Carnegie-led Team Confirms Presence of Unusually Distant Galaxy Cluster

The structures and star populations of massive galaxies appear to change as they age, but much about how these galaxies formed and evolved remains mysterious.

Exploded Star Had Nitrogen-Rich Wind

When a supernova – the explosion of a distant star —was discovered last year, astrophysicists, with the help of telescopes around the globe, rushed to observe the fireworks.

Global Symmetry Not Required for Sped up Search by Quantum Particles

A quantum particle can search for an item in an unsorted "database" by jumping from one item to another in superposition, and it does so faster than a classical computer ever could.

SWARM Mission to Track and Measure Earth’s Magnetic Forces

Thanks to a constellation of three satellites, ESA’s SWARM mission will track and measure the planet’s magnetic forces from its core to its upper atmosphere. Five months after the launch, the satellites are beginning to gather data.

Maximum Theoretical Limit of Energy Needed to Control Magnetization of Single Atom

An EPFL-led research collaboration has shown for the first time the maximum theoretical limit of energy needed to control the magnetization of a single atom. The fundamental work can have great implications for the future of magnetic research and technology.

Berkeley Lab’s Superheavy-Element Research Team Does Chemistry One Atom at a Time

It’s now more or less official: element 117 will have a seat at the periodic table. Earlier this month an international team of scientists that included researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s Nuclear Science Division found two atoms of superheavy element 117.

Water Molecules Caged in Fullerene Spheres Provide Deeper Insight into Spin Isomers

In a new paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics, produced by AIP Publishing, a research team in the United Kingdom and the United States describes how water molecules "caged" in fullerene spheres ("buckyballs") are providing a deeper insight into spin isomers -- varieties of a molecule that differ in their nuclear spin.

Theoretical Model of Environment's Influence on Particles Does Not Violate Third Law of Thermodynamics

A change of models demystifies anomalous particle behavior at very low temperatures, confirming that the third law of thermodynamics cannot be violated

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Spin-Echo Techniques used to Study Clustering of Antibodies

Scientists have used small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) techniques for the first time to understand how monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), a class of targeted biopharmaceuticals used to treat autoimmune disorders and cancer, dynamically cluster and move in high concentration solutions.

Toshiba Concludes Toroidal Field Coils Contract with JAEA for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has concluded a contract with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) for the manufacture of toroidal field coils for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) being constructed in Cadarache, France.
