With more than 4,000 exoplanets – planets orbiting stars other than our sun – discovered so far, it may seem like we are on the cusp of finding out whether we are alone in the universe. Sadly though, we don’t know much about these planets – in most cases just their mass and their radius.

Can the early stages of Alzheimer’s be detected in the blood?0
- HEALTH
- June 10, 2019
Using current techniques, Alzheimer’s disease, the most frequent cause of dementia, can only be detected once the typical plaques have formed in the brain. At this point, therapy seems no longer possible. However, the first changes caused by Alzheimer’s take place on the protein level up to 20 years prior. A new, two-tier method developed

LIGO scientists announced the first ever detection of gravitational waves in 2016. Image via Pixabay Researchers at the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) have found evidence of six new binary black hole merger events. The black holes were inferred in data released from the second observing run (O2) of the combined advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave

CHIME radio telescope features no moving parts. Image credit: CHIME-experiment. For the second time in history, astronomers have detected a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) originating from outside the Milky Way. The new repeating FRB, dubbed FRB 180814.J0422+73, was detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope in July/August last year. In the
