Hubble Space Telescope Sees Spiral in Andromeda Constellation

The Andromeda constellation is one of the 88 modern constellations and should not be confused with our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda constellation is home to the pictured galaxy known as NGC 7640.

University of Basel Physicists Calculate Signal of Specific Gravitational Wave Sources

For the first time, theoretical physicists from the University of Basel have calculated the signal of specific gravitational wave sources that emerged fractions of a second after the Big Bang.

MIT Scientists Estimate Lifetime of Solar Nebula

About 4.6 billion years ago, an enormous cloud of hydrogen gas and dust collapsed under its own weight, eventually flattening into a disk called the solar nebula. Most of this interstellar material contracted at the disk’s center to form the sun, and part of the solar nebula’s remaining gas and dust condensed to form the planets and the rest of our solar system.

Researchers Study Quantum State in Mott Insulators

Electrons in Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling assemble themselves in a manner that makes the materials magnetic at low temperatures. This has been proved by several experiments, and the research on this could help arrive at a more complete quantum theory of magnetism.

Researchers Observe How L1527 Protostar Exhibits Strange Geometry

One of the big puzzles in astrophysics is how stars like the sun manage to form from collapsing molecular clouds in star-forming regions of the universe. The puzzle is known technically as the angular momentum problem in stellar formation.
