Data from Astronomical Surveys used to Measure Large Distances in the Universe

For the first time researchers have measured large distances in the Universe using data, rather than calculations related to general relativity.

Attosecond XUV Spectroscopy Helps Measure Mobile Electrons in Semiconductors

The entire semiconductor industry, not to mention Silicon Valley, is built on the propensity of electrons in silicon to get kicked out of their atomic shells and become free. These mobile electrons are routed and switched though transistors, carrying the digital information that characterizes our age.

Scientists Could Have Identified Signal from Dark Matter Particle

Could there finally be tangible evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe? After sifting through reams of X-ray data, scientists in EPFL's Laboratory of Particle Physics and Cosmology (LPPC) and Leiden University believe they could have identified the signal of a particle of dark matter.

Dusty Hallmarks of Pluto-Size Objects Swarm Around Adolescent Sun-Like Star

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) may have detected the dusty hallmarks of an entire family of Pluto-size objects swarming around an adolescent version of our own Sun.

Discovery of New Ice Form Could Help Improve Understanding of Planet’s Geology

The discovery of a new form of ice could lead to an improved understanding of our planet’s geology, potentially helping to unlock new solutions in the production, transportation and storage of energy. Ice XVI, the least dense of all known forms of ice, has a highly symmetric cage-like structure that can trap gaseous molecules to form compounds known as clathrates or gas hydrates.

KCETA Honors Renowned Russian-US American Theoretical Particle Physicist with Julius Wess Award

The KIT Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics Center (KCETA) of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) grants the Julius Wess Award 2014 to the Russian-US American scientist Arkady Vainshtein. Professor Vainshtein is considered one of the most renowned theoretical particle physicists of the second half of the 20th century.

CERN Opens IdeaSquare Innovation Facility in Geneva

The European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN has opened a new innovation facility in Geneva. The facility, which has been named IdeaSquare, is modelled on Finnish Aalto University's Design Factory and Aalto University has assisted in the planning and implementation of the project. IdeaSquare will serve as an environment for technological development and its purpose is to make the technology developed at CERN more widely available for society.
