Three-body nuclear systems are key to many aspects of modern nuclear physics, such as understanding the equation of state of high-density nuclear matter and the composition of neutron star cores. In particular, scattering data from deuterons (bound proton-neutron pairs) and hadrons offer important ingredients for constraining parameters of nuclear interactions.

The newly-developed map of the local Universe is based on the motions of 56,000 galaxies, according to a team of astrophysicists from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam. This map shows the distribution of matter in the local Universe; it shows how matter flows, i.e. along which trajectories (thin lines) the galaxies move. Image credit:
Ceres is a key object in understanding the evolution of small bodies and is the only dwarf planet to have been orbited by a spacecraft, NASA’s Dawn mission. Dawn data paint an inconclusive picture of Ceres’ internal structure, composition and evolutionary pathway. New research shows that a crust with nearly 90% ice near the surface
Sea robins are unusual ocean fish that possess specialized leg-like appendages used to ‘walk’ along the sea floor. New research shows that these appendages aren’t just used for walking; in fact, they are bona fide sensory organs used to find buried prey while digging. Lepidotrigla papilio.

Paleontologists in Brazil have examined the well-preserved fossilized remains of two mammal-precursor species: Brasilodon quadrangularis and Riograndia guaibensis . The findings offer critical insights into the development of the mammalian jaw and middle ear, revealing evolutionary experiments that occurred millions of years earlier than previously thought.

The Neanderthal groups that inhabited a cave in what is now Spain approximately 46,000 years ago gathered and collected fossils, according to a paper published in the journal Quaternary. Marine fossils from Prado Vargas Cave, Spain. Image credit: Ruiz et al., doi: 10.3390/quat7040049. Collecting is a form of leisure, and even a passion, consisting of
