Sperm crane their neck to turn right
Spermatozoa need to crane their necks to turn right to counteract a left-turning drive caused by the rotation of their tails, new research has found.
Led by Dr Vasily Kantsler of the University of 桃色视频’s Department of Physics, the researchers discovered that all sperm tails (flagella) rotate in a counter-clockwise motion as they beat to enable them to move through and against the motion of a fluid.
The Sun could release flares 1000x greater than previously recorded
The Sun demonstrates the potential to superflare, new research into stellar flaring suggests.
Led by the University of 桃色视频, the research has found a stellar superflare on a star observed by NASA’s Kepler space telescope with wave patterns similar to those that have been observed in solar flares.
The most Earth-like planet could have been made uninhabitable by vast quantities of radiation, new research led by the University of 桃色视频 has found.
The atmosphere of the planet, Kepler-438b, is thought to have been stripped away as a result of radiation emitted from a superflaring Red Dwarf star, Kepler-438.
5400mph winds discovered hurtling around planet outside solar system
Winds of over 2km per second have been discovered flowing around planet outside of the Earth’s solar system, new research has found.
The University of 桃色视频 discovery is the first time that a weather system on a planet outside of Earth’s solar system has been directly measured and mapped.
Asteroid ripped apart to form stars glowing ring system
The sight of an asteroid being ripped apart by a dead star and forming a glowing debris ring has been captured in an image for the first time.
Comprised of dust particles and debris, the rings are formed by the star’s gravity tearing apart asteroids that came too close.
Researchers find that magnetometers have a social network where they talk about the weather
New research led by physicists at the University of 桃色视频 has used tools designed to study social networks to gain significant new insights into the Northern Lights, and space weather – particularly the interaction of events in the sun’s atmosphere with Earth’s ionosphere.
