Jupiter’s moon Europa is a fascinating world, with a global subsurface ocean encased in an icy shell and plumes of water vapor that vent into space. A new study has simulated how these plumes might originate, revealing a surprisingly dynamic ice ball.C… Continue reading Europa’s plumes may not originate from subsurface ocean
A new study from the University of Arizona indicates that Jupiter’s four largest moons are as warm as they are thanks to tidal forces caused by the moons’ gravitational fields tugging on one another. This tidal heating may help to explain how the Jovia… Continue reading How gravitational tides help explain the puzzle of Jupiter’s hot moons
Three years ago, scientists from the University of Arizona reported that exposure to green light appeared to reduce neuropathic pain in rats. Now, the researchers believe that such light could also be used to treat migraine headaches in humans.Continue… Continue reading Daily doses of green light may minimize migraines
Exoplanet discoveries are a dime a dozen – but we don’t see many being de-discovered. Now, an exoplanet that was observed by Hubble for 10 years has apparently vanished without a trace, leading astronomers to suggest it may never have been a planet at … Continue reading Astronomers watch as “exoplanet” vanishes before Hubble’s eyes
A small but promising study carried out at University of Arizona has uncovered some interesting possibilities around treatment for common concussion symptoms. The researchers found that by subjecting people with a mild brain injury to a dose of blue li… Continue reading Blue light lowers depression for concussion sufferers in early study
If you’ve ever been kept awake by that ringing in your ears when everything else is quiet, you’d be familiar with how frustrating tinnitus can be. Now, research led by the University of Arizona may have uncovered a new potential treatment tar… Continue reading Treating brain inflammation could help silence tinnitus
