They describe their work in a paper to be published Feb. 6 in an advanced online issue of the journal Nature Photonics. “Our results impact a broad spectrum of…
The first stars in the universe were not as solitary as previously thought. In fact, they could have formed alongside numerous companions when the gas disks…
Icky as it may sound, Titan is really the rarest of gems: the only moon in our solar system with an atmosphere worthy of a planet. This atmosphere comes…
But now an international research team has managed to capture an image of an intact virus and a membrane structure from a photosynthetic bacterium with the aid…
The NASA team, including UF associate professor Eric Ford, postdoctoral associate Althea Moorhead and graduate student Robert Morehead, will announce its…
Elements heavier than iron come into being only in powerful stellar explosions, supernovae. During nuclear reactions all kinds of short-lived atomic nuclei are…
The spectrum of research in the field of physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Germany has been extended to include one of the most important…
These are some of the potential applications for graphene, one of the hottest new materials in the field of nanotechnology, raised by the research of James…
This picture was taken using the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. The data were selected from the…
This decision, taken by CERN management following the annual planning workshop held in Chamonix last week and a report delivered today by the laboratory’s…
The results show that these speedy electrons gain extra energy from changing magnetic fields far from the origin of the substorm that causes them. THEMIS,…
When these sub-atomic particles collide at the heart of the CMS detector, the resultant energies and densities are similar to those that were present in the…
There is ongoing debate in the orthodontic community over if and when to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment…
“A collision with an object of this size traveling at an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 mile per hour would be catastrophic,” according to NASA researcher and New…
The first large-scale, physics-based space weather prediction model is transitioning from research into operation.Scientists affiliated with the National…
The tiny, dim object, called UDFj-39546284, is a compact galaxy of blue stars that existed 480 million years after the Big Bang. More than 100 such…
