![]() Canberra, Australia (SPX) May 04, 2010 Using a CSIRO radio telescope, an international team of researchers has caught an enormous cloud of cosmic gas and dust in the process of collapsing in on itself - a discovery which could help solve one of astronomy's enduring conundrums: 'How do massive stars form?' Dr Peter Barnes from the University of Florida says astronomers have a good grasp of how stars such as our Sun form from clouds of gas and dust, but for heavier stars - ten times the mass of the Sun or more - they are still largely in ... read more |

Planck Highlights The Complexity Of Star Formation![]() New images from ESA's Planck space observatory reveal the forces driving star formation and give astronomers a way to understand the complex physics that shape the dust and gas in our Galaxy. Star formation takes place hidden behind veils of dust but that doesn't mean we can't see through them. Where optical telescopes see only black space, Planck's microwave eyes reveal myriad glowing str ... more Where Comets Emit Dust ![]() Studying comets can be quite dangerous - especially from close up. Because the tiny particles of dust emitted into space from the so-called active regions on a comet's surface can damage space probes. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany have now developed a computer model that can locate these regions using only the information available from Earth ... more Brain-Like Computing On An Organic Molecular Layer ![]() Information processing circuits in digital computers are static. In our brains, information processing circuits-neurons-evolve continuously to solve complex problems. Now, an international research team from Japan and Michigan Technological University has created a similar process of circuit evolution in an organic molecular layer that can solve complex problems. This is the first time a brain-l ... more |

![]() Moffett Field CA (SPX) Apr 27, 2010 In the latest outing for the Star Trek movie franchise, the young James T Kirk races the newly commissioned USS Enterprise at maximum warp speed back to the solar system. Kirk must rescue the Earth from the ravages of the driller killer machine that the maverick Romulan Nero has already used to destroy the planet Vulcan. Ensign Chekhov suggests that they hide the Enterprise within the Saturnian system. In a memorable scene, Enterprise decelerates instantaneously from Warp 4 to impulse power and th ... read more |
