A new technique to calculate the physical running of couplings in quadratic gravity

A new technique to calculate the physical running of couplings in quadratic gravity

Researchers at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, University of Massachusetts, and Instituto de Física Teórica at Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil recently introduced an alternative approach to derive the correct physical beta functions of couplings in quadratic gravity. Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, could contribute to the use of the…

Additional planet orbiting the star TOI-1408 discovered

Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, an international team of astronomers has detected a second planet orbiting a distant main sequence star known as TOI-1408. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-1408 c, is about two times larger and nearly eight times more massive than the Earth. The finding was reported in a research paper published…

With biodiversity under threat, scientists suggest the need for a new biorepository—on the moon

With biodiversity under threat, scientists suggest the need for a new biorepository—on the moon

With numerous species facing extinction, an international team of researchers has proposed an innovative solution to protect the planet’s biodiversity: a lunar biorepository. This concept, detailed in a recent article in the journal BioScience, is aimed at creating a passive, long-lasting storage facility for cryopreserved samples of Earth’s most at-risk animal species. With numerous species facing…
