Debris and Stars' Cores Hurtle Off in Opposite Directions When Stellar Giants Die

New observations of a recently exploded star are confirming supercomputer model predictions made at Caltech that the deaths of stellar giants are lopsided affairs in which debris and the stars' cores hurtle off in opposite directions.

ALMA Witnesses Ancient, Extreme Mode of Star Formation

Globular clusters - dazzling agglomerations of up to a million ancient stars - are among the oldest objects in the universe. Though plentiful in and around many galaxies, newborn examples are vanishingly rare and the conditions necessary to create new ones have never been detected, until now.

Construction of JGU’s Center of Fundamental Physics Receives Support from the German Council of Science and Humanities

The German Council of Science and Humanities has agreed to support an application by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) for federal and state funding for a new research building for particle, astro-particle, and hadron physics. The Funding for University Buildings program is designed to exclusively provide financing for the construction of buildings housing research projects of multi-regional significance and characterized by innovative and interdisciplinary research concepts.

Thallium Sulfide Iodide Holds Promise for Fabricating Room-Temperature Semiconductor Radiation Detectors

Radiation detectors, which monitor high-energy particles such as those produced by nuclear decay and cosmic radiation, are being used increasingly in medical imaging, petroleum well logging, astronomy and national security.

Forming Planets Could Be Responsible for Gaps in Dust and Gas Swirling Around HL Tau Star

A recent and famous image from deep space marks the first time we've seen a forming planetary system, according to a study by U of T astrophysicists.

The University of Manchester to Play Key Role in Experiment to Detect Neutrinos

Scientists at Fermilab, just outside Chicago, want to fire a beam of particles through 1,300km (800 miles) of rock some 30km below the surface to a detector built in a former mine in South Dakota.

Astronomers Discover Exceptionally Luminous Galaxy in the Early Universe

An international team of astronomers led by Yale University and the University of California-Santa Cruz have pushed back the cosmic frontier of galaxy exploration to a time when the universe was only 5% of its present age.

String Theory ‘Legos’ Could Help Understand Extreme Physics of Black Holes

Four decades ago, Dr. Stephen Hawking posed a paradox about black holes that still challenges the imaginations of physicists today. The “information paradox” suggests that nothing, not even information itself, survives beyond a black hole’s event horizon, which clashes with the quantum principle that information cannot be destroyed.

Massive Superconducting Electromagnet Crosses the Country to Unlock Secrets of the Atom

Why did the 40,000-pound superconducting magnet cross the country? The full answer to this twist on the old joke is complicated, but here’s the short version: to unlock the secrets of the atom.
