Physics and Astronomy
This area deals with the fundamental laws and building blocks of nature and how they interact, the properties and the behavior of matter, and research into space and time and their structures.
innovations-report provides in-depth reports and articles on subjects such as astrophysics, laser technologies, nuclear, quantum, particle and solid-state physics, nanotechnologies, planetary research and findings (Mars, Venus) and developments related to the Hubble Telescope.
'Weird science' uncovered inside neutron star
“If you could put some of this superfluid in a jar it would flow up the walls of the container and over the edge,” said Heinke. Heinke says the core of the…
3-D nanoparticle in atomic resolution
In chemical terms, nanoparticles have different properties from their «big brothers and sisters»: they have a large surface area in relation to their tiny mass…
Finding solid ground
Supersolids and superfluids rank among the most exotic of quantum mechanical phenomena. Superfluids can flow without any viscosity, and experience no friction…
Small Particle Means Big Research for International Physics Project
They're looking at neutrinos, tiny particles with a major influence on physics research.Glenn Horton-Smith, associate professor of physics, is leading the…
When the dust clears: New observations of solar systems in the making
This is the first time that disk structures comparable in size to our own solar system have been resolved this clearly, revealing features such as rings and…
Herschel finds less dark matter but more stars
The galaxies are far away and each boasts some 300 billion times the mass of the Sun. The size challenges current theory that predicts a galaxy has to be more…
