Researchers have successfully applied gyrochronology, which links star rotation rates to their ages, to field stars outside of clusters. This method, tested on over 300 wide binary stars, shows that field stars follow similar age patterns as those in clusters, promising more accurate aging of a larger number of stars. Credit: SciTechDaily.comGyrochronology, a technique for estimating star ages based on rotation, has been extended from cluster stars to field stars, revealing consistent aging patterns and broadening the…

Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearchers at the University of Bonn examine the inner workings of machine learning applications in drug research.Artificial intelligence (AI) has been advancing rapidly, but its inner workings often remain obscure, characterized by a “black box” nature where the process of reaching conclusions is not visible. However, a significant breakthrough has been made by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bajorath and his team, cheminformatics experts at the University of Bonn. They have devised a technique that uncovers…

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research.The holiday season is upon us, and with it, opportunities to indulge in festive treats. The proverbial saying “you eat with your eyes first” seems particularly relevant at this time of year.The science behind eating behavior, however, reveals that the process of deciding what, when and how much to eat is far more complex than just consuming calories when your body needs fuel. Hunger cues are only part…

Researchers conducted a novel study on the runaway greenhouse effect, revealing how a critical threshold of water vapor can lead to catastrophic climate changes on Earth and other planets. The research reveals a significant cloud pattern that contributes to this irreversible climate change, providing insights into exoplanet climates and their potential to support life. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA team from UNIGE together with CNRS has managed to simulate the entire runaway greenhouse effect, which can make a planet…
