  • A Metal-poor Atmosphere with a Hot Interior for a Young Sub-Neptune Progenitor: JWST/NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum of V1298 Tau b

    We present the JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of the young (10–30 Myr) transiting planet V1298 Tau b (9.85 ± 0.35 R⊕, Teq = 670 K). Combined Hubble Space Telescope and JWST observations reveal a haze-free, H/He-dominated atmosphere…

  • Probing Periodic Trends in the TESS Light Curves of the Seventeen Known Double White Dwarf Systems

    There is a relatively large population of known double white dwarfs (DWDs) that were mostly discovered through spectroscopic observations and by measuring their radial velocity variations. Photometric observations from these systems give us…

  • Woman regains speech 18 years after stroke with brain implant

    Woman regains speech 18 years after stroke with brain implant

    Eighteen years after a brainstem stroke left her with near-total paralysis, Ann Johnson heard her voice again, thanks to a brain-computer interface (BCI) that decodes speech directly from brain activity.

    Johnson, then 30, was a high school…

  • Real-time imaging shows electrolyte flow in lithium-sulfur batteries

    Real-time imaging shows electrolyte flow in lithium-sulfur batteries

    A research team at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has, for the first time, used operando neutron tomography to watch how liquid electrolytes move inside practical lithium-sulfur pouch cells with lean electrolyte.

    The findings shed light on…
