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…
Astrophysicists get their insights of the universe and its objects from analyzing huge amounts of data from observations and simulations of stars, galaxies and…
Neutrinos are ghostly particles which are extremely hard to detect. They play a central role in how the sun burns, how supernovae explode and how elements are…
Two researchers at Heidelberg University have developed a model system that enables a better understanding of the processes in a quantum-physical experiment…
The results, reported in January in the journal Physical Review Letters, use first principles-based plasma turbulence simulations of experiments performed on…
The performance of electronic devices is constrained by their inability to evenly dissipate the waste heat they produce. Since the waste heat isn't uniformly…
The Industrie 4.0 production plant on display by the SmartFactoryKL partner consortium shows a manual workstation with improved Human-Machine Interaction at…
USB flash drives are already common accessories in offices and college campuses. But thanks to the rise in printable electronics, digital storage devices like…
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured images of the three events.
Researchers supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) have come up with a new approach to improving machine translation tools such as the…
In industrial production, it is crucial that the machines work and that the product does not have any defects. The production process is therefore continuously…
Two galaxies are clearly visible in this Hubble image, the larger of which is NGC 4424. This galaxy is cataloged in the New General Catalog of Nebulae and…

Everything that surrounds us in our everyday life is three-dimensional, no matter how small: salt crystals, pollen, dust – even aluminium foil has a certain…
However, several obstacles still need to be overcome before single-molecule magnet data storage becomes a reality. Finding molecules that can store the…
Now, 50 years later, a group of physicists from Konstanz headed by Dr Peter Keim, were able to prove the Mermin-Wagner theorem by experiments and computer…
The photodissociation of triiodide anion ([I₃]⁻) is a classic textbook reaction that has been extensively studied both in solution and in gas phase. However,…
