Astronomers: What You Need to Know
Astronomers have detected ZTF J0112+5827, a newly identified polar cataclysmic variable. This binary system, composed of a white dwarf and a low-mass donor star, features an 80.9-minute orbital period and a strong magnetic field of 38.7 MG. It lacks an accretion disk, with emissions mainly from its accretion stream and magnetic field lines. The sys...

Polar Bear Fur's Natural Oil Prevents Ice Build-Up, Study Finds
Scientists have uncovered a surprising feature of polar bear fur: a natural oil that prevents ice accumulation. Unlike penguins, which rely on feather structure, polar bears benefit from a chemical composition that keeps their fur ice-free. A study published in Science Advances found that unwashed polar bear fur performed as well as high-performanc...

New Link Found Between Ferroelectric Domain Walls and Superconductivity in 2D Materials
Scientists from the University of Cambridge and Argonne National Laboratory have uncovered a link between ferroelectric domain walls and superconductivity in 2D materials. Their study shows how specific structural features enhance electron-phonon interactions, especially in materials like molybdenum ditelluride (MoTeâ‚‚), paving the way for new sup...
