Particle-Seeking Scientists Establish New Benchmark for Electron's Almost Perfect Roundness

A small band of particle-seeking scientists at Yale and Harvard has established a new benchmark for the electron's almost perfect roundness, raising doubts about certain theories that predict what lies beyond physics...

Princeton Researcher Uses Quantum Mechanics to Understand Atomic Behavior During Natural Processes

Nature performs remarkable feats of chemistry — enabling, for example, plants to take in sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create their own food, and in the process, pump out oxygen for the rest of the planet.

NASA's NEOWISE Returns First Set of Test Images in Preparation of Renewed Mission

NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), a spacecraft that made the most comprehensive survey to date of asteroids and comets, has returned its first set of test images in preparation for a renewed mission.

Princeton Researchers Report Coexistence of Opposing Phenomena the Secret to High-Efficiency Electricity Delivery

The coexistence of two opposing phenomena might be the secret to understanding the enduring mystery in physics of how materials heralded as the future of powering our homes and communities actually work, according to Princeton University-led research. Such insight could help spur the further development of high-efficiency electric-power delivery.

Texas A&M Doctoral Student Receives 2013 CMS Achievement Award

Indara Suarez didn't speak a word of English when she arrived to the U.S. from Mexico at age 12. The grades she made in high school weren't good enough to get her into a four-year university.

Urban Galaxies Dramatically Cease Star-Making Ways

In the fable of the town and country mice, the country mouse visits his city-dwelling cousin to discover a world of opulence. In the early cosmos, billions of years ago, galaxies resided in the equivalent of urban or country environments. Those that dwelled in crowded areas called clusters also experienced a kind of opulence, with lots of cold gas, or fuel, for making stars.

Gravitational Perturbation Helps Confirm Presence of Previously Predicted Unseen Planet

Searching for periodic transits in hundred of thousand of stars was the primary goal of the Kepler space telescope. More than 3500 of such periodic transits were found during the 4 years of the mission. However, not all the planets located in the Kepler field-of-view are transiting their host star. Indeed, if their orbital plane is slightly misaligned (only a few degrees is enough) with the line of sight from the Earth, the planet is not transiting and thus, is “unseen” from the Kepler spacecraft.

Quantum Many-Body Problem of the Photoelectric Effect is Quite Complicated to Analyze

In contrast to its apparent simplicity (that brought Einstein his Nobel Prize), the photoelectric effect, when an electron is knocked out from its parent atom by a photon, is quite complicated to analyze in general, especially when the atom contains a large number of electrons.

Light Reverberates Through Murky Environment Around Pulsating Variable Star

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has observed the variable star RS Puppis over a period of five weeks, showing the star growing brighter and dimmer as it pulsates. These pulsations have created a stunning example of a phenomenon known as a light echo, where light appears to reverberate through the murky environment around the star.
