Researchers discover anti-laser masquerading as perfect absorber
Feb 18, 2019 (SPX)
The research appeared online on January 28 in the journal Advanced Optical Materials. A laser is a device that transforms energy into coherent light, meaning th...
Merging neutron stars
Feb 15, 2019 (SPX)
Quarks, the smallest building-blocks of matter, never appear alone in nature. They are always tightly bound inside the protons and neutrons. However, neutron st...
Shaping light lets 2D microscopes capture 4D data
Feb 15, 2019 (SPX)
Two years ago, the Rice lab of chemist Christy Landes introduced super temporal resolution microscopy, a technique that allowed researchers to image fluorescent...
A stellar flare 10 billion times more powerful than those on the Sun
Feb 12, 2019 (SPX)
"A discovery of this magnitude could have only happened in Hawaii," said Dr. Steve Mairs, astronomer and lead investigator of the team that discovered the stell...
Do you like Earth's solid surface and life-inclined climate
Feb 12, 2019 (SPX)
Without the star's radioactive elements injected into the early solar system, our home planet could be a hostile ocean world covered in global ice sheets. "The ...
SOFIA finds dust survives obliteration in Supernova 1987A
Feb 11, 2019 (SPX)
Supernova explosions are among the most powerful events in the universe, with a peak brightness equivalent to the light from billions of individual stars. The e...
Webb telescope sound after completing critical milestones
Feb 11, 2019 (SPX)
In recent acoustic and sine vibration tests, technicians and engineers exposed Webb's spacecraft element to brutal dynamic mechanical environmental conditions t...
Gaia clocks new speeds for Milky Way-Andromeda collision
Feb 08, 2019 (ESA)
Our Milky Way belongs to a large gathering of galaxies known as the Local Group and, along with the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies - also referred to as M31 ...
Zwicky Transient Facility nabs several supernovae a night
Feb 08, 2019 (SPX)
"It's a cornucopia of results," says Shri Kulkarni, the principal investigator of ZTF and the George Ellery Hale Professor of Astronomy and Planetary Science at...
Hubble reveals dynamic atmospheres of Uranus, Neptune
Feb 08, 2019 (SPX)
Like Earth, Uranus and Neptune have seasons, which likely drive some of the features in their atmospheres. But their seasons are much longer than on Earth, span...
Liberal sprinkling of salt discovered around a young star
Feb 08, 2019 (SPX)
"It's amazing we're seeing these molecules at all," said Adam Ginsburg, a Jansky Fellow of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Socorro, New Mexic...
All the data in the sky, alerted via UW eyes
Feb 08, 2019 (SPX)
Less than a year into its mission, a sky-survey camera in Southern California shows just how full the sky is. The Zwicky Transient Facility, based at the Paloma...
Electron-gun simulations explain the mechanisms of high-energy cosmic rays
Feb 07, 2019 (SPX)
When cosmic rays collide with planets or debris, they lose energy. Scientists use the collision of electrons with a moving surface to simulate this process. A n...
Bubbles of brand new stars
Feb 07, 2019 (SPX)
The LMC is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, visible mainly from the Southern Hemisphere. At only around 160 000 light-years away from the Earth, it is pract...
The vibrating universe: Making astronomy accessible to the deaf
Feb 06, 2019 (SPX)
The workshop utilized a sound stage that allowed the CSDR students to "feel" vibrations from rockets, stars, galaxies, supernovae, and even remnants of the Big ...
Novel experiment validates widely speculated mechanism behind the formation of stars
Feb 06, 2019 (SPX)
The theory holds that MRI allows accretion disks, clouds of dust, gas, and plasma that swirl around growing stars and planets as well as black holes, to collaps...
Kazan University puts forth ideas on the nature of dark matter
Feb 06, 2019 (SPX)
Research authors, Professor Alexander Balakin and PhD candidate Dmitry Groshev, stand for the second viewpoint but note that it's probable that dark matter comp...
The Milky Way in a twist
Feb 05, 2019 (SPX)
From a great distance, our galaxy would look like a thin disk of stars that orbit once every few hundred million years around its central region, where hundreds...
Retreating snow line reveals organic molecules around young star
Feb 05, 2019 (SPX)
The research team led by Jeong-Eun Lee (Kyung Hee University, Korea) used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to detect complex organic mole...
Hubble fortuitously discovers a new galaxy in the cosmic neighbourhood
Feb 01, 2019 (SPX)
An international team of astronomers recently used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study white dwarf stars within the globular cluster NGC 6752. The aim ...
