“We’ve devised a technique to discover supernova explosions at greater distances than previously known,” says team member Ray Carlberg of U of T’s Department…
UC Irvine cosmologists have found two supernovae farther away than any previously detected by using a new technique that could help find other dying stars at…
The approach, which makes novel use of polarized light to create “effective” magnetic fields, could bring the long-sought computers a step closer to reality. A…
In two studies published in the July 2 edition of Science Express, international teams have analyzed gamma-rays from two dozen pulsars, including 16 discovered…
But physicists have in fact had a huge impact on biology – no more so than in helping to discover the structure of DNA and in developing medical-imaging…
The black hole that explains how quantum particles behave collectively in individual forms of quantum material such as those found in quark-gluon plasmas and…
From the motion sensor to the computer chip – in many products of daily life components are used whose functioning is based on smallest structures of the size…
Why should such interfaces be researched? “They are important for the functioning of electronic components such as transistors,” says Michael Sing from the…
With an average link length of 20 to 30 kilometres, and the longest link being 83 kilometres, the researchers from organisations such as the AIT Austrian…
Using a worldwide combination of diverse telescopes, astronomers have discovered that a giant galaxy's bursts of very high energy gamma rays are coming from a…
A new class of pulsars detected by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is solving the mystery of previously unidentified gamma-ray sources and helping…
Miniature devices for trapping ions (electrically charged atoms) are common components in atomic clocks and quantum computing research. Now, a novel ion trap…
Their recently reported findings* may add new scientific challenges to the design and manufacture of future ultra-high density data storage devices.The team…
Even the most spectacular Fourth of July fireworks display pales in comparison to what takes place in nature. In a matter of seconds, a supernova releases more…
The finding in a distant galaxy approximately 290 million light years from Earth is reported today in the journal Nature.Until now, identified black holes have…
