Astronomers from the University of Turku in Finland and elsewhere have performed a broadband spectral and timing study of an ...

Learn how air bubbles trapped in ice have inspired a special code that can improve communication in the Arctic and Antarctica.

When two stars orbit one another in such a way that one blocks the other's light each time it swings around, that's an ...

Binary code is the perfect place to start — it's conceptually simple but practically complex, and to computers, it's everything. Binary is the power behind the 4K YouTube video you're watching ...

"We show how planets in binary systems can undergo a mirrored migration process, so that both stars end up with hot Jupiters.

Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its surrounding airflow, and gravity. Similar variables dictate rolling a pair of dice or shuffling a deck ...

At the core of a quantum computer is the quantum processor, but these technologies are vastly different from the CPUs found ...

“The binary system consists of a white dwarf and a donor star with a mass of around 0.55 and 0.1 solar masses respectively,” van Roestel says. The distance between them is only 0.4 of the radius of ...

Assigning certain sizes, shapes and positions of bubbles to characters within Morse and binary codes means messages could be stored in ice ...

Inspired by naturally occurring air bubbles in glaciers, researchers have developed a method to encode messages in ice. Publishing June 18 in the Cell ...
