    MIT Discovers Three Oldest Stars in the Universe in Milky Way's Halo

    Broke On: Tuesday, 14 May 2024 MIT researchers discovered three of the oldest stars in the universe, located in our galactic neighborhood. Formed between 12 and 13 billion years ago, these 'SASS' stars once belonged to primitive galaxies absorbed by the Milky Way. Understanding their orbital patterns could reveal insights into galaxy formation.

    Unexpected Flat Rotation Curve Suggests Less Dark Matter in Milky Way's Core

    Broke On: Wednesday, 31 January 2024 The Milky Way's outer stars have a flat rotation curve, which is slower than expected. This suggests that there might be less dark matter in the galaxy's core and further out stars are traveling more slowly compared to those closer to the center.

  • Light Can Cause Water to Evaporate Without Heat, MIT Researchers Find

    Broke On: Monday, 20 November 2023 Researchers at MIT have discovered that light can directly cause water to evaporate without the need for heat. This phenomenon was observed in experiments where water was held in a hydrogel material and exposed to visible light. The researchers found that water molecules escape in bursts, a process that differs from heat-driven evaporation. This discovery could potentially play a significant role in the formation and evolution of fog and clouds, and may have implications for improving the accuracy of climate change modeling.

  • Neutron Star Collision Leads to Detection of Rare Heavy Elements

    Broke On: Wednesday, 25 October 2023 A kilonova, resulting from the collision of two neutron stars, was observed on October 25, 2023. The event led to the creation of heavy elements, including tellurium. The kilonova was the second-brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded. The detection of tellurium provides further evidence for the theory that heavy elements are created in neutron star collisions.
