In a groundbreaking paper published as a cover story in this week’s Nature magazine, Northeastern University physicist Professor Albert-László Barabási and his…
A Johns Hopkins astronomer is a member of a team briefing fellow scientists about plans to use new technology to take advantage of recent, promising ideas on…
This majestic photographic display, which is planned for 7-29 June 2008, takes viewers on a colourful visual journey through the wonders of the Universe and…
As these results were obtained under ambient conditions they make diamond an ideal candidate for building a quantum computer working at room temperature. This…
Magnetic sensors are made of thin layers with different magnetic properties. With the help of ion technology, scientists from Dresden were now able to shrink…
“We could make huge telescopes on the moon relatively easily, and avoid the large expense of transporting a large mirror from Earth,” says Peter Chen of NASA…
A team of stellar astronomers is engaged in an interstellar CSI (crime scene investigation). They have two suspects, traces of assault and battery, but no…
An international team of researchers led by Médéric Boquien of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has shown that debris formed when two galaxies collide…
The exciting progress was made in the important field of quantum optics and discussed recently at a high level conference organised by the European Science…
Saturn’s F ring has long been of interest to scientists as its features change on timescales from hours to years and it is probably the only location in the…
University of Michigan simulations correctly predicted that the pulsed jets of the Mars Phoenix lander would strip the soil to the subsurface ice or rock as…
Research presented to the American Astronomical Society meeting in St. Louis today offers astronomers a new, simple method to learn about black holes up to…
When the lander collected and released its first scoopful of soil on Sunday, some of the sample stuck to the scoop. The team told Phoenix this morning to lift…
The practice scoop was emptied onto a designated dump area on the ground after the Robotic Arm Camera photographed the soil inside the scoop. The Phoenix team…
“If you put a large amount of laser power through these cells over a very short time period, you get a huge response,” says Nicholas Smith, who led the…
“We could very well be seeing rock, or we could be seeing exposed ice in the retrorocket blast zone,” said Ray Arvidson of Washington University, St. Louis,…
