Annual waste for certain crops can be up to 60% – which can mean up to £100,000 of lost revenue for an average farm every year, according to farmers who were…
“We can watch for years and see almost nothing happen. This is bad news for people trying to understand Titan's meteorological cycle, as not only do things…
The problem is how to find such an atom – among billions of others. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have developed a laser technique that,…
The methane mystery started soon after December 2003, when ESA’s Mars Express arrived in orbit around the red planet. As the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer…
New research shows that compared to middle-aged stars like the Sun, newly formed stars spin faster generating strong magnetic fields that result in emission of…
“The first stars were much more massive than most stars we see today, upwards of 100 times the mass of our sun,” said John Wise, a post-doctoral fellow at…
For the first time they could show how the gas is moving in different areas over the surface of a distant star. This was made possible by combining three 1.8…
But scientists from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have shown that there is another explanation of the flux.Several independent studies recently…
New images taken with two of Spitzer's infrared detector channels — the two that work at the new warmer temperature — demonstrate that the observatory…
The ECIT team has developed a high performance electronic device – known as a dual polarized Frequency Selective Surface filter – that is to be used in future…
The finding offers new insights into how these early galaxies may have evolved into the more familiar ones we see in the nearby universe.The team spent an…
This striking view is ablaze with a flurry of stars of all colours and brightnesses, some of which are seen against a backdrop of clouds of dust and gas. One…
The new work, described in the August 6 issue of Science Express,* overcomes significant hurdles in scaling up ion-trapping technology from small…
The fast-moving stars shed new light on how these distant galaxies, which are a fraction the size of our Milky Way, may have evolved into the full-grown…
“To date, astronomers have measured X-ray polarization from only a single object outside the solar system — the famous Crab Nebula, the luminous cloud that…
The paper 'Tripping Points: Barriers and Bargaining Chips on the Road to Copenhagen' lays bare the main tripping points – political barriers and bargaining…
