Computers can learn to find solar flares and other events in vast streams of solar images and help NOAA forecasters issue timely alerts, according to a new…
Every character has a back story, and so do high-temperature superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at much higher temperatures than…
New materials are needed to further reduce the size of electronic components and thus make devices such as laptops and smartphones faster and more efficient….
Recent years have witnessed a rapid evolution of advanced fluorescence imaging techniques, such as single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) that allows…
For decades, scientists have speculated about the origin of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from celestial regions that host black holes and neutron…
A research group led by Assistant Professor Naoyuki Hirata of the Department of Planetology at Kobe University's Graduate School of Science revealed 77 craters…
Because these materials are so new, however, it has been difficult for scientists to identify and characterize Weyl semimetals. A recent theory and modeling…
NGC 4631, the “Whale Galaxy”, located 25 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici, is about 80 thousand light-years across, slightly…
An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has directly observed a surprising quantum effect in a high-temperature iron-containing…
An international research team led by scientists from Göttingen and Potsdam proved for the first time that the galaxy NGC 6240 contains three supermassive…
Plasma β is an important quantity to investigate the interchanging roles of plasma and magnetic pressure in the solar atmosphere. It relates to both the solar…
Gamma Ray Burst – what is that?
Smaller, faster, more energy-efficient – this is the goal that developers of electronic devices have been working towards for years. In order to be able to…
Massive Galaxies like the Milky Way typically consist of hundreds of billions of stars and host a black hole with a mass of several million up to several 100…
On 20 July 2018, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and a few seconds later the Swift Burst Alert Telescope notified the world of a gamma-ray burst, GRB…
The image from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope shows what our galaxy would look like if human eyes could see radio waves.
