But now, a research assistant professor Norio Narita of the Astrobiology Center of National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS), which was founded in April…
Mathematicians investigating one of science's great questions — how to unite the physics of the very big with that of the very small — have discovered that…
An international team of astronomers [1] using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has discovered an unexpected population of compact…
Space is cold, dark, and lonely. Deadly, too, if any one of a million things goes wrong on your spaceship. It's certainly no place for a computer chip to fail,…
For the experiment, the scientists shot at a 300-nanometer-thick foil of curium with accelerated calcium nuclei. In the collisions studied, the atomic nuclei…
The basic idea of a quantum computer is to replace the ones and zeros used in today’s bits with quantum states, or qubits. Qubits are units of information that…
The electronic properties of solid state materials used in today´s electronic devices are governed by the properties of the electrons in their basic…
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have developed a new version of reference cells for calibrating solar cells. At the…
A single-photon source never emits two or more photons at the same time. Single photons are important in the field of quantum information technology where, for…
A team of Caltech researchers that has spent years searching for the earliest objects in the universe now reports the detection of what may be the most distant…
By nailing down what percentage of stars have a particular mass within a cluster, or the Initial Mass Function (IMF), scientists can better interpret the light…
The problem of space debris is one of the main challenges that aerospace engineers have to face, due to the danger it poses to satellites. In this context,…
Gum 56 — also known as IC 4628 or by its nickname, the Prawn Nebula — is named after the Australian astronomer Colin Stanley Gum, who, in 1955, published a…
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle collider for nuclear physics research at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National…
As astronomers continue finding new rocky planets around distant stars, high-pressure physicists are considering what the interiors of those planets might be…
The discovery of two supermassive black holes–one larger one and a second, smaller one–are evidence of a binary black hole and suggests that supermassive…
