The most obvious effects of too much sun exposure are cosmetic, like wrinkled and rough skin. Some damage, however, goes deeper—ultraviolet light can damage…
On the quest for novel solutions for future information technology, scientists from the University of Hamburg and the Forschungszentrum Jülich managed to…
An international group of astronomers including a scientist from the University of Göttingen has found an explanation of the long-standing mystery of why…
This new detection is considered one of the most reliable distance measurements of a galaxy that existed in the early universe, said the Hubble researchers….
Computer chips with superconducting circuits — circuits with zero electrical resistance — would be 50 to 100 times as energy-efficient as today's chips, an…
Now, for the first time ever, an international team of researchers has successfully tested a new model that explains how magnetic fields form these emissions…
Their model predicts that a bright hot star, which is the binary companion to an exploding object, remains after the explosion. To verify their theory, the…
The new information will help researchers better understand how our nearest star transfers energy through its atmosphere and track the dynamic solar activity…
This galaxy offers a peek back to the very early formative years of the universe and may just be the tip of the iceberg.
To help laser systems overcome loss, operators often pump the system with an overabundance of photons, or light packets, to achieve optical gain. But now…
The KBOs were detected through a dedicated Hubble observing program by a New Horizons search team that was awarded telescope time for this purpose.
This question has baffled astronomers for decades. Today, a team led by Paola Testa of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is…
Using a patented experimental device and large-scale numerical simulations, the team obtained data consistent with astrophysical observations.
For as long as astronomers have been looking to the skies, we have had just one planetary system—our own—to study in depth. That means we have only…
These new radio observations, which are the highest sensitivity of their kind ever undertaken, reveal that within a well-defined boundary around our Galaxy,…
For scientists probing the electronic structure of materials using a relatively new technique called resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering (RIXS) in the…
