AI can help with research, but asking ChatGPT to do your literature review might not be the best place to start.

Five AI tools to consider adding to your workflow are Consensus, Elicit, ResearchRabbit, scite, and Perplexity. Each helps researchers navigate scientific literature, synthesize findings, map research connections, and evaluate citations.

How do you find a planet you can’t see? By measuring a tiny wobble in its star. 🔭
 
As a planet orbits its star, its gravity creates subtle shifts in the star’s motion that can be detected with high-precision spectrographs. Today, astronomers are pushing these techniques even further to study planetary atmospheres and search for Earth-like worlds.
