New Studies Reveal Well-Kept Secrets of Ceres

Ceres reveals some of its well-kept secrets in two new studies in the journal Nature, thanks to data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. They include highly anticipated insights about mysterious bright features found all over the dwarf planet's surface.

Frozen Water Sublimating from Center of Occator Crater on Planet Ceres

When the Sun shines into the Occator crater on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres, a kind of thin haze appears above its brightest spot. This can be seen in images taken by the camera system aboard NASA’s Dawn space probe, which researchers under the lead of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research will publish on 9 December, 2015 in Nature magazine.

ESO's Very Large Telescope Reveals Spectacular Aftermath of 360 Million Year Old Cosmic Collision

The spectacular aftermath of a 360 million year old cosmic collision is revealed in great detail in new images from ESO's Very Large Telescope at the Paranal Observatory. Among the debris is a rare and mysterious young dwarf galaxy. This galaxy is providing astronomers with an excellent opportunity to learn more about similar galaxies that are expected to be common in the early Universe, but are normally too faint and distant to be observed by current telescopes.

High Precision DRS4 Electronic Chip Could Unlock Physics of our Entire Universe

What does a physicist do when his experiment needs an extremely precise time measurement? So precise that existing electronics cannot help him? Stefan Ritt simply decided to develop his own solution. The result is called DRS4, a high-precision electronic chip that could unlock the physics of our entire universe. As an additional benefit, the chip is already helping doctors to localise brain tumours with great accuracy.

RHIC Physicists Exploring Ways to Cool Accelerated Ion Beams and Keep Particles Tightly Packed

Accelerated ion beams heat up. As the particles that make up the beam move around and scatter off of one another, some speed up while others slow down, leading to a wide spread in their velocities.

Titan Supercomputer Helps Explore the Physics of Type Ia Supernovas

Exploding stars may seem like an unlikely yardstick for measuring the vast distances of space, but astronomers have been mapping the universe for decades using these stellar eruptions, called supernovas, with surprising accuracy.
