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 present invention is a process for the simple synthesis of γ-spirolactams from chloroacetonitriles and aromatic carboxylic acids. Up to now, there was no…
An additional video analysis tool helps to identify and arrange i. a. representative scenes in movies, thus allowing better organization and management of…
By combining graphene with metallic nanostructures, they show a twentyfold enhancement in harvesting light by graphene, which paves the way for advances in…
Scientists from the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville have determined that an inexpensive semiconductor material can be “tweaked” to…
A star that changes into a diamond planet? What sounds like science fiction is apparently reality. The discovery was made by an international team of…
To serve remote areas of the world, doctors, nurses and field workers need equipment that is portable, versatile, and relatively inexpensive. Now researchers…
It may not be much use to hitchhikers through the galaxy, but it is extremely valuable to astronomers: the new radio atlas of the Milky Way. After almost ten…
During the epoch when the first galaxies formed, it is believed that they radiated energy, which hit surrounding neutral hydrogen atoms and excited them to the…
The LHCb experiment studies this phenomenon by observing the way B mesons decay into other particles. The new results reinforce earlier measurements from LHCb…
After nine months of number-crunching on a powerful supercomputer, a beautiful spiral galaxy matching our own Milky Way emerged from a computer simulation of…
Typical LSCMs take 3-D images of thick tissue samples by visualizing thin slices within that tissue one layer at a time. Sometimes scientists supplement these…
One advantage of this voltage-induced magnet control is that less power is needed to encode information than in a traditional system. But earlier this year,…
A possible solution could be to encode ones and zeros, not with voltage, but with electron spin, and researchers have now quantified some of the benefits this…
In an attempt to increase safety in general aviation aircraft, the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University is making it…
Crystals can guide and control light and electricity by creating spatially periodic energy barriers. An electron (or photon) can pass through these barriers…
Our invention describes so called duplex drugs by using phosphodiester bounding as a linker between two nucleoside analogues. Their in vivo metabolism delivers…
