Astronomers have identified a rare type of binary star system containing a rapidly spinning ... systems can experience a "common envelope" phase, in which one stellar object orbits within the ...

Katy is Managing Editor at IFLScience where she oversees editorial content from News articles to Features, and even occasionally writes some. In 2018, astronomers discovered a brown dwarf binary ...

The analysis of phase decomposition was carried out using the nonlinear and linear Cahn-Hilliard equations in a hypothetical A-B alloy system with a miscibility gap ... than that with the nonlinear ...

The discovery, which relied on data from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, marks the first time that a binary star system has been observed in the vicinity of a ...

One of the most important tools, and perhaps one of the most confusing tools, for metallurgists is the binary phase diagram. A binary phase diagram plots the composition, expressed as a percentage of ...

"If there are planets orbiting around a binary, we call it a 'circumbinary planetary system.'" While we know that planet formation is a byproduct of star formation, we still don’t know the ...

We compare the results of our calculation to the experimental phase diagram. Our method reveals a better ... and compared their results to the predictions, assuming a binary monodisperse system. They ...

This is what’s known as a binary system, where two stars are bound to each other in a sort of gravitational dance—think the iconic twin suns in the sky above Tatooine, the Star Wars planet.

Leaflet–leaflet phase diagrams reveal how cells can control membrane phase behavior by changing both the composition and asymmetric distribution of lipids. We have determined the partial leaflet ...

This remarkable binary system is essentially a one-in-ten-billion system," said Chené. "Prior to our study, the estimate was that only one or two such systems should exist in a spiral galaxy like ...
