Twenty years after Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, astronomers continue to debate its status. Critics argue that Pluto's complex geology makes it a true planet and that the IAU's strict definition hurts public science engagement. What do you think?

The debate as to whether Pluto is a dwarf planet, or a fully fledged planet, continues to rage.

Riddle of the day: What gets hotter the longer it stands in the August sun, but never sweats?

Deuterium fusion rates inside metal foils plateau at ultralow energies instead of dropping off as expected. This reveals that metal lattices actively enhance nuclear reactions, though the output remains far too small for energy generation.

Experiment suggests the environment matters when deuterium fuses

Cooling radioactive radium molecules near absolute zero enables high-precision tabletop searches for new physics. This offers a compact alternative to particle accelerators for detecting fundamental symmetry violations.

Nuclear symmetry violations could show up in molecules containing pear-shaped radium nuclei

RIT’s latest software update, the RIT Family of Products Version 7.0, features automated Catphan Materials Baseline Slice Width. The baseline for the slice width is now taken from the DICOM slice tag and user-specific tolerances are applied, saving you time. Learn more about this and all the new features in V7.0: https://radimage.com/features/whats-new-v70/

A new AI model analyzes MRI scans to map how specific regions of the brain age independently. By revealing localized patterns of accelerated aging in areas like the hippocampus, the tool enables earlier detection and tracking of Alzheimer's disease.

The model showed differences in brain structures for normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer’s disease.

At RIT’s solar powered office in Colorado Springs, our solar panels produced an average of 572 kilowatt hours per day in July, a slight decrease from June as the days slowly get shorter. We’ve also been experiencing a big heatwave, which is not optimal for solar power production

A new computer model reveals that millions of large planets could form within the dust-rich disks surrounding active supermassive black holes. This unexpected mechanism allows dust to clump into "lava ball" planets before they eventually migrate to safer orbits. Learn more here:

"We were totally amazed when we noticed this mass and size range of planet formation."
