IMAGEMicro X ray method reads ancient meteorite impact scarsTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Researchers from China, Canada, and Japan have established a quantitative method to read the impact histories recorded in enstatite chondrites using micro X ray diffraction measurements. Enstatite chondrites are rare meteorites that formed in highly reducing conditions close to the young Sun and are chemically similar to the material that built Earth, making them key samples for reconstructing e
IMAGEQuasar X ray link to black hole environment found to evolve over cosmic timeLondon, UK (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Astronomers using new X ray data have found evidence that the structure of matter around supermassive black holes has changed over billions of years, challenging a quasar relationship that has been treated as a fundamental law for nearly 50 years. Quasars, identified in the 1960s, rank among the brightest known cosmic sources and are powered by supermassive black holes that draw in surroun
IMAGEChina launches carrier rocket to deploy experimental cargo ship and satelliteTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 China launched a Kuaizhou 11 carrier rocket on Saturday morning to deploy a privately developed experimental cargo ship and a satellite into space. The rocket blasted off at 9:08 am at the Jiuquan Space Launch Center in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and soon placed the DEAR 5 ship and the Xiwang 5B satellite into their preset orbital position, according to China Aerospace Science an
IMAGENew MAGE model links solar storms to geospace responseLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 NASA's Center for Geospace Storms, or CGS, has released the Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment model, or MAGE, a supercomputer-based system that uses NASA mission data to show how different regions of geospace react to solar disturbances. The MAGE model links several existing predictive tools for Earth's magnetosphere, ring current, and upper atmosphere into a single framework, giv

IMAGEThorium plated steel points to smaller nuclear clocksLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Last year a UCLA-led team achieved a long-sought goal in nuclear spectroscopy by making radioactive thorium-229 nuclei absorb and emit photons in a controlled way, a capability scientists had pursued for about 50 years. That work, first proposed by the group in 2008, opened the door to nuclear clocks with very high precision that could influence navigation and tests of fundamental physics.
