Meta-lens sees smaller than a wavelength of light
Jun 03, 2016 (SPX)
Curved lenses, like those in cameras or telescopes, are stacked in order to reduce distortions and resolve a clear image. That's why high-power microscopes are ...
Elliptical galaxies not formed by merging
Jun 03, 2016 (SPX)
It all starts from a problem with dust: galaxies with the highest rates of star formation are also the "dustiest", because the violent process of star formation...
Blowing bubbles in the Milky Way's magnetic field
Jun 01, 2016 (SPX)

Measuring the Milky Way: 1 massive problem, 1 new solution
Jun 01, 2016 (SPX)
It is a galactic challenge, to be sure, but Gwendolyn Eadie is getting closer to an accurate answer to a question that has defined her early career in astrophys...
Beating the limits of the light microscope, one photon at a time
May 31, 2016 (SPX)
The world's most advanced light microscopes allow us to see single molecules, proteins, viruses and other very small biological structures. But even the best mi...
Engineers discover a new gatekeeper for light
May 30, 2016 (SPX)
Imagine a device that is selectively transparent to various wavelengths of light at one moment, and opaque to them the next, following a minute adjustment. Such...
Astronomers Confirm Faintest Early-Universe Galaxy Ever Seen

A Young Mammoth Cluster of Galaxies Sighted in the Early Universe
May 26, 2016 (SPX)
Astronomers have uncovered evidence for a vast collection of young galaxies 12 billion light years away. The newly discovered "proto-cluster" of galaxies, obser...
Closing in on the elusive rotational-vibrational CH5+ spectra
May 25, 2016 (SPX)
Protonated methane, a.k.a. CH5+, is a highly unusual molecule that scientists and astronomers suspect may be found within the interstellar medium where stars an...
OU astrophysicists detect most luminous diffuse gamma-ray emission from Arp 220
May 25, 2016 (SPX)
A University of Oklahoma team has detected for the first time the most luminous gamma-ray emission from a galaxy--the merging galaxy Arp 220 is the nearest ultr...
Hunting for Dark Matter's Hidden Valley
May 25, 2016 (SPX)
