The conversion of solar energy into electrical power plays a major role in the successful transition to renewable energy sources. Although conventional silicon…
Data from NASA's Dawn mission show that a common form of weathering, which occurs on many airless bodies in the inner solar system like the Moon, does not age…
While similar processes are witnessed in younger solar systems throughout the Milky Way, the formative stages of our own solar system were believed to have…
Both high-valued diamond and low-prized graphite consist of exactly the same carbon atoms. The subtle but nevertheless important difference between the two…
They suggest that the size and location of an asteroid belt, shaped by the evolution of the sun's protoplanetary disk and by the gravitational influence of a…
“The optical and ultraviolet light from stars continues to travel throughout the universe even after the stars cease to shine, and this creates a fossil…
“The objects are both unusually bright and unusually slow to fade. These are properties that are consistent with what is known as pair-instability supernova, a…
This result is a first step towards entangling and twisting even macroscopic, spatially separated objects in two different directions. The researchers at the…
In April 2008, atmospheric scientists set up camp in Zhangye, a semi-arid region between China's Taklimakan and Gobi deserts. They sorted and prepared cargo…
Now, an international team of astronomers has detected several dark galaxies by observing the fluorescent glow of their hydrogen gas, illuminated by the…
Based on electron beam-induced deposition (EBID), the work is believed to be the first to connect multiple shells of a multi-walled carbon nanotube to metal…
As of Oct. 28, 2012, every observation from the extrasolar planet survey made by Kepler since its launch in 2009 through June 27, 2012, is available to…
The new data represent the first large-scale effort at “two plus one” mapping of galaxies: for every pixel within each two-dimensional image, a detailed…
This new picture, along with a new image of the central region from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, provide the best view of this little-known cluster…
Using the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Telescope and techniques more commonly encountered in Hollywood blockbuster computer graphics than in…
In research that could extend the range of future rescue and exploration robots, scientists have found that hopping robots could dramatically reduce the amount…
