Artificial Magnetic Monopoles Discovered
May 31, 2013 Scientists have managed to create artificial magnetic monopoles. To do this, they merged tiny magnetic whirls, so-called skyrmions. At the point of merging, the physicists were able to create a ... > full storyMore: -
Radiation Measured by NASA's Curiosity on Voyage to Mars Has Implications for Future Human Missions
May 30, 2013 Measurements taken by NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission as it delivered the Curiosity rover to Mars in 2012 are providing NASA the information it needs to design systems to protect human ... > full story -
Global Warming Caused by CFCs, Not Carbon Dioxide, Researcher Claims in Controversial Study
May 30, 2013 Chlorofluorocarbons are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, a researcher claims in a controversial new study. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth ... > full story -
Cosmic Glitch: Astronomers Discover New Phenomenon in Neutron Star
May 29, 2013 The physics behind some of the most extraordinary stellar objects in the universe just became even more puzzling. A group of astronomers has discovered a new kind of glitch in the cosmos, ... > full story -
Klein Tunneling: Coupled Particles Cross Energy Wall
May 29, 2013 A new model demonstrates that it is possible for two particles to cross an energy barrier together, where a single particle could not. For the first time, a new kind of so-called Klein tunneling -- ... > full story -
Models from Big Molecules Captured in a Flash
May 28, 2013 The structures of most of the two million proteins in the human body are still unknown, even at low resolution. A new algorithm solves the convoluted shapes of large molecules by using images of ... > full story -
Research Effort Deep Underground Could Sort out Cosmic-Scale Mysteries
May 24, 2013 Scientists have begun delivery of germanium-76 detectors to an underground laboratory in South Dakota in a team research effort that might explain the puzzling imbalance between matter and antimatter ... > full story -
Detection of the Cosmic Gamma Ray Horizon: Measures All the Light in the Universe Since the Big Bang
May 24, 2013 Radiation from all galaxies that ever existed suffuses the universe with a diffuse extragalactic background light (EBL). Measuring the EBL is as fundamental to cosmology as measuring heat from the ... > full story -
Gold Nanocrystal Vibration Captured on Billion-Frames-Per-Second Film
May 23, 2013 A billon-frames-per-second film has captured the vibrations of gold nanocrystals in stunning detail for the first ... > full story -
Hidden Population of Exotic Neutron Stars
May 23, 2013 Magnetars -- the dense remains of dead stars that erupt sporadically with bursts of high-energy radiation -- are some of the most extreme objects known in the Universe. A major campaign using NASA's ... > full story
