Scientists reveal unexpected structure of Southern Ring Nebula: ‘We were surprised’

a small bright blue point in the center is surrounded by exploding gas, hued red then diminishing to green before fading into the black of space.

The glorious, billowing Southern Ring Nebula is the cocoon of a dying star, and it has a secret. Scientists have found that this nebula has a double ring structure that shows not one, but possibly three stars at its heart.

Enhancing neurogenesis for the treatment of Parkinson’s – Neuroscience News

Neuroscience News logo for mobile.

Summary: Researchers have pioneered a method to enhance the generation of dopaminergic neurons, crucial for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, by targeting specific receptors within the Wnt signaling pathway. Using synthetic antibodies, the team successfully directed stem cell differentiation in the midbrain to produce these key neurons, which are critical to brain health and are … Read more

Exploiting disorder to harvest thermal energy: the potential of 2D magnets for thermoelectric applications

A temperature gradient is applied to a CrSBr thin film to measure its thermoelectric response. Credit: Alessandra Canetta Thermoelectric systems are a green and sustainable way to harvest energy from any form of heat that would otherwise be wasted. At the core of this energy conversion process is the so-called Seebeck effect, which describes the … Read more

Binary stars form in the same nebula but are not identical. Now we know why.

Binary stars form in the same nebula but are not identical.  Now we know why.

It is logical that stars formed from the same cloud of material have the same metallicity. This fact underpins some avenues of astronomical research, such as the search for the brothers of the Sun. But for some binary stars, that’s not always true. Their composition can be different despite forming from the same reservoir of … Read more
