NASA Selects Science Mission to Untangle Complexities of the Interstellar Medium

Emissions from the interstellar medium, which is the cosmic material present between stars, can be measured by a science mission selected by NASA.

Wakefield Accelerator Produces Two Additional Electron Beams After Being Fired into Plasma

An outstanding conundrum on what happens to the laser energy after beams are fired into plasma has been solved in newly-published research at the University of Strathclyde.

Astronomers Observe Pair of Milky Way-Like Galaxies in Early Universe

For decades, astronomers have found distant galaxies by detecting the characteristic way their gas absorbs light from a bright quasar in the background.

New Hypothetical Portal Connects Two Possible Dark Sector Particles of the Universe

Once upon a time, the Universe was just a hot soup of particles. In those days, together with visible particles, other particles to us hidden or dark might have formed.

Astronomers Detect Surprise Rate of Star Formation in Dust-Obscured Galaxy

Pushing the limits of the largest single-aperture millimeter telescope in the world, and coupling it with gravitational lensing, University of Massachusetts Amherst astronomer Alexandra Pope and colleagues report that they have detected a surprising rate of star formation, four times higher than previously detected, in a dust-obscured galaxy behind a Frontier Fields cluster.

Gravitational Waves Could Propel Supermassive Black Hole from Center of Galaxy

Astronomers have uncovered a supermassive black hole that has been propelled out of the center of a distant galaxy by what could be the awesome power of gravitational waves.

Quantum / Classical Computational Simulations Used to Explain Microscopic Mechanism of AHE Release in Water

In ATP hydrolysis, water is used to split apart adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to get energy. ATP hydrolysis energy (AHE) is then used in the activities of living cells.

New Study Offers Unprecedented Insights into Photophysics of Quantum Dots

Solar cells and photodetectors could soon be made from new types of materials based on semiconductor quantum dots, thanks to new insights based on ultrafast measurements capturing real-time photoconversion processes.

Astronomers Measure Variations of PAH Emissions in Distant Galaxies

A molecule found in car engine exhaust fumes that is thought to have contributed to the origin of life on Earth has made astronomers heavily underestimate the amount of stars that were forming in the early Universe, a University of California, Riverside-led study has found.

Researchers Discover that Protoplanetary Disc Shone on by Relatively Weak Star Loses Material

Newly formed stars are surrounded by a disc of dense gas and dust. This is called the protoplanetary disc, as material sticks together within it to form planets.

New Research Offers Detailed 3D View of Space Dust

Consider that the Earth is just a giant cosmic dust bunny -- a big bundle of debris amassed from exploded stars. We Earthlings are essentially just little clumps of stardust, too, albeit with very complex chemistry.

Results from NEOS Experiment on Most Elusive Neutrinos Differ Partly from Theoretical Expectations

Dubbed as "ghost particles," neutrinos have no electric charge and their masses are so tiny that they are difficult to observe. The sun, nuclear reactors, supernovae explosions create them, when their nuclei are going through a radioactive decay, known as beta decay.
