The structure of gold nanoparticles has been largely unknown for over a decade. The current study helps to understand the stability, composition as well as…
New trenches opened recently include the “Burn Alive 3” trench in the “Wonderland” digging area in the eastern portion of the arm's reachable workspace….
NGC 1275 is one of the closest giant elliptical galaxies and lies at the centre of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies. It is an active galaxy, hosting a…
The research report will be presented during an international conference on X-ray Lasers at Queen’s this week. It has attracted leading scientists from the…
John R. Clem, a physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, has developed a theory that will help build future superconducting…
An experiment carried out at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has realized spin torque switching of a nanomagnet as fast as the fundamental…
Materials such as milk, paper, white paint and tissue are opaque because they scatter light, not because they absorb it. But no matter how great the…
Physicists from Rice and Rutgers universities have published a new theory that explains some of the complex electronic and magnetic properties of iron…
The particle — shown at higher magnification than anything ever seen from another world — is a rounded particle about one micrometer, or one millionth of a…
GOCE is scheduled for lift-off at 16:21 CEST, 10 September 2008, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome; the spacecraft arrived in Russia on 29 July on board an…
In a partial lunar eclipse, the Earth, Sun and Moon are almost exactly in line and the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The Moon is full…
Dr. Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy, a Baylor graduate student, theorize that by manipulating the extra spatial…
The Perseid meteor shower, which is caused by meteoroids crashing and burning high in Earth's upper atmosphere, will produce the greatest activity after 2 a.m….
Phoenix's robotic arm delivered soil Thursday from the Rosy Red trench through a narrow opening to a screen above the No. 5 oven on the lander's TEGA. A few…
Meteors are the result of small particles entering the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed and in the case of the Perseid shower these come from the tail of Comet…
The region is a firestorm of raw stellar creation, perhaps triggered by a nearby supernova explosion. It lies about 170 000 light-years away near the Tarantula…
