The inner asteroid belt is a virtual twin of the belt in our solar system, while the outer asteroid belt holds 20 times more material. Moreover, the presence…
Some of the first data collected by the CoRoT space telescope mission, launched in December 2006, provides valuable information about the physical vibrations…
The anomaly was discovered during the spacecraft's launch preparation tests on 7 September 2008 in Plesetsk, which subsequently led to the postponement of the…
In the quantum world, objects such as atoms are allowed to exist in multiple states simultane-ously — that is, they could literally be in two places at once…
The scientific community thinks that there is a higher probability that organic molecules precursors to life could form in those planets or satellites which…
Emanating from the work carried out by CCS on the management of the processes involved in the construction of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), one of CERN’s…
An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, working alongside researchers at the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC)…
Astronomers call this an HII (pronounced “H-two”) region, and this particularly stunning example stretches out across space for over 200 light-years. The name…
“Small robots that are able to work together could explore the planet. We now know there is water and dust so all they would need is some sort of glue to start…
The PSLV-C11 rocket, an upgraded version of the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO’s) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, lifted off at 02:52 Central…
The astronomers used the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope to look at a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years from Earth,…
We usually have an image of scientists who study the Universe doing so peering through a telescope. And, effectively, this is what astrophysicists do: gather…
Its potential, however, could still increase significantly due to an invention recently made by a team of interdisciplinary working physicists.Published as…
This Calar Alto image offers one of the best snapshots ever obtained of this stellar system. It was produced with the camera LAICA attached to the 3.5 m…
Scientists at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have, for the first time, succeeded in rendering the spatial distribution of individual atoms in a…
Theoretical proof of stable and measurable states extending over two quantum dots and creating offspring has now been provided for the first time. This…
