(2009-11-03) Starburst galaxy sheds light on longstanding cosmic mystery An international collaboration that includes scientists from the University of Delaware's Bartol Research Institute in the Department of Physics and Astronomy has discovered very-high-energy gamma rays in the Cigar Galaxy (M82), a bright galaxy filled with exploding stars 12 million light years from Earth. (2009-11-03) NASA's Fermi Telescope Detects Gamma-Ray From Nearby galaxies undergoing a furious pace of star formation also emit lots of gamma rays, say astronomers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. (2009-11-03) Gamma-ray photon race ends in dead heat; Einstein wins this round Racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years, two gamma-ray photons arrived at NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope within nine-tenths of a second of one another. (2009-10-29) Ion Tiger fuel cell unmanned air vehicle completes 23-hour flight The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL's) Ion Tiger, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell unmanned air vehicle (UAV), has flown 23 hours and 17 minutes, setting an unofficial flight endurance record for a fuel-cell powered flight. (2009-10-14) University of Nevada, Reno researcher uses 100,000 degree heat to study plasma Using one of the greatest sources of radiation energy created by man, University of Nevada, Reno researcher and faculty member Roberto Mancini is studying ultra-high temperature and non-equilibrium plasmas to mimic what happens to matter in accretion disks around black holes. (2009-09-03) NGC 4945: The Milky Way's not-so-distant Cousin ESO has released a striking new image of a nearby galaxy that many astronomers think closely resembles our own Milky Way. (2009-09-02) Penetrating insights: NIST airframe tests help ensure better shielding for flight instruments Airline travelers are used to being instructed to turn off computers and cell phones during takeoffs and landings as a precaution against interfering with the plane's navigational equipment, but outside sources of high-energy interference can be even more dangerous. (2009-08-27) Nuclear fusion research key to advancing computer chips Researchers are adapting the same methods used in fusion-energy research to create extremely thin plasma beams for a new class of "nanolithography" required to make future computer chips. (2009-08-19) Exploring the standard model of physics without the high-energy collider Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US, have performed sophisticated laser measurements to detect the subtle effects of one of nature's most elusive forces - the "weak interaction".
