Fermi's Motion Produces a Study in Spirograph
February 27, 2013 NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope orbits our planet every 95 minutes, building up increasingly deeper views of the universe with every circuit. Its wide-eyed Large Area Telescope sweeps across ... > full story -
NASA's NuSTAR Helps Solve Riddle of Black Hole Spin
February 27, 2013 Two X-ray space observatories, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton, have teamed up to measure definitively, for the first time, the spin ... > full story -
Newly Observed Properties of Vacuums: Light Particles Illuminate the Vacuum
February 26, 2013 Researchers have succeeded in showing experimentally that vacuums have properties not previously observed. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, it is a state with abundant potentials. Vacuums ... > full story -
Small Molecules in the Blood Might Gauge Radiation Effects After Exposure
February 25, 2013 Researchers have identified molecules in the blood that might gauge the likelihood of radiation illness after exposure to ionizing radiation. The animal study shows that radiation predictably alters ... > full story -
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
