Physics World Recognizes Creation of Tiny Supernova Explosions in the Lab

Physics World recognised the work of Gianluca Gregori and Jena Meinecke of the University of Oxford in the UK and an international team, "for using one of the world's most powerful laser facilities to create tiny versions of supernova explosions in the laboratory."

Role of Ostwald Ripening in Bubble Formation May Help Address Future Energy Needs

Uncork a bottle of champagne, and as the pressure of the liquid is abruptly removed, bubbles immediately form and then rapidly begin the process of "coarsening," in which larger bubbles grow at the expense of smaller ones.

All Stars Appear to be About the Same Age in Large Middle-Aged Clusters

An examination of middle-aged star clusters reveals an unexpectedly narrow age range among their stars, suggesting that large groups of stars evolve differently than previously understood

Black Holes Don't Have to be Very Powerful to Shut Down Star Formation

High-energy jets powered by supermassive black holes can blast away a galaxy's star-forming fuel, resulting in so-called "red and dead" galaxies: those brimming with ancient red stars yet containing little or no hydrogen gas to create new ones.

Exact Solution to Model Galactic Structure, Supernova Explosions and High-Energy Particle Collisions

Unlike in mathematics, it is rare to have exact solutions to physics problems.

Possible Method to Determine Involvement of Higgs Boson in Matter-Antimatter Imbalance

Several experiments, including the BaBar experiment at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, have helped explain some – but not all – of the imbalance between matter and antimatter in the universe. Now a SLAC theorist and his colleagues have laid out a possible method for determining if the Higgs boson is involved.

Voyager 1 Experiences Three "Tsunami Waves" in Interstellar Space

The "tsunami wave" that NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft began experiencing earlier this year is still propagating outward, according to new results. It is the longest-lasting shock wave that researchers have seen in interstellar space.

Rocky Exoplanets Stretched out by Gravity of the Stars

Astronomers could soon be able to find rocky planets stretched out by the gravity of the stars they orbit, according to a group of researchers in the United States. The team, led by Prabal Saxena of George Mason University, describe how to detect these exotic worlds in a paper in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
