'Quasiparticles' reveal incredibly minute distortions in light waves
Dec 11, 2015 (SPX)
Optics researchers have discovered a new way to measure incredibly small distortions in light waves by indirectly studying the behavior of curious 'quasiparticl...
Minutest absolute magnetic field measurement
Dec 08, 2015 (SPX)
Every measurement is potentially prone to systematic error. The more sensitive the measurement method, the more important it is to make sure it is also accurate...
A new technique to gauge the distant Universe
Dec 07, 2015 (ESA)
Scientists have developed a technique to use quasars - powerful sources driven by supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies - to study the Universe's h...
Magnified image of faintest galaxy from early universe
Dec 04, 2015 (JPL)
Astronomers harnessing the combined power of NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes have found the faintest object ever seen in the early universe. It exist...
Earth-sized telescope finds clue to black hole growth
Dec 04, 2015 (SPX)
A new discovery, published in the journal Science, has greatly deepened our understanding black holes, which are believed to be the gravitational engines at the...
What is the universe made of
Dec 03, 2015 (SPX)
Matter known as ordinary, which makes up everything we know, corresponds to only 5% of the Universe. Approximately half of this percentage still eluded detectio...
