The radiation field at the centre of the Milky Way must be 1,000 times stronger than in the area surrounding our sun. Astrophysicists of the “Milky Way Galaxy”…
Understanding the changes energy from the sun undergoes as it travels away and out into space is crucial for scientists to achieve their goal of some day…
“One of the most exciting results from this very first solid sample ingested by Curiosity is the high percentage of water in the soil,” said Laurie Leshin,…
The dust, astronomers believe, is a key phase in the life cycle of stars, which are formed in dusty nurseries throughout the cosmos. But how the dust interacts…
New research published today increases our understanding of Earth's space environment and how space weather develops. Some of the energy emitted by the sun…
In a feat that has never before been observed, the star readily shifts back and forth between two mutually exclusive styles of pulsed emission — one in…
Simulating solid state properties with precisely controlled quantum systems is an important goal of the Quantum Many-Body Systems Division at MPQ.Now the team…
Three months after the flight of the balloon-borne solar observatory Sunrise, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in…
Understanding the nature of these radiation belts and how they swell and shrink over time is an integral part of interpreting, and perhaps someday predicting,…
That is about the density of a galaxy that was recently discovered by an international team of astronomers led by a Michigan State University faculty member.“This galaxy is more massive than any ultra-compact drawfs of comparable size,” said Jay Strader, MSU assistant professor of physics and astronomy, “and is arguably the densest galaxy known in the local universe.”…
More than 83,000 volunteer citizen scientists. Over 16 million galaxy classifications. Information on more than 300,000 galaxies. This is what you get when you…
“The identification of molecules by sensing their unique absorption resonances is very important for environmental monitoring, industrial process control and…
A UC Santa Barbara research team has demonstrated the first and arguably most challenging step in the process. The paper, published in Nature Physics,…
In February of this year, a team of scientists reported the surprising discovery of a previously unknown third radiation ring — a narrow one that briefly…
Carbon nanotubes' outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal properties make them an alluring material to electronics manufacturers. However, until…
Memory based on electrically-induced “resistive switching” effects have generated a great deal of interest among engineers searching for faster and smaller…
