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…
Located in the Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way a mere 7,500 light years from Earth, the Carina Nebula has long been a favorite target for astronomers…
To understand our past and imagine our future, we must understand what happens when galaxies collide. But since galaxy collisions take place over millions to…
Mars developed in as little as two to four million years after the birth of the solar system, far more quickly than Earth, according to results of a new study…
How unique is the Milky Way?To find out, a group of researchers led by Stanford University astrophysicist Risa Wechsler compared the Milky Way to similar…
“A star's rotation slows down steadily with time, like a top spinning on a table, and can be used as a clock to determine its age,” says astronomer Soren…
In particular, the Kepler systems with multiple planets are much flatter than our solar system. They have to be for Kepler to spot them. Kepler watches for a…
We know of just over 50 close double white dwarfs but this was only the second ever eclipsing close white dwarf pair to be found. The University of Warwick…
Our invention describes so called duplex drugs by using phosphodiester bounding as a linker between two nucleoside analogues. Their in vivo metabolism delivers…
Our invention describes an implantable electrode array with tripolar, quadrupolar or higher multipolar electrical cells. Furthermore the direction of the…

The invention provides a method for generating realistic 3D-volume models from lower dimensional measurement data, e.g. obtained from a single 2D recording,…
We present new fluorinated amphetamine derivatives, that exert their positive effect not only via the “classic”, well-known dopaminergic system but more…
The star goes by the inauspicious name of Hubble variable number one, or V1, and resides in the outer regions of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, or M31. But…
This advance is made possible by the recent ability to fabricate exotic composite materials known as metamaterials, which are not so much a single substance,…
