UT Arlington Physicists May Have Discovered Exomoons

Scientists hunting for life beyond Earth have discovered more than 1,800 planets outside our solar system, or exoplanets, in recent years, but so far, no one has been able to confirm an exomoon. Now, physicists from The University of Texas at Arlington believe following a trail of radio wave emissions may lead them to that discovery.

Villum Foundation Grants 1.2 Million kr for Research on ‘Unconventional Superconductors’

There are a growing number of advanced materials that possess new superconducting properties at extremely high temperatures. These materials fall within a broad category of interacting elements. Why these materials are superconducting remains a mystery and this is one of the fundamental problems in condensed matter physics.

Internal Rotational Dynamics of Quantum Electrons Surprisingly Different from Classical Model

The dynamic behavior of electrons in magnetic fields is crucial for understanding physical processes, such as the quantum Hall effect, which are important in many areas of solid state physics, including electrical conductivity. Yet, there is much that remains unknown about exactly how electrons behave in a magnetic field.

Rosetta Spacecraft Rendezvous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

After a decade-long journey chasing its target, the European Space Agency's Rosetta, carrying three NASA instruments, became the first spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet. The last of a series of 10 rendezvous maneuvers that began in May, to adjust Rosetta's speed and trajectory to gradually match those of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, occurred today (Aug. 6, 2014).

X-ray Laser with Attosecond Timing Resolution Helps Take Snapshots of Electrons Zipping Around Atoms

Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a laser-timing system that could allow scientists to take snapshots of electrons zipping around atoms and molecules. Taking timing to this new extreme of speed and accuracy at the Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray laser, a DOE Office of Science user facility, will make it possible to see the formative stages of chemical reactions.
