Understanding of Complex Networks May Help Explain How Discrete Quantum Spaces Emerge

Mathematicians investigating one of science’s great questions – How to unite the physics of the very big with that of the very small – have discovered that when the understanding of complex networks such as the brain or the internet is applied to geometry the results match up with quantum behaviour.

Oxygen May Not be an Essential Biomarker for Life on Extrasolar Planets

The Earth’s atmosphere contains oxygen because plants continuously produce it through photosynthesis. This abundant supply of oxygen allows life forms like animals to flourish. Therefore, oxygen had been thought to be an essential biomarker for life on extrasolar planets.

New Statistical Analysis Model to Enhance Astronomical Sky Surveys

The roots of tradition run deep in astronomy. From Galileo and Copernicus to Hubble and Hawking, scientists and philosophers have been pondering the mysteries of the universe for centuries, scanning the sky with methods and models that, for the most part, haven’t changed much until the last two decades.

Hidden Interstellar Clouds Enable Dwarf Irregular Galaxy to Form Brilliant Star Clusters

A nearby dwarf galaxy poses an intriguing mystery: How is it able to form brilliant star clusters without the dusty, gas-rich environments found in larger galaxies? The answer, astronomers believe, lies in densely packed and previously unrecognized nuggets of star-forming material sprinkled throughout the galaxy.

New Test Contradicts Results of Earlier Experiment on Change of Dark Matter Signals

An experiment to test whether dark matter signals change throughout the year has found contradicting results to a previous experiment, announced an international team of researchers at the TAUP2015 conference in Italy this week.

Astronomers Generate Accurate Statistical Description of Faint, Early Galaxies

Astronomers from the University of California, Irvine and Baltimore’s Space Telescope Science Institute have generated the most accurate statistical description yet of faint, early galaxies as they existed in the universe 500 million years after the Big Bang.

CRESST Experiment Expands Search Radius for Lightweight Dark Matter Particles

The Earth, planets, stars, and galaxies form only the visible portion of the matter in the universe. Greater by far is the share accounted for by invisible "dark matter". Scientists have searched for the particles of dark matter in numerous experiments - so far, in vain.
