NASA’s Lucy Gears Up for a Thrilling Close Encounter With a Mysterious Space Relic
NASA’s Lucy mission is about to fly past asteroid Donaldjohanson, a strange, elongated rock in the main belt. While this three-mile-wide object isn’t one of Lucy’s primary targets, the April 20 flyby serves as a full dress rehearsal before the spacecraft heads toward the Trojan asteroids near Jup
Astronomers detect strongest sign yet of possible life on a planet beyond our own
Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious.
Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the astronomers, led by the University of Cambridge, have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b, which orbits its star in the habitable zone.
On Earth, DMS and DMDS are only produced by life, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton. While an unknown chemical process may be the source of these molecules in K2-18b’s atmosphere, the results are the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system.

Scientists detect strongest hints yet of life on a distant planet
At the same time, he noted, there was still a 0.3% chance that their observation was a statistical fluke. “We need to be open and continue exploring other scenarios,” he added.
K2-18b is part of the “sub-Neptune” class of nearly 6,000 exoplanets that have been discovered beyond the solar system since the 1990s.
Finding evidence of life in the cosmos was the “holy grail” of exoplanet science, Madhusudhan said.

Rare one-dimensional quantum magnetism discovered in metallic Ti₄MnBi₂ compound
A study by researchers from the University of British Columbia’s Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (UBC Blusson QMI) has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in the metallic compound Ti4MnBi2, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical.
The study, published in Nature Materials, comes at a time of growing global interest in quantum materials that redefine the boundaries between magnetism, conductivity, and quantum coherence.
“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong coupling between the magnetic moments and their metallic host,” said UBC Blusson QMI Investigator Prof. Meigan Aronson.
