All planets are made of gas, ice, rock and metal, and models of how planets form usually assume that these materials don't react chemically with each other. But what if some of them do? UCLA and ...

There they found 73 protoplanetary disks to examine in closer detail, finding that these planet-forming rings of dust and gas are a lot smaller than we thought. Over the last decade, astronomers ...
