Weighing twice as much as the Sun, it is the most massive neutron star measured to date. Together with a short orbital period of only 2.5 hours, the system…
The mission, called EVEX, for the Equatorial Vortex Experiment, will launch two rockets for a twelve-minute journey through the equatorial ionosphere above the…
“Let's say you have a large population of cells,” said Corey Neu, an assistant professor in Purdue University's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. “Just…
Experimental NASA research models show that the first CME began at 9:30 p.m. EDT on April 24. The second CME began at 5:24 a.m. EDT on April 25. Both left the…
A dramatic leap forward in the ability of scientists to study the structural states of macromolecules such as proteins and nanoparticles in solution has been…
A team including Carnegie's Michele Fumagalli used data from the Hubble Space Telescope to set a lower limit for the blazar's redshift (z ¡Ý 0.6035). An…
“Galaxies burn gas like a car engine burns fuel. Most galaxies have fairly inefficient engines, meaning they form stars from their stellar fuel tanks far below…
UCLA space scientists have now devised a way to monitor these types of collisions in interplanetary space by using a new method to determine the mass of…
The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers their clearest view yet of Comet ISON, a newly-discovered sun grazer comet that may light up the sky…
A dense sheet of electrons accelerated to close to the speed of light can act as a tuneable mirror that can generate bursts of laser-like radiation in the…
A Harvard-led team of researchers has created a new type of nanoscale device that converts an optical signal into waves that travel along a metal surface….
Researchers from ETH Zurich, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the Politecnico di Milano have jointly developed a manufacturing technique to render the…
Using observations gathered by NASA’s Kepler Mission, the team, led by William Borucki of the NASA Ames Research Center, found five planets orbiting a Sun-like…
Smaller begets bigger.Such is often the case for galaxies, at least: the first galaxies were small, then eventually merged together to form the behemoths we…
This is the result of their theoretical study on an electron that tunnels out of an atom in an intense laser field while being accelerated up near to the speed…
The astronomers discussed their findings Tuesday at the 2013 Huntsville Gamma-ray Burst Symposium in Nashville, Tenn., a meeting sponsored in part by the…
