When they make their way into homes, some species of termites can be destructive pests. Their fungus-harvesting relatives in Africa and Asia, however, are…
The scientists' report is published in Nature Communications, Nov. 20, by Péter Németh, a former ASU visiting researcher (now with the Research Centre of…
Ultra-short and extremely strong X-ray flashes, as produced by free-electron lasers, are opening the door to a hitherto unknown world. Scientists are using…
As a complete surprise came the discovery that the orbit of G2 matches that of another gas cloud detected a decade ago, suggesting that G2 might actually be…
Using the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility, researchers from DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory and…
In the two decades which passed since the discovery of the first planet outside the Solar system, astronomers have made a great progress in the study of these…
How do galaxies like our Milky Way form, and just how do they evolve? Are galaxies affected by their surrounding environment? An international team of…
Researchers at Cardiff University are trying to work out the possible sounds scientists might expect to hear when the ultra-sensitive LIGO and Virgo detectors…
Steven Blusk, associate professor of physics, has identified particles known as Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-. Although the particles had been predicted to exist, nobody…
On a quest to design an alternative to the two complex approaches currently used to produce electrons within microwave electron guns, a team of researchers…
This work, to which scientists from the University of Helsinki as well as from the Max-Planck-Institutes for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) and…
The new technology holds promise for multimodal sensing and signal processing, and to develop optical coding for computing and other information-processing…
When two detectors are switched on in the US next year, the Cardiff team hope their research will help scientists pick up the faint ripples of black hole…
The materials are called “topological insulators.” Unlike ordinary materials that are either insulators or conductors, topological insulators are in some sense…
The international technology group SCHOTT is involved in the Rosetta mission on exploring Comet Tschuri (67P/Tschurjumow-Gerasimenko). The company supplied…
Starburst galaxies typically result from the merger or close encounter of two separate galaxies. Previous research had revealed spouts of gas shooting outward…
