Mysterious âSingingâ Plasma Waves Detected Around Mercury
Around planets that have a magnetosphere, something magical happens.
If you listen with the right instruments, you can hear chirping and whistling, almost like the singing of birds at dawn and dusk. These so-called chorus waves have been recorded at Earth, and Jupiter, and Saturn; and observed at Uranus and Neptune.
Now, led by astronomer Mitsunori Ozaki of Kanazawa University, scientists from Japan and France have detected them whistling around Mercury, barren and alone as it skirts the Sun.
Strange Form of Ice Found That Only Melts at Extremely Hot Temperatures
Super ionic water ice 18 ice 19⊠proven to withstand temperatures many thousands degrees Fahrenheit in the lab is believed to be present in planets like Uranus and Neptune and contributes to the generation of Wonky, multi-polar magnetic fieldsâŠ
Odd things happen inside planets, where familiar materials are subjected to extreme pressures and heat.
Iron atoms probably dance within Earthâs solid inner core, and hot, black, heavy ice â thatâs both solid and liquid at the same time â likely forms within the water-rich gas giants, Uranus and Neptune.
Five years ago, scientists recreated this exotic ice, called superionic ice, for the first time in lab experiments; and four years ago they confirmed its existence and crystalline structure.
We Donât Know Neptune at All
Eventually, maybe by the early 2040s, would like to see every large body in solar system, from the Sun out to Pluto to have a probe like the Cassini probe in a permanent orbit around it. So we have 24/7 live feed / study of all of them. And, ASI could run all of it by that point.
You know, the planet?

NASAâs SPICES sensor to assess the origins of matter in space
It will detect plasma in space and track it back to the Sun, planetary atmospheres, comet tails, and interstellar space.
NASA is working on a concept similar to a hidden decoder ring with which you can read a secret message containing significant information about the objects around you: where they originated from, why they are there, and what will happen to them in the future.
Now, consider the secret decoder ring, a sensor that can be launched into space to reveal secrets about matter in the solar system. Where did this matter come from, how did it get electrified, and how can it affect humanity on Earth and in space?
Research unveils stretchable high-resolution user-interactive synesthesia displays for visualâacoustic encryption
The future of human-machine interfaces is on the cusp of a revolution with the unveiling of a groundbreaking technologyâa stretchable high-resolution multicolor synesthesia display that generates synchronized sound and light as input/output sources. A research team, led by Professor Moon Kee Choi in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST, has succeeded in developing this cutting-edge display using transfer-printing techniques, propelling the field of multifunctional displays into new realms of possibility.
The teamâs research is published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
Traditionally, multifunctional displays have been confined to visualizing mechanical and electrical signals in light. However, this pioneering stretchable synesthesia display shatters preconceived boundaries by offering unparalleled optical performance and precise sound pressure levels. Its inherent stretchability ensures seamless operation under both static and dynamic deformation, preserving the integrity of the sound relative to the input waveform.
Far Beyond Pluto: NASAâs New Horizons To Continue Exploring Outer Solar System
New Horizonsâ mission of exploration of the outer solar system will continue, according to a recently announced updated plan from NASA.
Beginning in fiscal year 2025, New Horizons will focus on gathering unique heliophysics data, which can be readily obtained during an extended, low-activity mode of operations.
While the science community is not currently aware of any reachable Kuiper Belt.
