Researchers at Ohio University have created an improved magnetic semiconductor that solves a problem spintronics scientists have been investigating for years.
Supercomputer simulations by two Sandia researchers have significantly altered the theoretical diagram universally used by scientists to understand the…
It is already well-established that when cosmic rays, which are high-speed atomic particles originating in exploded stars far away in the Milky Way, penetrate…
Astronomers have found possible proofs of stellar vampirism in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, they found that some hot,…
Their detailed maps show the ‘local’ cosmos out to a distance of 600 million light years, identifying all the major superclusters of galaxies and voids. They…
This new laser-based technique images the fabric of the deeper layers of the skin, combining methods for imaging collagen and elastin, whose degeneration…
GIOVE-A, developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (UK), was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 28 December 2005 and placed into a medium Earth orbit with…
On 8 May 2004, one of the two Double Star satellites (TC-1) and all four Cluster spacecraft found themselves in the firing line. For about 6 hours, the Cluster…
Every year, the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) is organised by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and its associates, the…
Apart from that, the AFM is also capable of playing with the light, to optimize the performance of the resonator. If the optical crystal doesn’t work at the…
Professor Bob Imhof, chairman of Biox Systems, will unveil the firm’s latest AquaFlux product – the AF200 – at the International Society for Biophysics and…
The decision was made by the International SKA Steering Committee, following advice from an external committee of 7 scientists from 5 countries that examined…
With the VISIR instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have mapped the disc around a star more massive than the Sun. The very extended and flared…
The creation of a polariton Bose-Einstein condensate in the solid state provides scientists with a unique opportunity to better understand and possibly exploit…
This mode was developed through tight teamwork between ESOC mission controllers, principal investigators, industry and mission management. In the past weeks,…
