Massive Galaxy Cluster Verifies Predictions of Cosmological Theory
Jan 22, 2014 (SPX)
By observing a high-speed component of a massive galaxy cluster, Caltech/JPL scientists and collaborators have detected for the first time in an individual obje...
Hugging hemes help electrons hop
Jan 21, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers simulating how certain bacteria run electrical current through tiny molecular wires have discovered a secret Nature uses for electron travel. The re...
ISS MAXI-mizing our understanding of the universe
Jan 20, 2014 (SPX)
Look up at the night sky ... do you see it? The stars of the cosmos bursting in magnificent explosions of death and rebirth! No? Well, then maybe you are not lo...
Weighing particles at the attogram scale
Jan 17, 2014 (SPX)
MIT engineers have devised a way to measure the mass of particles with a resolution better than an attogram - one millionth of a trillionth of a gram. Weighing ...
Viewing macro behaviors of ultra-cold quantum gases through the micro-world
Jan 17, 2014 (SPX)
Understanding collective behavior of ultra-cold quantum gases is of great interest since it is intimately related to many encountered systems in nature such as ...
Dead Star and Distant Black Holes Dazzle in X-Rays
Jan 12, 2014 (JPL)
Two new views from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, showcase the telescope's talent for spying objects near and far. One image shows the...
Death By Black Hole In Small Galaxy?
Jan 12, 2014 (SPX)
A bright, long duration flare may be the first recorded event of a black hole destroying a star in a dwarf galaxy. The evidence comes from two independent studi...
Newly discovered three-star system to challenge Einstein's theory of General Relativity
Jan 07, 2014 (SPX)
A newly discovered system of two white dwarf stars and a superdense pulsar-all packed within a space smaller than the Earth's orbit around the sun-is enabling a...
Another step towards understanding the quantum behaviour of cold atoms
Jan 06, 2014 (SPX)
The UPV/EHU physicist Eneko Malatsetxebarria has explored, on a theoretical level, some quantum effects that take place in atoms at a very low temperature. Firs...
SciTechTalk: Particle physicists ready to go beyond the 'God particle'
Jan 05, 2014 (UPI)
Having been successful in their search for the Higgs boson -- the so-called "God particle" that appeared to put a big red ribbon of completion on the Standard M...
Birth of black hole kills the radio star
Dec 27, 2013 (SPX)
Astronomers led by a Curtin University researcher have discovered a new population of exploding stars that "switch off" their radio transmissions before collaps...
Electron 'antenna' tunes in to physics beyond Higgs
Dec 23, 2013 (SPX)
Though it was hailed as a triumph for the "Standard Model" of physics - the reigning model of fundamental forces and particles - physicists were quick to emphas...
Electron's shapeliness throws a curve at supersymmetry
Dec 23, 2013 (SPX)
A small band of particle-seeking scientists at Yale and Harvard has established a new benchmark for the electron's almost perfect roundness, raising doubts abou...
Ultrafast heating of water - This pot boils faster than you can watch it
Dec 22, 2013 (SPX)
Scientists from the Hamburg Center for Free-Electron Laser Science have devised a novel way to boil water in less than a trillionth of a second. The theoretical...
Swirls in remnants of Big Bang may hold clues to universe's infancy
Dec 17, 2013 (SPX)
South Pole Telescope scientists have detected for the first time a subtle distortion in the oldest light in the universe, which may help reveal secrets about th...
Recipe for a Universe
Dec 16, 2013 (SPX)
When soup is heated, it starts to boil. When time and space are heated, an expanding universe can emerge, without requiring anything like a "Big Bang". This pha...
Collapse of the universe is closer than ever before
Dec 13, 2013 (SPX)
Maybe it happens tomorrow. Maybe in a billion years. Physicists have long predicted that the universe may one day collapse, and that everything in it will be co...
Early Universe less dusty than thought
Dec 10, 2013 (SPX)
Dust may be more rare than expected in galaxies of the early Universe, according to an international research team, led by Swinburne University of Technology as...
Quantum effects help cells capture light, but the details are obscure
Dec 09, 2013 (SPX)
Sophisticated recent experiments with ultrashort laser pulses support the idea that intuition-defying quantum interactions between molecules help plants, algae,...
A Whirling Dervish puts physicists in a spin
Dec 08, 2013 (SPX)
A force that intricately links the rotation of the Earth with the direction of weather patterns in the atmosphere has been shown to play a crucial role in the c...
