Deep-Sea Squid Can 'Jettison Arms' as Defensive Tactic
August 2, 2012 — A researcher has observed a never-before-seen defensive strategy used by a small species of deep-sea squid in which the animal counter-attacks a predator and then leaves the tips of its arms attached ... > full story -
Theoretical Physicists Probe the Majorana Mystery
August 1, 2012 — Physicists close in on a subatomic particle that could enable the next generation of supercomputers and illuminate the inscrutability of cosmic dark ... > full story -
Dark Galaxies of the Early Universe Spotted for the First Time
July 11, 2012 — Dark galaxies are small, gas-rich galaxies in the early Universe that are very inefficient at forming stars. They are predicted by theories of galaxy formation and are thought to be the building ... > full story -
Hubble Unmasks Ghost Galaxies
July 10, 2012 — Astronomers are studying some of the smallest and faintest galaxies in our cosmic neighborhood. These galaxies are fossils of the early Universe: They have barely changed for 13 billion years. The ... > full story -
Milky Way Struck 100 Million Years Ago, Still Rings Like a Bell
June 28, 2012 — Astronomers have discovered evidence that our Milky Way had an encounter with a small galaxy or massive dark matter structure perhaps as recently as 100 million years ago, and as a result of that ... > full story -
Reaching, Researching Between Stars: Astronomers Use Lonestar Supercomputer to Explore Role of Dark Matter in Galaxy Formation
June 26, 2012 — A new study reveals that dark matter is more distributed than predictions previously stated. Researchers used the TACC Lonestar supercomputer to simulate thousands of galaxy models based on the ... > full story -
Compact Blue Dwarf Can’t Hide from Hubble
June 19, 2012 — The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new view of the dwarf galaxy UGC 5497, which looks a bit like salt sprinkled on black velvet in the ... > full story -
Neutrons Escaping to a Parallel World?
June 15, 2012 — In a new paper, researchers hypothesize the existence of mirror particles to explain the anomalous loss of neutrons observed experimentally. The existence of such mirror matter had been suggested in ... > full story -
Black Hole Growth Found to Be out of Sync
June 11, 2012 — New evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory challenges prevailing ideas about how black holes grow in the centers of galaxies. Astronomers long have thought that a supermassive black hole and ... > full story -
Helices of Light: Dark Helices With a Bright Future
June 11, 2012 — Laser beams can be made to form dark as well as bright intensity helices, or corkscrews of light. Scientists have now shown that forming dark helices can have considerable advantages over ... > full story
