DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08262-7 Since the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have believed that all particles can be classified into one of two groups based on their behavior: boons or fermions. But new research by Rice University physicist Kayden Hazard and former…

Investigating the statistical possibility of triple star systems containing exoplanets
An example of a triple star system. Credit: Caltech/R. Hart (Infrared Processing Analysis Center, or IPAC) Why is it important to look for exoplanets in triple star systems? And how many planets can we find there? That’s what a recent study accepted in Astrophysics & Space Science seeks to address, after investigating the statistical possibility of a triple star system…
