Today marks the 10th anniversary since First Light with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), the most advanced optical telescope in the world. Since then, the VLT…
The first one, Eta Carinae, has the shape of a 'little man' and surrounds a star doomed to explode within the next 100 000 years. The second image features a…
This previously unobserved phenomenon has just beeen described in an article in the scientific journal Nature Photonics.- We have discovered a method for…
In order to attain exact and reliable results, the emissivity of the measured surface has to be known. It can only be determined precisely in complex measuring…
Thermally stable materials play an important role in dimensional metrology and in precision manufacturing. The currently highest requirements on the thermal…
Magnetic nanoparticles (with a size of some few to several hundred nanometres) are a new, promising means of fighting cancer. The particles serve as a carrier…
The future of fundamental physics research lies in observing the early universe and developing models that explain the new data obtained. The availability of…
University of Alberta scientist Carlos Lange is still amazed that an instrument he dreamed up, a wind sensor called the Telltale, will soon be landing on Mars.
The future of fundamental physics research lies in observing the early universe and developing models that explain the new data obtained. The availability of…
An ordinary observation with NASA's Swift research satellite recently led to the first real-time sighting of a star in the process of exploding. Astronomers…
In what's beginning to look like a case of planetary measles, a third red spot has appeared alongside its cousins — the Great Red Spot and Red Spot Jr. — in…
In the 1990s, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and elsewhere succeeded in breaking through the computational…
Sometimes observations confirm a scientific theory perfectly, yet at other times telescopes bring completely new phenomena to light. That is what happened in…
These results were presented this week at the IAU symposium 253 in Massachusetts, USA. COROT has now been operating for 510 days, and the mission started…
His theoretical research into light-induced processes in the hydroxyl radical (OH), the hydrogen molecule (H2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) has directly contributed…
Their analysis represents the most detailed look to-date at the intergalactic medium within about four billion light-years of Earth. The astronomers say they…
