The results could help unravel a cosmic mystery that has stumped scientists for two decades. (2009-11-13) Precise picture of early Universe supports 'dark matter' theory A detailed picture of the seeds of structures in the universe has been unveiled by an international team co-led by a Cardiff University scientist. (2009-11-03) Iowa State researchers contribute to discovery of gamma rays from starburst galaxy Iowa State University astrophysicists contributed to the recent discovery that a galaxy quickly creating new stars is also a source of high energy gamma rays. (2009-11-03) Science at the Petascale: Roadrunner Results Unveiled The world's fastest supercomputer, Roadrunner, at Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed its initial "shakedown" phase doing accelerated petascale computer modeling and simulations of a variety of unclassified, fundamental science projects. (2009-10-27) A solution to Darwin's 'mystery of the mysteries' emerges from the dark matter of the genome Biological species are often defined on the basis of reproductive isolation. Ever since Darwin pointed out his difficulty in explaining why crosses between two species often yield sterile or inviable progeny (for instance, mules emerging from a cross between a horse and a donkey), biologists have struggled with this question. (2009-10-27) Scientists use world's fastest supercomputer to model origins of the unseen universe Understanding dark energy is the number one issue in explaining the universe, according to Salman Habib, of the Laboratory's Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology group. (2009-10-27) Jumping genes, gene loss and genome dark matter In research published today by Nature, an international team describes the finest map of changes to the structure of human genomes and a resource they have developed for researchers worldwide to look at the role of these changes in human disease. (2009-10-08) Prototype developed to detect dark matter A team of researchers from the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS, in France) has developed a "scintillating bolometer", a device that the scientists will use in efforts to detect the dark matter of the Universe, and which has been tested at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Huesca, Spain. (2009-09-25) James Webb Space Telescope Begins to Take Shape at Goddard NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is starting to come together. A major component of the telescope, the Integrated Science Instrument Module structure, recently arrived at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. for testing in the Spacecraft Systems Development and Integration Facility. (2009-09-16) Queen's physicist unlocking the mysteries of neighbouring galaxies An international team of astronomers, including Queen's University physicist Larry Widrow, have uncovered evidence of a nearby cosmic encounter.
