Since neutron induced signals are very similar to dark matter induced signals, this new discovery, published today, Thursday, 16 October, in the New Journal of…
The properties of dwarf galaxies have presented many challenges. «Ten years ago, my team at the University of Washington found that our cosmological model…
Like the flame from a candle, light coming from the surroundings of a black hole is not constant — it flares, sputters and sparkles. “The rapid flickering of…
Planets too close to their stars are roasted. Planets too far from their stars are frozen. In between, research models show, there's a habitable zone where…
They are something of a mystery, yet it is possible to manipulate the development of these bubbles, according to PhD candidate Shangjiong Yang at the…
The findings are published this week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). Hydrogen is the the one of most abundant and lightest element in the universe, and it has been speculated already fifty years back that metallization in pure hydrogen could lead to room- temperature superconductivity, which has been an open question till now. But enormous pressure would be required to compress hydrogen sufficiently in order to achieve this metallic state. …
Scientists have long been interested in the ability of gecko lizards to scurry up walls and cling to ceilings by their toes. The creatures owe this amazing…
The Fundamental Neutron Physics Beam Line (FNPB) has opened its shutter to receive neutrons for the first time. Among the nuclear physics studies planned for…

An international team of astronomers led by E. Tatulli (Grenoble, France) and S. Kraus (Bonn, Germany) [1] used the unique capability of the VLT near-infrared…
Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer to conduct the first high resolution survey that combines spectroscopy and interferometry on…
Optics has come a long way since the 1960s. Today, it is more than just light research. The field of photonics now deals with the science and technology of…
Contrary to textbook wisdom, the unusually long illuminating wavelength of 118 µm did not at all preclude researchers from the Max-Planck-Institute of…
