According to a new study, the black hole's gravitational pull on the white dwarf would cause tidal forces sufficient to disrupt the stellar remnant and…
Researchers from the Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory, together with colleagues at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory, have…
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer, astronomers have probed the inner parts of the disc of material surrounding a young stellar object, witnessing…
Now by analyzing its velocity, light intensity, and for the first time its tell-tale elemental composition, Carnegie astronomers Alceste Bonanos and Mercedes…
String theory – a theory whose fundamental building blocks are tiny one-dimensional filaments called strings – is the leading contender for a “theory of…
Previously, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) were the only available technology in the short wavelength UV portion of the spectrum capable of single photon…
“We were getting ready for a routine engineering run when all of a sudden the nova went off. It was very bright and easy to observe, so we took this…
How can they do this? What is the key of their amazing cohesion? This is one of the questions the STARFLAG project – Starlings in Flight – aims to answer. The…
The maiden voyage of the first European International Space Station (ISS) resupply spaceship is targeted for no earlier than 22 February. Since early January,…
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the University of California in Berkeley have begun a three-year project to address technology barriers in the…
When the Stardust mission returned to Earth with samples from the comet Wild 2 in 2006, scientists knew the material would provide new clues about the…
Solving a fundamental and long-standing quandary, chemical engineers at Princeton developed a method for shooting stable jets of electrically charged liquids…
The asteroid, estimated at between 150 and 600 meters in diameter – about 500 feet to 1,900 feet, or the size of a football field, at 360 feet, to the size of…
It will enable scientists to study atoms within materials in a way that has never before been possible and will pave the way for pioneering research relating…
Scientists at JILA have found one possible way to solve the blinking problem and have induced quantum dots to emit photons (the smallest particles of light)…
However important these liquid/solid boundaries may be, conventional methods cannot measure basic mechanical properties of these interfaces in their natural…
