In 1877, the American astronomer Asaph Hall discovered two small moons circling the planet Mars, later named Phobos and Deimos after the Greek for 'fear' and 'panic'.
But it was excitement, rather than fear and panic, that characterised the close encounter with Phobos made by ESA's Mars Express spacecraft in the run up to Halloween this year. The recent flyby of the larger martian moon off ... more |

An Earth-like planet orbiting an M dwarf - the most common type of star in the universe - appears to have no atmosphere at all. This discovery could cause a major shift in the search for life on other planets. Because M-dwarfs are so ubiquitous, this discovery means a large number of planets orbiting these stars may also lack atmospheres and therefore are unlikely to harbor living things.

Computer chips are packed with billions of microscopic transistors that enable powerful computation, but also generate a great deal of heat. A buildup of heat can slow a computer processor and make it less efficient and reliable. Engineers employ heat sinks to keep chips cool, sometimes along with fans or liquid cooling systems; however, these methods often require a lot of energy to operate. ... more |
