Uranium forms rare triple bond with carbon in newly isolated compound

In a study published in Nature Chemistry, an international team of researchers from Germany and the U.K., including chemists from The University of Manchester, has synthesized and characterized what they describe as the first isolable uranium Fischer-type carbyne, a compound in which carbon forms an unusual triple-bond interaction with uranium.

Protons ride moving waves to reach record energy with long-pulse lasers

Imagine a proton catching a wave and surfing it to gain speed. While the imagery may seem wild, the premise of laser-driven ion acceleration has promise as an alternative to conventional accelerators. However, the ultrathin targets used to drive this increase in ion energy are vulnerable to the weak prepulse that precedes the main high-intensity laser pulse, meaning an adaptation in the process is necessary.

Two active magma reservoirs may lie beneath Masaya volcano, near 2 million people

Masaya volcano in Nicaragua sits within 13 miles (21 kilometers) of 2 million people and is a popular tourist destination due to its lava lake. Penn State researchers recently found evidence of two new magma sources under the active volcano, highlighting what they called the critical importance of understanding transitions in volcanic behavior and shallow magma processes, especially when they potentially pose hazards to local communities.

NASAโ€™s Roman telescope just opened its planet-hunting eye

NASAโ€™s Roman Space Telescope has demonstrated remarkable pointing stability and given its powerful planet-imaging coronagraph its first look at the cosmos. The telescope can already stay locked on a target with precision comparable to aiming a laser at a dime from about 150 miles away. Its coronagraph also captured stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, confirming that the instrument can produce focused images.

Nearly 6 in 10 people with high blood pressure donโ€™t know they have it

Nearly 6 in 10 people with high blood pressure in a large England study had never been diagnosed or treated, and half of those already taking medication still had elevated readings. Researchers say a more proactive approach to finding and controlling hypertension could prevent thousands of heart attacks and strokes.

The economy is resilient: Why do many Americans feel differently? An expert explains

Even as the Federal Reserve moves to raise interest rates for the first time in three years, many of the metrics that economists rely on to gauge the overall health of the economyโ€”like jobs reports, the unemployment rate and the stock marketโ€”have looked relatively strong in recent months. Despite this, only about 24% of Americans rated the economy as "good" or "excellent" in a recent Pew Research Center survey.
