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…
Scientists at the University of Bonn have identified new small molecules which can be used for the treatment of diseases characterized by alterations of…

The invention relates to bending tools for tube bending,
including a mandrel. Wrinkles frequently form on the inside of the bend, especially for pipes with…
Described in a forthcoming issue of Physical Review Letters,* the new device is a 1-millimeter-square ion trap with a built-in optical fiber. The authors use…
Described in Nature Physics,* the new research lends more support to the idea that JILA studies of superfluidity (flow with zero friction) in atomic gases may…
The proton – one of the universal building-blocks of all matter – is even smaller than had previously been assumed (Nature, 8 July 2010). This is the result…
The dark cloud is part of the larger, parent nebula known as M17, a vast region of our galaxy with a bright, central star cluster. “We believe we've managed to…
RFID stands for “Radio Frequency Identification” and is about identifying something remotely with the help of wireless technology. A product is provided with a…
A new computer data compression technique called Genomic SQueeZ (G-SQZ), developed by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), will allow genetic…
Star Trek fans will remember “tractor beams,” lasers that allowed the Starship Enterprise to trap and move objects. Tel Aviv University is now turning this…
This environment is not as peaceful as it looks. Ultraviolet radiation and violent stellar winds have blown out an enormous cavity in the gas and dust…
But Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicists are using an ultra-fast laser-based technique they dubbed “nanoshocks” for something entirely different….
