![]() Moscow (RIA Novosti) Mar 26, 2010 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will for the first time collide particles at an energy of 7 tera-electron volts (TeV), or 3.5 TeV per beam, on March 30, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) said on its website. The world's most powerful atom smasher accelerated its proton beams to 3.5 TeV per beam on March 19, but no collisions were practiced then. "Between now and March 30, the LHC team will be working with 3.5 TeV beams to commission the beam control systems and the system ... read more |

Life Without Water And The Habitable Zone![]() New discoveries have a way of messing with old definitions. Take, for example, the concept of a habitable world. The standard definition of a "habitable world" is a world with liquid water at its surface; the "habitable zone" around a star is defined as that Goldilocks region - not too hot, not too cold - where a watery planet or moon can exist. And then there's Titan. Saturn's giant ... more The Mystery Of Moonwater ![]() Moonwater. Look it up. You won't find it. It's not in the dictionary. That's because we thought, until recently, that the Moon was just about the driest place in the solar system. Then reports of moonwater started "pouring" in - starting with estimates of scant amounts on the lunar surface, then gallons in a single crater, and now 600 million metric tons distributed among 40 craters near the lun ... more A Galactic Desktop Of Cold Dust ![]() Planck's ability to measure the temperature of the coldest dust particles will provide a better understanding of the physical processes at play in the spaces between stars, and in regions of star formation. This image covers a portion of the sky about 50 degrees in total extent. It is a three-color combination constructed from Planck's two highest frequency channels (557 and 857 Gigahertz, ... more |

![]() Bonn, Germany (SPX) Mar 18, 2010 CoRoT-9b, a Jupiter-sized exoplanet thats orbits its star every 95 days, is the latest discovery of the CoRoT satellite, a project in which the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is a participant. "This exoplanet stands out by virtue of its 'normality'. It is a very close approximation of the planets in our own solar system," says Professor Heike Rauer from the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin, who manages the German contribution to CoRoT. CoRoT-9b lies far away from our Solar System ... read more |
