Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
The objective of the Strategic Research Cluster (SRC) on Space Robotics Technologies is to advance European research and development in the field of space…
Different physical systems – isolated from the environment and far from equilibrium – can behave the same. Quantum mechanically, this is the case if the…
In our digital world data security and secure communication are becoming more and more important. Quantum communication is a promising approach to achieve…
Researchers created a crystallised version of nitrogen – which at normal conditions is the main constituent of air – by subjecting it to extreme pressures and…
A team of scientists has created the world's most powerful electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz range to control in fine detail how a data-storage material…
The introduction of an electronic patient record system has been discussed in Germany and internationally for quite some time. However, development is often…
Some materials spontaneously emit light if they are excited by an external source, for instance a laser. This phenomenon is known as fluorescence. However, in…
A mere one billion light-years away in the nearby galaxy cluster known as Abell 2597, there lies a gargantuan galactic fountain. A massive black hole at the…
White dwarfs are the final stage in the lives of stars like our Sun. At the end of their lives, these stars eject their outer atmospheres, leaving behind a…
Perovskites are currently receiving a great deal of attention in the solar industry. In 2009, researchers were first able to prove that organic-inorganic…
The field of quantum computation has seen tremendous progress in recent years. Bit by bit, quantum devices start to challenge conventional computers, at least…
“This work has two main results,” said the paper's lead author RQC Scientific Director Michael Gorodetsky, who is also an MSU professor. “First, it serves to…
Quantum computers are being developed by teams working not only at universities but also at Google, IBM, Microsoft and D-Wave, a start-up company. And things…
For more than ten years, the Borexino Detector located 1,400 meters below surface of the Italian Gran Sasso massif has been exploring the interior of our Sun….
