Previous research suggests that brown dwarfs should contain phosphine—which forms when phosphorus combines with ...

When combined with hydrogen, phosphorus forms the molecule phosphine, an explosive, highly toxic gas. Found in the atmospheres of the gas giant planets Jupiter and Saturn, phosphine has long been ...

The detection of the molecule phosphine in a brown dwarf’s atmosphere may help astronomers in their search for life elsewhere in the Milky Way. By Katrina Miller On a brown dwarf dozens of light years ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has made one of the clearest observations to date of phosphine, a molecule that has been the subject of controversy. In recent ...

Brown dwarfs: too small to be stars, too big to be planets. Only discovered in the 1990s, these in-between cosmic objects aren’t big enough to burn as hot and bright as a true star, instead usually ...

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced Sora 2, its second-generation video-synthesis AI model that can now generate videos in various styles with synchronized dialogue and sound effects, which is a first for ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered phosphine in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf — the same chemical that stoked controversy following claims that it had been detected on Venus and ...

Robotic laboratories driven by artificial intelligence algorithms could speed up materials discovery. Researchers have developed a self-driving lab (not shown in the picture) that synthesizes quantum ...

The Perseverance rover's discovery of a potential biosignature found on a sedimentary rock on Mars is an exciting development in our search for life elsewhere in the universe, but how does it rank ...
