New Discovery Challenges Current Theories on How Galaxies Expand

A total of 36 dwarf galaxies situated far away from each other underwent a concurrent “baby boom” of new stars, a sudden breakthrough that challenges present theories on how galaxies expand and might improve people’s knowledge about the universe.

Space Scientists and Global Experts Investigate Fundamental Questions About the Universe

Leicester space scientists will join a group of global experts investigating fundamental questions about our Universe, after being granted time to use the most advanced observatory ever built.

Study Questions the Origin Story of the Milky Way

The first detailed cross-section of a galaxy broadly similar to the Milky Way, published today, reveals that our galaxy evolved gradually, instead of being the result of a violent mash-up.

Physicists Present Experimental Evidence of Naturally Occurring Quantum Criticality in Material

Scientists studying a special kind of semimetals have found a material with an unusually pristine nature that could be crucial for developing powerful new quantum technologies and discovering new phases of matter.

Study Shows How Quantum Electrodynamics was Discovered

Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. It is defined in terms of the amount of energy required to rip an electron from an atom.

Plutonium Particles Released from Nuclear Testing are More Complex and Varied

When the British blew up nine atomic bombs in distant locations of South Australia, inclusive of Maralinga, over 100 kg of highly toxic plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) was distributed into the environment in the form of very small “hot” radioactive particles.

New Networks Provide a Better and More Complete Picture of Meteor Showers

Comets that circle the Sun in very elongated orbits spread their debris so thin along their orbit or eject it out of the solar system altogether that their meteor showers are hard to detect.

Researchers Combine Two Different Plasma Technologies to Build New Hybrid Accelerator

Since they are far more compact than today's accelerators, which can be kilometers long, plasma accelerators are considered as a promising technology for the future.
