Astronomers Study Mysterious Origin of Massive Stars Buried Within RCW 106

RCW 106 is a sprawling cloud of gas and dust located about 12 000 light-years away in the southern constellation of Norma (The Carpenter’s Square). The region gets its name from being the 106th entry in a catalogue of H II regions in the southern Milky Way [1]. H II regions like RCW 106 are clouds of hydrogen gas that are being ionised by the intense starlight of scorching-hot, young stars, causing them to glow and display weird and wonderful shapes.

World's Top Particle Accelerators Reach Milestone

One of the world's top particle accelerators has reached a milestone, achieving its "first turns" — circulating beams of particles for the first time — and opening a new window into the universe, a view that will give physicists access to a record rate of particle collisions in a tiny volume in space.

Physicists Working at LHC Accelerator See First Traces of Physics Beyond Current Theory

In light of the latest analysis on the decay of beauty mesons, the dawn of a new era, that of 'new physics', may be approaching. An important contribution to the analysis has been made by physicists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) from Poland.

Transit Spectroscopy Might Enable Astronomers to Scan Atmospheres of Exoplanets

Are we alone in the universe? To answer this question, astronomers have been using a variety of methods in the past decades to search for habitable planets and for the signals from extraterrestrial observers – to date, with no success.

Findings at RHIC and LHC Help Better Understand Origins of the Universe

Actually, there is no reason either to go to your local theatre or to leave this galaxy for another one far away if you want to know what happened a long time ago in our universe.

Internal Tension Cracks Responsible for Formation of Celestial Bodies of Different Sizes

A Duke theorist says there's a very good reason why objects in the universe come in a wide variety of sizes, from the largest stars to the smallest dust motes -- and it has a lot to do with how paint cracks when it dries.

Study Results Help Better Understand Fundamental Aspects of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

The investigation and exploitation of light-matter-interaction in optical resonators is one of the central research topics in the Quantum Dynamics Division of Professor Gerhard Rempe, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching. A couple of years ago, the team succeeded in creating single-photon emitters using single atoms stored in optical resonators.
