This week, an astronomy and space research class at the Alternative Secondary School of Economics in Budapest, Hungary, chose HiRISE's “student image of the…
The resonant cable might someday be used in quantum computers, which would rely on quantum behavior to carry out certain functions, such as code-breaking and…
The artificial cooling systems, which are being developed by the researchers, are based on the use of specially-constructed heat pipes. The authors suggest…
The ability to visit asteroids could also be invaluable for testing equipment for a mission to Mars by humans. Further, knowing how to tether an asteroid could…
“We are using photonic crystals in a new way,” said Brian Cunningham, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and corresponding author of a paper…
The spin of a particle can most easily be compared to the rotating movement of a spinning top. In the HERMES experiment at the HERA particle accelerator in…
Thanks to new observations from Dutch astronomer Mariska Kriek with the Gemini Telescope on Hawaii and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, it is now known…
A new Institute of Physics’ (IOP) report, Climate change prediction: A robust or flawed process?, published today reveals that while there is general consensus…
She is presently leading two international surveys of the Milky Way, and will be joining a CAR team that is leading a large number of other major surveys in…
For the first time, SOHO’s Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph Experiment (LASCO) has found a rare type of comet called a periodic comet (which flies by…

Finding such an unmasked form of what physicists term a singularity “would shock the foundation of general relativity,” said Arlie Petters, a Duke professor of…
The comet-like tail was observed in X-ray light with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and in optical light with the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR)…
Although the Foton was only launched a week ago, the scientists are already very excited about the data they have received from their experiment, known as…
The importance of the work lies in establishing how a conventional tool of material science – neutron beams produced at particle accelerators and nuclear…
The bursts are from “magnetars,” some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe.Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which are superdense stars that pack…
