If you are like most people, you probably enjoy the twinkling of stars that blanket the sky on a clear summer night. If you are an astronomer, chances are you…
For years, scientists have puzzled over inexplicable variations in the timing of those radio pulsations. Now, the new-found aurora behaviour may offer a vital…
“Imagine you suddenly had the ability to see in color, or in 3-D,” said the CNMS's Sergei Kalinin. “That is how close we have been able to look at these very…
Through a process called attosecond absorption spectroscopy, researchers were able to time the oscillations between simultaneously produced quantum states of…
Back in the 17th century the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens made the observation that the oscillation of two pendulums synchronize once they get under…
NASA and the European Space Agency, or ESA, have embarked on a joint program to explore Mars in the coming decades and have selected five science instruments –…
Microwaves are an essential part of modern communication technology. Mobile phones and laptops, for example, are equipped with integrated microwave circuits…
“This eruption is directed right at us, and is expected to get here early in the day on August 4th,” said astronomer Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian…
In 2009, physicists from Japan’s KEK high-energy proton accelerator announced the sighting of a rare event: an unusually bulky beryllium nucleus that, in…
“Even in its simplest implementation, the presence of an EMR system presents considerable challenges to the radiologist,” said Michael Zalis, MD, lead author…
One Chicago skyline is dazzling enough. Now imagine 15,000 of them.A Northwestern University research team has done just that — drawing 15,000 identical…
Dr. Gates will describe GAC's Gossamer Orbit Lowering Device (GOLD) for safe and efficient removal from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) of dangerous space objects. The…
Researchers around the world are working on the development of quantum computers that will be vastly superior to present-day computers. Here, the strong…
Astronomers have directly imaged a very young brown dwarf (or failed star) in a tight orbit around a young nearby Sun-like star. An international team led by…
In the current issue of the journal Science, a multi-institutional team of researchers headed by Michael Crommie, a faculty senior scientist in the Materials…
With a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms, scientists at the Institute for Experimental Physics of the University of Innsbruck have created one…
