Extraterrestrial life paper from phys.org
Another interesting paper on extra terrestrial life. I was not aware of the term 'Terminator Zone' till today. Posted to fedi by Mikko Tuomi : @mustapipa@scicomm.xyz

Comment
I will see if I can download the paper, and add it to my reading list, but we are learning all the time.
So looking at the “terminator zone,” which is a ring on planets that have one side that always faces its star and one side that is always dark. “.

New Science discoveries 1
Something else found on the Fediverse. This was posted by Science Alert. The links should work from here too, if not you will need an account on a Mastodon instance. So lots of interesting things happening

- Viruses and neuro
- Reviving dodos
- Pollinating robot
- Exoplanet time-lapse
- Ancient goo

Magnetic fields on cosmological galaxy mergers
This is an interesting paper on Archive. Looking at how magnetic fields and galaxy mergers.
I have added links to the thread on the Fediverse, and provided a link to Science Forums for further discussion.
2301.13208 The impact of magnetic fields on cosmological galaxy mergers — II. Modified angular momentum transport and feedback

Search for gravitational waves set to resume
Search for gravitational waves set to resume following COVID-19 setbacks
Physics world have reported that the The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA will resume. They are looking for gravitational waves. You can read the full article here. Back in 2021, there was a talk at FOSDEM about Virgo which I made a post about on 7/3/2021.
There is some info on Ligo at the STEM group, which I can re-display if anyone is interested.

On this day in History : Diana Project
I guess this could also be seen as the beginning of radio astronomy once we learned we could get signals outside of the ionosphere.

New SI prefixes go large and small
Just sharing this from Physics world magazine as It seems relevant to anyone interested in large and small numerical values.
So basically we are looking at :
- $10^{27}$ – Nonna
- $10^{30}$ – quecca Along with their counterparts
- $10^{-27}$ – ronto
- $10^{-30}$ – quecto

Possible Wormhole detection method
Another article posted to Mastodon, this time on the detection of wormholes. I think the idea they could be masquerading as black holes actually makes some sense. I seem to remember one theory that a worm hole was two black holes connected together.
Scientists in Bulgaria may have figured out how to detect wormholes
Turns out they might be masquerading as black holes
A team of researchers at the University of Sofia in Bulgaria may have figured out a novel method for detecting wormholes — assuming, of course, they exist at all.
I have also included a link to science forums to start a conversation on there too.
There isn't any maths in the article, which is just as well as some of the maths for this stuff looks mindbogglingly complicated.

UK Nuclear fusion plant
Nuclear fusion plant to be built at West Burton A power station.
This sounds like a really exciting development and should hopefully help the UK take the lead in a clean and sustainable energy resource.
This is also an excellent reason, regardless of where you live to study STEM. While this plant is not due to start until 2040. This is only 18 years away, so if you are heading in to year 7, then by the time you have obtained a post graduate or other hi-tech qualification you should be employable within this industry.

The power of photonics: from vertical farming to quantum computing
The power of photonics: from vertical farming to quantum computing
I am sharing this link from Physics World, August 31st. Torbay has some industry leading photonics companies, so anyone locally reading this may be interested.
James McKenzie marvels at the wonders of photonics, which is so much more crucial to everyday life than it first appears
