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 process permits an increased proportion of methane in biogas by introducing hydrogen into the biogas plant. The hydrogen is not pumped into the biogas…
Flocking behavior does not only exist among birds, insects or fish; the microcosm offers similar phenomena, too. A team of scientists including Ferenc Krausz…
Northwestern University researchers have developed a new switching device that takes quantum communication to a new level. The device is a practical step…
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is one of the most important methods to elucidate the structure and dynamics of molecules, especially bio…
The invention includes a resonator for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), which is placed directly in an MRI scanner, so that the local standard magnetic…
Today the eastern third of the U.S. is being buffered by a large storm that stretches from southeastern Minnesota east to Wisconsin and Michigan, then south…

Using a very fast oscilloscope, researchers led by Dan Ralph, the Horace White Professor of Physics, and Robert Buhrman, the J.E. Sweet Professor of Applied…
It has long been suspected that the build up of material onto young stars is not continuous but happens in episodic events, resulting in short outbursts of…
So far, there is no differentiation between fog types available at the automatic stations. Solely visibility can be determined.
The <b>considerable…
