A time-series of high-resolution spectra in the optical and ultraviolet has twice been obtained just a few minutes after the detection of a gamma-ray bust…
“In previous work, people figured out that you can move individual particles with lasers,” said Robert Schroll, graduate student in physics at the University…
Until now NGC 5584 was just one galaxy among many others, located to the West of the Virgo Cluster. Known only as a number in galaxy surveys, its sheer beauty…
Magnetic reconnection – a phenomenon by which magnetic fields lines get interconnected and reconfigure themselves – is a universal process in space that plays…
Fabricating such small features normally requires expensive electron beam or extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment. However, using a technique called 3D…
The catch is that measuring their vibrations isn't easy. It is usually done by bouncing laser beams off them — which won't work when the nanodevices become…
The new results show the intimate connection between star death, which releases material into the interstellar medium (the collection of dust and gas between…
Since its launch in February 2006 AKARI, a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) mission with ESA participation, has been working flawlessly and has…
Dr Brian Cox, who can usually be found investigating how the universe was formed at the Centre for European Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, has been…
The new technique, which is still in the developmental stage, allows for magnetically maneuvering laparoscopic surgical tools inserted into the abdominal…
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, an international team of astronomers has shown how to use the chemical composition of stars in clusters to shed light on the…
Prime contractor and ESA teams are working overtime to finish the testing of the most complex spaceship ever developed in Europe. During the coming crucial…
The prestigious journal, “Physical Review Letters”, one of the most important in the field of physics, has published three articles that summarise the findings…
The updated gallery – open on 26 April and to be called Exploring Space – will celebrate our exploration of space so far and investigate the benefits it brings…
The Aurora Fellowship scheme is a new Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) fellowship dedicated to enhancing the UK’s long term capabilities…
Set up in March 2006 in Brussels, the Space Dialogue initiative encompasses space applications (satellite navigation, Earth observation and satellite…
