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…

A world-famous mathematician responsible for solving one of the subject's most challenging problems has published his latest work as a University of Leicester…
To build the computer chips of the future, designers will need to understand how an electrical charge behaves when it is confined to metal wires only a few…
Using the invention, virtually no force is exerted on the abrasive layer during a dressing process. Combined with the small dimensions of the wire electrode…
The conversion of solar energy into electrical power plays a major role in the successful transition to renewable energy sources. Although conventional silicon…
Data from NASA's Dawn mission show that a common form of weathering, which occurs on many airless bodies in the inner solar system like the Moon, does not age…
While similar processes are witnessed in younger solar systems throughout the Milky Way, the formative stages of our own solar system were believed to have…
The glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is one the most important key enzymes in the human organism and is involved in a variety of metabolic processes. <br>
Few other enzymes have such a significant influence on a wide range of cellular processes. The GSK-3 phosphorylates and influences a multitude of proteins in numerous signal pathways which are activated or inhibited in this way….
Both high-valued diamond and low-prized graphite consist of exactly the same carbon atoms. The subtle but nevertheless important difference between the two…
They suggest that the size and location of an asteroid belt, shaped by the evolution of the sun's protoplanetary disk and by the gravitational influence of a…
“The optical and ultraviolet light from stars continues to travel throughout the universe even after the stars cease to shine, and this creates a fossil…
“The objects are both unusually bright and unusually slow to fade. These are properties that are consistent with what is known as pair-instability supernova, a…
This result is a first step towards entangling and twisting even macroscopic, spatially separated objects in two different directions. The researchers at the…
