The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected potential signs of life on exoplanet K2-18b, located 124 light-years away in the constellation of Leo. Astronomers identified chemical signatures such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), which on Earth are indicators of microbial life. K2-18b is categorized as a “Hycean” world with a hydrogen-rich […]

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected potential signs of life on the exoplanet K2-18b in the constellation Leo, 124 light-years away. K2-18b resides in the “goldilocks zone,” optimal for liquid water, essential for life. Detection of atmospheric gases dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide on K2-18b suggests the presence of microbe-like activity similar to […]

Intel Corporation’s stock struggles to maintain stability above $20, reflecting broader volatility in the semiconductor market. The stock has experienced significant fluctuations, dropping from a high of over $30 to the low $20s and high teens. Analysts maintain a “Hold” rating but are optimistic about potential gains, with targets set at $23 and possibly $27. […]
