8+ hour, 58+ min ago (238+ words) inkorr.com Japanese Researchers Develop AI-Powered Nanoelectronic Sensor to Detect Extraterrestrial Life Innovative Electrical Sensor for Detecting Life Scientists at Osaka University in Japan have created a groundbreaking compact electrical device that leverages nanotechnology combined with artificial intelligence to identify…...
Chondrule Size Averaging In Two And Three Dimensions
13+ hour, 7+ min ago (168+ words) Astrobiology Web [astro-ph.EP] Chondrule sizes are an important discriminant of chondrite groups and chondrule formation theories. Yet most studies report 2D sizes without attempting the somewhat tedious corrections to 3D proposed in the past literature. I show here that 3D size averages…...
TOI-6981 b: A Transiting Sub-Neptune At The Water Ice Line
13+ hour, 36+ min ago (300+ words) Astrobiology Web Given its orbital period and high transmission spectroscopy metric (TSM=51 +/- 9), it is one of the only planets in the sparsely populated cold planet regime amenable for atmospheric studies with JWST. Therefore, TOI-6981 b could. possibly become a crucial…...
Testing Whisky in Space Using an Artificial Tongue Could Help Explore Foundations for Orbital Factories
7+ hour, 50+ min ago (255+ words) Learn about an upcoming project that will distill whisky in space, uncovering chemical changes to lay the groundwork for orbital factories. It seems like everything has been sent to space at this point, from paintings to tortillas and even dinosaur…...
