Sunspot 1283 bristling with flares: An X1.8 and an M6.7
The third came on September 7 at 6:36 PM ET, and was categorized as an X1.8 by the GOES spacecraft, making it the second X-class flare within 24 hours.There…
Invisible world discovered
NASA's Kepler spacecraft has spotted a planet that alternately runs late and early in its orbit because a second, “invisible” world is tugging on it. This is…
CU-Boulder space instrument observes new characteristics of solar flares
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which is carrying a suite of instruments including a $32 million University of Colorado Boulder package, has provided…
New record for measurement of atomic lifetime
Magnesium atoms are used in research with ultra-precise atomic clocks. The new measurements show a lifetime of 2050 seconds, which corresponds to approximately…
Nanoscale spin waves can replace microwaves
This opens the way to replacing microwave technology in many applications, such as mobile phones and wireless networks, by components that are much smaller,…
