Laser Physicists Measure Photoionization Process with Zeptosecond Precision

Laser physicists in Munich have measured a photoionization -- in which an electron exits a helium atom after excitation by light -- for the first time with zeptosecond precision. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second (10^-21 seconds).

Scientists Use MAGIC to Discover Most Distant Gamma-Ray Source with Very High Energies

In a study published last Friday in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, scientists of the international collaboration of the MAGIC telescopes (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescope), located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, in Garafía (La Palma), and among which are researchers of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have announced the discovery of gamma-ray emission more distant than any previous detection.

Scientists Create Model of Magnetic Material that Unveils Unusual State of Matter

A little frustration can make life interesting. This is certainly the case in physics, where the presence of competing forces that cannot be satisfied at the same time - known as frustration - can lead to rare material properties.

Electrons Reveal Quantum Nature at Extremely Low Temperatures

What would happen if an electric current no longer flowed, but trickled instead? This was the question investigated by researchers working with Christian Ast at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research.

Researchers Explore Basic Principles of Formation of Massive Stars

The birth of massive stars is still a mystery to us, because these stars are embedded in an extremely dense medium of gas and dust, says Rolf Kuiper, the leader of the Emmy Noether Research Group for Massive Star Formation, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Scientists Develop New Methods to Study Time Structure of Quantum Jumps

Quantum particles can change their state very quickly -- this is called a "quantum jump". An atom, for example, can absorb a photon, thereby changing into a state of higher energy.

Particle Accelerator Experts Demonstrate New Type of Beam Diagnostics Device

A precise measurement of absolute beam intensity is essential for many areas of science. It is a key parameter to monitor any losses in a beam and to calibrate the absolute number of particles delivered to the experiments.

Collision of Two Distant Galaxies Produces Dazzling Arcs of Intense Star Formation

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a tsunami of stars and gas that is crashing midway through the disk of a spiral galaxy known as IC 2163.

Southern Constellation of Tucana Cluster Possesses Variety of Unsung Cosmic Beauties

It may be famous for hosting spectacular sights such as the Tucana Dwarf Galaxy and 47 Tucanae (heic1510), the second brightest globular cluster in the night sky, but the southern constellation of Tucana (The Toucan) also possesses a variety of unsung cosmic beauties.
