UC Riverside-Led Research Team Explains Why Galaxies Stop Creating Stars

Galaxies come in three main shapes - elliptical, spiral (such as the Milky Way) and irregular. They can be massive or small. To add to this mix, galaxies can also be blue or red. Blue galaxies are still actively forming stars. Red ones mostly are not currently forming stars, and are considered passive.

Aalto University Scientists Break World Record in Energy Resolution of Thermal Photodetection

Aalto University scientists have broken the world record by fourteen fold in the energy resolution of thermal photodetection.

Physicists Confirm Existence of Rare Four-Quark Particle

Physicists in the Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences have made science history by confirming the existence of a rare four-quark particle and discovering evidence of three other "exotic" siblings.

Astronomers Image First Planet Ever within Triple-Star System

A team of astronomers have used the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope to image the first planet ever found in a wide orbit inside a triple-star system. The orbit of such a planet had been expected to be unstable, probably resulting in the planet being quickly ejected from the system. But somehow this one survives.

Researchers Find Coexistence of Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism in CsEuFe4As4

Superconductivity (SC) and ferromagnetism (FM) are mutually antagonistic collective phenomena in solids. Macroscopically, a superconductor expels magnetic fluxes from its interior (so-called Meissner state) below the superconducting critical temperature TSC.

NSF-Supported Discovery Helps Researchers Better Understand Planet Formation, Orbit Stars

Graduate students supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) helped helm two separate exoplanet discoveries that could expand researchers' understanding of how planets form and orbit stars.

New Hubble Image Reveals Crab Nebula's Beating Heart

Peering deep into the core of the Crab Nebula, this close-up image reveals the beating heart of one of the most historic and intensively studied remnants of a supernova, an exploding star. The inner region sends out clock-like pulses of radiation and tsunamis of charged particles embedded in magnetic fields.

Physicists Use Quantum Models to Better Understand Efficiency of Si-Ge Core-Shell Nanowire Transistor

Nearly 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, nanowires can only be understood with quantum mechanics. Using quantum models, physicists from Michigan Technological University have figured out what drives the efficiency of a silicon-germanium (Si-Ge) core-shell nanowire transistor.

New Findings Help Understand Dynamic Behavior of Galaxy Clusters

Working with information sent from the Japanese Hitomi satellite, an international team of researchers that include Stanford scientists has obtained the first views of a supermassive black hole stirring hot gas at the heart of a galaxy cluster, like a spoon stirring cream into coffee.

Plasma Surrounding Central Black Hole Not Swirling as Fast as Suspected

At the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster — a swarm of thousands of galaxies that spans 2 million light years across and is one of the most massive known objects in the universe — a black hole is attempting to stir things up, blowing giant bubbles and jets and ripples of gas out into the galactic plasma.
