A strange, newly measured clump of stars orbiting the nearby Andromeda galaxy has the lowest level of heavy chemical elements ever seen in one of these mysterious star clusters. Named RBC EXT8, this ...

This study was carried out smoothly under the leadership of Dr. Ming-Liang Tong (Key Laboratory of Bioinorganic and Synthetic Chemistry of Ministry of Education, School of Chemistry, Sun Yat-Sen ...

Scientists have succeeded in organizing spherical compartments into clusters mimicking the way natural organelles would create complex structures. They managed to connect the synthetic compartments by ...

One of the most sought-after objects in the Universe has just been detected right here in the Milky Way galaxy. At the center of a tightly packed, spherical cluster of stars named Omega Centauri ...

Clustering algorithms help parse large amounts of data, find correlations within subsets of the data, and assess similarity among elements within these subsets. They have become a hot field in recent ...
