UF-led team uses new observatory to characterize low-mass planets orbiting nearby star
University of Florida astronomers have found compelling evidence for two low-mass planets orbiting the nearby star Fomalhaut, just 25 light years from Earth. View More (2012-04-13)


Black Holes Grow Big by Eating Stars
Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, have a supermassive black hole at their center weighing millions to billions of suns. View More (2012-04-03)



How black holes grow
A study led by a University of Utah astrophysicist found a new explanation for the growth of supermassive black holes in the center of most galaxies: they repeatedly capture and swallow single stars from pairs of stars that wander too close. View More (2012-04-02)


Much faster than a speeding bullet, planets and stars escape the Milky Way
Idan Ginsburg, a graduate student in Dartmouth's Department of Physics and Astronomy, studies some of the fastest moving objects in the cosmos. View More (2012-03-30)


Neutrons uncover new density waves in fermion liquids
Scientists working at the Institut Laue-Langevin, one of the world's leading centres for neutron science, have carried out the first investigation of two-dimensional fermion liquids using neutron scattering, and discovered a new type of very short wave-length density wave. View More (2012-03-29)


Nanostarfruits are pure gold for research
They look like fruit, and indeed the nanoscale stars of new research at Rice University have tasty implications for medical imaging and chemical sensing. View More (2012-03-28)


Many billions of rocky planets in the habitable zones around red dwarfs in the Milky Way
This first direct estimate of the number of light planets around red dwarf stars has just been announced by an international team using observations with the HARPS spectrograph on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. View More (2012-03-28)


NIST findings awaken age-old anesthesia question
Why does inhaling anesthetics cause unconsciousness? New insights into this century-and-a-half-old question may spring from research performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). View More (2012-03-22)


Super-Earth unlikely able to transfer life to other planets
While scientists believe conditions suitable for life might exist on the so-called "super-Earth" in the Gliese 581 system, it's unlikely to be transferred to other planets within that solar system.  View More (2012-03-21)


Explosive Stars with Good Table Manners
An exploding star known as a Type Ia supernova plays a key role in our understanding of the universe.  View More (2012-03-21)


Researchers develop blueprint for nuclear clock accurate over billions of years
A clock accurate to within a tenth of a second over 14 billion years - the age of the universe - is the goal of research being reported this week by scientists from three different institutions.  View More (2012-03-20)


Experients may force revision of astrophysical models of the universe
In a challenge to current astrophysical models of the universe, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories Z machine and the University of Rostock in Germany have found that current estimates of ice-giant planetary interiors overstate water's compressibility by as much as 30 percent.  View More (2012-03-20)


A surprising new kind of proton transfer
When a proton - the bare nucleus of a hydrogen atom - transfers from one molecule to another, or moves within a molecule, the result is a hydrogen bond, in which the proton and another atom like nitrogen or oxygen share electrons. View More (2012-03-19)


Astronomers Get Rare Peek at Early Stage of Star Formation
Using radio and infrared telescopes, astronomers have obtained a first tantalizing look at a crucial early stage in star formation. View More (2012-03-15)


NASA's RXTE Captures Thermonuclear Behavior of Unique Neutron Star
A neutron star is the closest thing to a black hole that astronomers can observe directly, crushing half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than a city. View More (2012-03-12)


NIST/CU 'star comb' joins quest for Earth-like planets
If there is life on other planets, a laser frequency comb developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may help find it. View More (2012-03-08)


2 for 1: Simultaneous size and electrochemical measurement of nanomaterials
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have done a mash-up of two very different experimental techniques-neutron scattering and electrochemical measurements-to enable them to observe structural changes in nanoparticles as they undergo an important type of chemical reaction. View More (2012-03-08)


Important Clue Uncovered for the Origins of a Type of Supernovae Explosion, Thanks to a Research Team at the University of Pittsburgh
The origin of an important type of exploding stars-Type Ia supernovae-have been discovered, thanks to a research team at the University of Pittsburgh. View More (2012-03-05)


Ultra-fast Outflows Help Monster Black Holes Shape Their Galaxies
A curious correlation between the mass of a galaxy's central black hole and the velocity of stars in a vast, roughly spherical structure known as its bulge has puzzled astronomers for years. View More (2012-02-28)


Pitt researchers coax gold into nanowires
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have coaxed gold into nanowires as a way of creating an inexpensive material for detecting poisonous gases found in natural gas.  View More (2012-02-22)
