Measuring the Distant Universe in 3-D Using Light from 14,000 Quasars
May 1, 2011 — The biggest 3-D map of the distant universe ever made, using light from 14,000 quasars over 10 billion light years away to show the distribution of intergalactic clouds of gas, has been announced. ... > full story -
Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Heads for the International Space Station
April 27, 2011 — The AMS particle detector will take off on 29 April 2011 at 21.47 CEST onboard the very last mission of the space Shuttle Endeavour. AMS, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, will then be installed on ... > full story -
Another Universe Tugging on Ours? Maybe Not: Data from Exploding Stars Contradicts Earlier Study
April 20, 2011 — In 2008, researchers announced a startling discovery: Clusters of galaxies far apart from one another appeared to be traveling in the same direction. Maybe another universe existed beyond the bounds ... > full story -
Probing the Laws of Gravity: A Gravity Resonance Method
April 18, 2011 — Quantum mechanical methods can now be used to study gravity. Scientists in Austria have developed a new measurement method that allows them to test the fundamental theories of ... > full story -
Search for Dark Matter Moves One Step Closer to Detecting Elusive Particle
April 14, 2011 — Dark matter, the mysterious substance that may account for nearly 25 percent of the universe, has so far evaded direct observation. But researchers participating in the international XENON ... > full story -
Observation of Rare Particles May Shed Light on Why the Universe Has More Matter Than Antimatter
March 28, 2011 — Physicists have now observed the decays of a rare particle that was present right after the Big Bang. Scientists hope this will help to solve the mystery of why the universe evolved with more matter ... > full story -
Suzaku Shows Clearest Picture Yet of Perseus Galaxy Cluster
March 24, 2011 — X-ray observations made by the Suzaku observatory provide the clearest picture to date of the size, mass and chemical content of a nearby cluster of galaxies. The study also provides the first direct ... > full story -
Is Space Like a Chessboard?
March 19, 2011 — Unveiling a concept that is at once novel and deceptively simple, physicists have found that two-valued spin can arise from having two types of tiles -- light and dark -- in a chessboard-like space. ... > full story -
NASA's Hubble Rules out One Alternative to Dark Energy
March 14, 2011 — Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have ruled out an alternate theory on the nature of dark energy after recalculating the expansion rate of the universe to unprecedented ... > full story -
