Hopping space dust makes asteroids look rougher: Study
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 12 (ANI): When NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at the asteroid Bennu, scientists discovered something surprising about the asteroid's surface wasn't smooth like many were expecting but was covered in large boulders. Now, a team of physicists think they know why.

Dark matter destruction ruled out in galactic center
Updated : 5 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 14 (ANI): The detection more than a decade ago by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope of an excess of high-energy radiation in the centre of the Milky Way convinced some physicists that they were seeing evidence of the annihilation of dark matter particles, but a t

Study focusing on model that may protect minority languages from extinctio
Updated : 5 years, 10 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], April 22 (ANI): Using mathematical modelling, statistical physicists have described two mechanisms through which the minority language extinction scenario does not occur, that is, several languages come to coexist in the same area.
