Scientists Have Glimpsed 59 New Exoplanets in Our Backyard

Posted by in category: space

They include 43 “Earth and Super-Earths.”


As of 2015, the Consortium’s purpose has been to look for terrestrial-type exoplanets around nearby red dwarf stars. Since then, the CARMENES instrument has doubled the number of known exoplanets around nearby M-type stars using the Radial Velocity Method.

The 59 exoplanets they identified between 2016 and 2019 are either new discoveries or confirmations of previously-detected candidates, including 6 Jupiter-like gas giants, 10 Neptune-like gas giants, and 43 Earths and Super-Earths. A dozen of these latter planets were found to orbit within the stars’ circumsolar habitable zones.

This Startup Is Building Computer Chips With Real Neurons

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, neuroscience

There’s an excessive amount of innovation embedded in right now’s cutting-edge pc chips, however not a lot of it’s as out-of-the-box because the considering that’s driving Australian startup Cortical Labs. The corporate, like so many startups with synthetic intelligence in thoughts, is constructing pc chips that borrow their neural community inspiration from the organic mind. The distinction? Cortical is utilizing precise organic neurons, taken from mice and people, to make their chips.

“We’re constructing the primary hybrid pc chip which entails implanting organic neurons on silicon chips,” Hon Weng Chong, CEO and co-founder of Cortical Labs, informed Digital Tendencies.

That is completed by first extracting neurons in two other ways, both from a mouse embryo or by remodeling human pores and skin cells again into stem cells and inducing these to develop into human neurons.

The tightest ultracool dwarf binary system ever observed

Posted by in categories: physics, space

Previously, astronomers had only detected three short-period ultracool dwarf binary systems. They were relatively young-up to 40 million years old. In a recent study, astrophysicists at Northwestern University and the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) have discovered an extreme system: the tightest ultracool dwarf binary system ever observed.

This newly discovered system is known as LP 413-53AB. It consists of a pair of ultracool dwarfs. The system is estimated to be billions of years old. Surprisingly, its orbital period is at least three times shorter than all ultracool dwarf binaries discovered so far.

The proximity between the two stars is like this: they take less than one Earth day to revolve around each other. Each star’s “year” lasts just 17 hours.
