Hundreds of Moon-sized worlds may orbit the Sun far beyond Neptune, sculpting the geometry of the outer Solar System. So far, astronomers have spotted only a handful of these objects — but if ...

Using a mathematical model based on natural evolution, researchers have developed an organic solar cell design that ... researchers sought to design the geometric pattern of the scattering layer ...

losing their original shape. That’s because stretching a material can alter its geometric substructure. When something like a rubber band is pulled, that tension stretches the rubber out ...

Named Zhurong after the ancient Chinese god of fire, the rover landed on Mars’ Utopia Planitia—the largest impact basin on Mars (and the entire Solar System for that matter). Equipped with a ...

"One can only wonder what might lie hidden beneath the surfaces of all of the other planets in the solar system ... is so strikingly geometric and in such an unexpected shape that it is forcing ...

“Uranus is a geometric nightmare,” says Paty. The ice giant has the most extreme axial tilt of all planets in the solar system, spinning on a near-horizontal axis. Furthermore, its magnetic axis is at ...

Then, they looked into how these variables might affect the shape of the ... sun's corona during a total solar eclipse. In turn, IXPE allows astronomers to understand the geometry of the accretion ...
