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…

Astronomers call this an HII (pronounced “H-two”) region, and this particularly stunning example stretches out across space for over 200 light-years. The name…
“Small robots that are able to work together could explore the planet. We now know there is water and dust so all they would need is some sort of glue to start…

The astronomers used the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope to look at a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years from Earth,…
Pre-tubulysin was already claimed as a hypothetically common preliminary stage of tubulysins in 2004. Now it is available by synthesis and can be used for…
We usually have an image of scientists who study the Universe doing so peering through a telescope. And, effectively, this is what astrophysicists do: gather…
Its potential, however, could still increase significantly due to an invention recently made by a team of interdisciplinary working physicists.Published as…
Using technology developed, in part, by a University of Nottingham spin-out company, an air-race in the skies above Spain saw two stunt pilots battle it out…
This Calar Alto image offers one of the best snapshots ever obtained of this stellar system. It was produced with the camera LAICA attached to the 3.5 m…
Scientists at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have, for the first time, succeeded in rendering the spatial distribution of individual atoms in a…
Theoretical proof of stable and measurable states extending over two quantum dots and creating offspring has now been provided for the first time. This…
The invention affects the novel bacterial enzyme 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose-reductase. In a regio- and stereoselective reaction 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose (AF) is…
