First-Ever Model Simulation of the Structuring of the Observable Universe
April 12, 2012 — Astronomers have performed the first-ever computer model simulation of the structuring of the entire observable universe, from the Big Bang to the present day. The simulation has made it possible to ... > full story -
Discovery of the Musket Ball Cluster, a System of Colliding Galaxy Clusters
April 12, 2012 — Using a combination of powerful observatories in space and on the ground, astronomers have observed a violent collision between two galaxy clusters in which so-called normal matter has been wrenched ... > full story -
LHC Physics Data Taking Gets Underway at New Record Collision Energy of 8TeV
April 5, 2012 — At 00:38 CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams’ as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC’s four interaction points. This signals the ... > full story -
Dwarf Galaxies Provide New Insights on Dark Matter
April 2, 2012 — Scientists have looked for signals from dark matter by zeroing in on 10 small, faint galaxies that orbit our own. Although no signals have been detected, a novel analysis technique applied to two ... > full story -
