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 selection process which started with 5600 applicants has now been finalised with the presentation today of the final four participants at ESA’s Headquarters…
Astronomers are recruiting the physics laboratory to unravel the high energy processes involved in formation of stars and other critical processes within the…

The software can be used by scientists in other immersive environments with slight modifications for their individual laboratories. This advance is a step…
The discoveries, made at MSU’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory using an isotope purification device, will help to refine theoretical models about…
The new chip is similar in type to an existing technology known as complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory — common commercial chips that…
The physicists, engineers and technicians from the University of Delaware's Bartol Research Institute are part of an international team working to build the…
Space-DRUMS is based on the DRUMS device (Dynamically Responding Ultrasonic Matrix System), originally developed by Professor Jacques Yves Guigné, Chief…
It is based on six distributed contact electrodes that measure brain signals on the scalp. The voltage produced is strong enough to reliably extract EEG…
Two years of hard work has culminated in Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) successfully developing the first microelectronic chip for academic and research…
It is known as “Sagittarius A*” (pronounced “Sagittarius A star”). The new research marks the first time that the orbits of so many of these central stars have…
For three years it was possible to do without it. But now it's become necessary again. This coming New Year's Eve, the radio controlled clocks will, after…
Organic compounds can also be a by-product of life processes and their detection on an Earth-like planet may someday provide the first evidence of life beyond…
A key challenge of nanotechnology research is investigating how different materials behave at lengths of merely one-billionth of a meter. When shrunk to such…
Today, W3C has made it easier to create content designed to improve people's mobile experience using a broad range of devices. W3C invites the community to try…
