Scientists Develop a Whole New Way of Harvesting Energy from the Sun
February 24, 2013 — A new method of harvesting the sun's energy is emerging. Though still in its infancy, the research promises to convert sunlight into energy using a process based on metals that are more robust than ... > full story -
Particle Physics Research Sheds New Light on Possible 'Fifth Force of Nature'
February 21, 2013 — In a breakthrough for the field of particle physics, researchers have established new limits on what scientists call "long-range spin-spin interactions" between atomic particles. These interactions ... > full storyMore: -
Faraday Cup Critical Part of Audacious Mission to the Sun
February 21, 2013 — A critical instrument on a mission to the sun is being tested. The flight's experiments could answer the question: How can the sun be hot at its core yet stay relatively cool at its surface, while at ... > full story -
Titanium Dioxide Nanoreactor: Synthesis to Produce Nanoparticles at Room Temperature in a Polymer Network
February 21, 2013 — Tiny particles of titanium dioxide are found as key ingredients in wall paints, sunscreens, and toothpaste; they act as reflectors of light or as abrasives. However with decreasing particle size and ... > full story -
NASA's SDO Shows a Little 'Rain' on the Sun
February 20, 2013 — Eruptive events on the sun can be wildly different. Some come just with a solar flare, some with an additional ejection of solar material called a coronal mass ejection, and some with complex moving ... > full story -
Sun's Next-Door Twin: Cool Layer in the Atmosphere of Alpha Centauri A
February 20, 2013 — The European Space Agency's Herschel space observatory has detected a cool layer in the atmosphere of Alpha Centauri A, the first time this has been seen in a star beyond our own Sun. The finding is ... > full story -
Cassini Sheds Light on Cosmic Particle Accelerators
February 19, 2013 — During a chance encounter with what appears to be an unusually strong blast of solar wind at Saturn, NASA's Cassini spacecraft detected particles being accelerated to ultra-high energies. This is ... > full story -
In the Blink of an Eye: X-Ray Imaging on the Attosecond Timescale
February 17, 2013 — Scientists have been using powerful laboratory-scale lasers to test whether multidimensional nonlinear x-ray spectroscopy on the attosecond timescale is practical for the light sources of the future ... > full story -
Tiny CREPT Instrument to Study the Radiation Belts
February 15, 2013 — A smaller version of an instrument now flying on NASA's Van Allen Probes has won a coveted spot aboard an upcoming NASA-sponsored Cubesat mission -- the perfect platform for this pint-size, ... > full story -
Supernova Remnants Produce Cosmic Rays
February 14, 2013 — A new study reveals the first clear-cut evidence the expanding debris of exploded stars produces some of the fastest-moving matter in the universe. This discovery is a major step toward understanding ... > full story
