Philae Probe’s Landing on Churyumov-Gerasimenko Comet Surface May Provide Unique Insights

In the coming autumn, the Philae probe is expected land on the nucleus of the 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet, which is a mere four kilometres in diameter. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research want to analyse the primeval building materials of the planets on site for the first time.

Researchers Demonstrate Direct Measurements of Quantum State Associated with Orbital-Angular Momentum

Until recently measuring a 27-dimensional quantum state would have been a time-consuming, multistage process using a technique called quantum tomography, which is similar to creating a 3D image from many 2D ones. Researchers at the University of Rochester have been able to apply a recently developed, alternative method called direct measurement to do this in a single experiment with no post-processing.

Our Galaxy May Have Grown From Inside-Out

A breakthrough using data from the Gaia-ESO project has provided evidence backing up theoretically predicted divisions in the chemical composition of the stars that make up the Milky Way's disc – the vast collection of giant gas clouds and billions of stars that give our Galaxy its 'flying saucer' shape.
