New data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows where crystalline silicates form around young stars and how disk outflows transport them to colder, outer regions.

“EC 53’s layered outflows may lift up these newly formed crystalline silicates and transfer them outward, like they’re on a cosmic highway,” lead author Jeong-Eun Lee, professor at Seoul National ...

After years of speculation, scientists finally believe they have figured out the crystal conundrum thanks to new imaging from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Their explanation, detailed in a ...

A team led by Lee Jeong-eun, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Seoul National University, has identified the mechanism by which crystalline silicates form and move in the ...
