  • Jupiter’s moon Io has been volcanically active for billions of years
    Apr 20 2024

    Io, Europa, and Ganymede are in an orbital configuration known as a Laplace resonance: For every orbit of Ganymede , Europa completes exactly two orbits, and Io completes exactly four.

  • A new type of seismic sensor to detect moonquakes
    Apr 20 2024

    Unlike the Earth, the Moon is not tectonically active. Lunar quakes have different origins: Some are caused by day-to-night thermal differences as the surface varies in temperature.

  • Quantum sensors to image Meissner effect in hydride supercondutors
    Apr 20 2024

    https://thescience.dev/quantum-sensors-to-image-meissner-effect-in-hydride-supercondutors/

    Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theory predicts that when crushed by the weight of more than a million times the Earth’s atmosphere, this light, abundant, normally gaseous element first becomes a metal, and even more strangely, a superconductor – a material that conducts electricity with no resistance.
