New Theoretical Work Suggests Present-Day Life Actually Premature from Cosmic Perspective

The universe is 13.8 billion years old, while our planet formed just 4.5 billion years ago. Some scientists think this time gap means that life on other planets could be billions of years older than ours.

Astronomers Successfully Peer into Supernova's Past Life Before its Famous Explosion

Astronomers have managed to peer into the past of a nearby star millions of years before its famous explosion, using a telescope in remote outback Australia at a site free from FM radio interference.

Physicists Succeed in Revealing Essential Properties of Spin Seebeck Effect

To conceptualize and develop new processes for information processing, a fundamental building block is thermoelectric effects as they allow waste heat released by different processes to be reused to run the respective devices. These effects play a role in the establishment of processes that are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

KU Physicist Proposes New Concept about Large Hadron Collider Excess

In December 2015, researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe reported surprising results that suggested the presence of a new subatomic particle, with a mass six times heavier than that of the Higgs boson. Higgs boson is a particle in the Standard Model of physics and made headlines back in 2012.

NuSTAR Makes Significant Progress in Resolving High-Energy X-ray Background

Supermassive black holes do not give off any of their own light, hence the word "black" in their name. However, many black holes pull in, or accrete, surrounding material, and emit powerful bursts of X-rays.

Astronomers Use ALMA Telescope to Uncover Hidden Stellar Birthplace in NGC 4945

A team of astronomers from the University of Manchester and the University of Bonn have uncovered a hidden stellar birthplace in a nearby spiral galaxy, using a telescope in Chile. The results show that the speed of star formation in the centre of the galaxy - and other galaxies like it - may be much higher than previously thought.
