Nearly two-thirds of Australian children surveyed in a recent study have received at least one form of grooming-related communication from a stranger online in the past year, while almost one-third reported receiving direct requests for sexual information or interactions.
STEM majors are expected to know how to critically read scientific research, even if no one ever taught them how. UC San Diego alumni Genevive Bjorn and Adam Burgasser wrote “How to Critically Read the Scientific Research Literature: Introducing the CERIC Method” to help young researchers learn how

An international research team led by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has discovered an isolated pulsar located within the tidal tail of NGC 6791, one of the oldest and most massive open clusters in the Milky Way. By combining observations from the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), the MeerKAT radio telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope

Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have discovered a new class of objects behaving unlike any they have seen before. Astronomers suggest these newly spotted objects in other galaxies may help solve not one, but two long-standing questions in astrophysics. These mysterious objects give off unusually low-energy X-rays but intense levels of ultraviolet radiation. This […]

In the vast cosmos, supernova explosions are widely regarded as the most brilliant fireworks in the universe. Among them, Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are hailed as "standard candles" due to their highly consistent peak luminosity, making them a key tool for measuring cosmic distances. However, a recent study has found that even SNe Ia that appear nearly identical may hide small "genetic" differenc

Are the large-scale magnetic fields of magnetars dominated by a dipolar structure, or is a significant magnetic-field twist required to explain the observations? A recent study by researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has found that the observed X-ray polarization of two magnetars can be explained by dipole-dominated magnetic fields,
