Astronomers Announce Evidence of Exoplanet Being Born

Since prehistory, humans have speculated about how the planets in our solar system were formed. Today, astronomers announce evidence of an exoplanet being born that could move us one step closer to understanding the process of planet formation around other stars.

UltraVISTA Unearths Many Previously Hidden Massive Galaxies

Just counting the number of galaxies in a patch of sky provides a way to test astronomers' theories of galaxy formation and evolution. However, such a simple task becomes increasingly hard as astronomers attempt to count the more distant and fainter galaxies.

Scientists Capture First-Ever Images of a Planet in the Making

An international team of scientists in Australia and the United States has captured the first-ever images of a planet in the making. The accumulation of dust and gas particles onto a new planet - the process by which the planet continues to form and grow - has been directly observed for the first time.

Researchers Could Have Determined Highest Concentration of Dark Matter

Dark matter is called "dark" for a good reason. Although they outnumber particles of regular matter by more than a factor of 10, particles of dark matter are elusive.

New Way to Protect Electron Waves and Optimize 1D Materials

In certain nanomaterials, electrons are able to race through custom-built roadways just one atom wide. To achieve excellent efficiency, these one-dimensional paths must be paved with absolute perfection--a single errant atom can stop racing electrons in their tracks or even launch it backwards. Unfortunately, such imperfections are inevitable.

More Precise Way to Control Desired Conducting Properties of Topological Insulators

The overheating of computer chips is a major obstacle to the development of faster and more efficient computers and mobile phones. One promising remedy for this problem could be a class of materials first discovered just a few years ago: topological insulators, which conduct electricity with less resistance and heat generation than conventional materials. Research on these materials is still in its early stages.

Custom-Built SLAC X-Ray Microscope Enables Direct Observation of Magnetic Soliton

Researchers used a powerful, custom-built X-ray microscope at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to directly observe the magnetic version of a soliton, a type of wave that can travel without resistance. Scientists are exploring whether such magnetic waves can be used to carry and store information in a new, more efficient form of computer memory that requires less energy and generates less heat.
