Planet-Eating Stars Offer a Glimpse Into Earth’s Fate as the Sun Nears Its Final Stages
Astronomers studying aging Sun-like stars have found strong evidence that stars consume their closest planets as they evolve. Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, researchers observed fewer planets around older stars, suggesting worlds are destroyed over time. The findings offer a realistic preview of Earth’s fate billions of years from now.

New Ionic Liquid Breaks Stability Barrier for Perovskite Solar Cells
A new ionic liquid additive developed by researchers at Purdue and Emory universities could transform perovskite solar technology. The compound stabilises crystal growth and buried interfaces, dramatically slowing heat- and light-driven degradation. Solar cells treated with the additive retained about 90% of their efficiency after 1,500 hours at 90°C, outperforming p...
