  Kashiwa, Japan (SPX) Jun 21, 2019 A new study by a pair of researchers in the US and Japan has found that, when gravity is combined with quantum mechanics, symmetry is not possible. "Many physicists believe that there must a beautiful set of laws in Nature and that one way to quantify the beauty is by symmetry. Some of the symmetries may be hidden in our world, but they should manifest themselves if we look at Nature at a more fundamental level. We showed that this expectation is wrong once we take into account the gravity," said ... read more |

The rings of Uranus are invisible to all but the largest telescopes - they weren't even discovered until 1977 - but they're surprisingly bright in new heat images of the planet taken by two large telescopes in the high deserts of Chile.
The thermal glow gives astronomers another window onto the rings, which have been seen only because they reflect a little light in the visible, or optical, ... more |

 Gottingen, Germany (SPX) Jun 19, 2019 
An international research team led by the University of Gottingen has discovered two new Earth-like planets near one of our closest neighboring stars. "Teegarden's star" is only about 12.5 light years away from Earth and is one of the smallest known stars.
It is only about 2,700C warm and about ten times lighter than the Sun. Although it is so close to us, the star wasn't discovered until ... more |

 Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jun 17, 2019  A precise understanding of glacier evolution requires knowledge of a glacier's exact mass. This is important in South America, in the tropical regions between Bolivia and Venezuela, where meltwater from glaciers provides drinking water during the dry season.
However, basic data about mass changes in glaciers are not easy to obtain. Mass losses are also contributing to rising sea levels on ... more |
