After undocking from the Space Station on Saturday, Discovery was cleared for landing after a last inspection revealed no signs of damage to the spacecraft. A…
AMIE obtained this image on 1 January 2006, from a distance of 1483 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 134 metres per pixel. The imaged…
The strategy adopted by the Council today provides for European engagement and leadership in the field. It builds on European strengths at Universities, in…
The experimental clock, which measures the oscillations of a mercury ion (an electrically charged atom) held in an ultra-cold electromagnetic trap, produces…
The work is another step toward “laboratory on a chip” applications in which vibrating strings can be used to detect and identify biological molecules. The…
Spectral data from an ARPES study at Beamline 7.0.1 of Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source revealed the two discrete peaks (blue for the holon and red for the…
AMIE obtained this sequence on 18 March 2006, from a distance of 1200 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution ranging from 110 to 114 metres per…
If taking the first ever clear images of the double-eye vortex at Venus’ south pole – imaged by Venus Express during its very first orbit – was already a first…
This “cold universe” includes the cold clouds where young stars are presently forming, and in which the temperature is only -260°C. We believe our solar system…
This huge insight allows scientists to study matter in its earliest form and comes from an experiment carried out over the past five years at the Relativistic…
The fourth decade of this century could see Europe participating in a manned mission to Mars in what would be one of humanity's grandest space expeditions…
Scientists are starting to find answers to some profound questions such as these, thanks to a breakthrough in the calculations needed to understand the strong…
Water – colorless, odorless and tasteless – may seem simple, but its interaction with minerals can be difficult to study. Ions (ranging from nutrients such as…
Physicists will construct an ultra-high intensity THz beamline and attempt to destroy skin cancer cells specially grown in a new tissue culture facility. The…
The object is in the heart of supernova remnant RCW103, the gaseous remains of a star that exploded about 2 000 years ago. Taken at face value, RCW103 and its…
AMIE obtained the top frame on 1 January 2006, from a distance of 1087 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 98 metres per pixel. The…
