This new guide for astronomers, known as the APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) shows the Milky Way in submillimetre-wavelength light…
The research, to be presented at an international conference today (Wednesday, July 1), also forms a core part of a new ICC movie charting the evolution of the…
In the past, even modern technologies have failed to produce high-resolution fluorescence images from this depth because of the strong scattering of light. In…
A team led by Yale University researchers has successfully implemented simple algorithms using a quantum processor based on microwave solid-state…
Researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester have developed a new synthesis method, which has led them to the…
An international team of researchers led by a UC Riverside astronomer has completed the largest ever survey designed to find very distant clusters of galaxies.
A binary star system consists of two stars bound together by gravity that orbit a common center of gravity. Most stars form as binaries, and if both stars are…
Finding a way to observe and record the behavior of matter at the molecular level has long been one of the holy grails among physicists. That ability could…
“From Earth to the Universe,” an exhibit of 56 astronomical images, is on display through the end of the year at O’Hare. Scientists at the University of…
This kind of laboratory astrophysics helps to understand in more detail the physical and chemical properties of cold interstellar matter.The interaction of…
The researchers produced cadmium sulphide particles in microscopically small membrane bubbles. Depending on which of the construction manuals they follow, the…
They also used the two-qubit superconducting chip to successfully run elementary algorithms, such as a simple search, demonstrating quantum information…
An enormous plume of water spurts in giant jets from the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. In a report published in the international science journal…
Physicists seeking to answer this question have, for the first time, measured the nanoscale forces that cause droplet formation in a falling stream of tiny…
These precarious bits, formed in this case by arrays of semiconductor quantum dots containing a single extra electron, are easily perturbed by magnetic field…
Today, a choice has to be made whether to stay by the lake or watch the match on a big public screen or the TV set at home. In future, barbecue enthusiasts and…
