Last update: 5 hours agoChemistry Nobel: Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai won for methods that steer chemical reactions toward a molecule’s desired mirror-image form—a breakthrough behind many modern medicines. Cosmic Firework: New Gemini North images show the supernova remnant Pa 30 in unprecedented detail, revealing about 10 times more structure in its gas filaments. Nuclear Clocks: Researchers in Vienna and Beijing say they have built the first nuclear clocks, a potential leap in precision timekeeping and a new way to test fundamental physics. Physics Nobel: Francis Halzen was honored for helping create IceCube, the Antarctic detector that captures high-energy neutrinos and opens a window on distant cosmic events. Mapping the Universe: Scientists used AI and a vast sky survey to identify 70 new gravitational lenses—natural magnifiers that can help probe dark matter and galaxy evolution. Exoplanet Science: Astronomers report a possible first direct glimpse of an exoplanet’s magnetic field, inferred from radio signals from Beta Pictoris b; the finding is not yet peer-reviewed.
