NASA Balloon Mission Tunes in to a Cosmic Radio Mystery
Listening to the early universe just got harder. A team led by Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., today announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected. View More (2009-01-08)
Do we live in a computer simulation? UW researchers say idea can be tested
A decade ago, a British philosopher put forth the notion that the universe we live in might in fact be a computer simulation run by our descendants. While that seems far-fetched, perhaps even incomprehensible, a team of physicists at the University of Washington has come up with a potential test to see if the idea holds water.

Where Broken DNA is Repaired
Ionizing radiation, toxic chemicals, and other agents continually damage the body's DNA, threatening life and health: unrepaired DNA can lead to mutations, which in turn can lead to diseases like cancer. View More (2007-08-03)
Examination of radiation left from birth of universe could alter theories
Using relic radiation from the birth of the universe, astrophysicists at the University of Illinois have proposed a new way of measuring the fine-structure constant in the past, and comparing it with today. View More (2007-04-03)
Unusual views of the Sun
For centuries, we have worshipped it and wondered at it, but it`s only now that we are getting a really good look at it. Although you can`t gaze at the Sun with the naked eye, thanks to modern science we can view images of our nearest star that confirm the fiery glory our ancestors could only imagine. Today, our views of the Universe are many and varied. The visible light that our eyes can... View More (2002-05-21)
Lightning is less frequent in winter, but is much more noticeable than in summer
Study of lightning rays in the Basque Country, and their relation to precipitation is the title of the PhD thesis that physicist Joseba Areitio presented at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). View More (2011-08-10)
The cosmos is green: Researchers catch nature in the act of 'recycling' a star
For the first time, researchers have observed a singular cosmic act of rebirth: the transformation of an ordinary, slow-rotating pulsar into a superfast millisecond pulsar with an almost infinitely extended lifespan. View More (2009-05-22)
UVA researchers explain cell response to skin-damaging UV rays
It's well known that overexposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause major skin problems, ranging from skin cancer to sunburns and premature wrinkles. A tan, for example, is nature's own UV protection and an unhealthy sign that your skin is damaged. View More (2007-10-02)
A young pulsar shows its hand
A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for this beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years. View More (2009-04-06)
On October 10th at the Canaries the Magic telescope will be inaugurated: the biggest in the world for the study of gamma radiation
On October 10th the Magic Telescope (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope) will be inaugurated. The telescope is located La Palma island, 2200 meters above the sea level at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos, of the Itituto Astrofisico de Canarias. With his 17-meter-diameter-mirror and 240 square meters surface, it's the largest telescope in the world dedicated to 'gamma... View More (2003-10-06)
Astronomers find record-old cosmic explosion
Using the powerful one-two combo of NASA's Swift satellite and the Gemini Observatory, astronomers from a number of institutions, including Johns Hopkins, have detected a mysterious type of cosmic explosion farther back in time than ever before. View More (2008-01-10)
Astronomers find first ever gamma ray clock
Astronomers using the H.E.S.S. telescopes have discovered the first ever modulated signal from space in Very High Energy Gamma Rays - the most energetic such signal ever observed. View More (2006-11-28)
Jupiter: A cloudy mirror for the Sun?
Astronomers using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton telescope have discovered that observing the giant planet Jupiter may actually give them an insight in to solar activity on the far side of the Sun! In research reported in the most recent edition of Geophysical Research Letters, they discovered that Jupiter's x-ray glow is due to x-rays from the Sun being reflected back off the planet's...

XMM-Newton reveals a magnetic surprise
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed evidence for a magnetic field in space where astronomers never expected to find one. The magnetic field surrounds a young star called AB Aurigae and provides a possible solution to a twenty-year-old puzzle. View More (2007-02-23)
Study gives clues to increasing X-rays' power
Three-dimensional, real-time X-ray images of patients could be closer to reality because of research recently completed by scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a pair of Russian institutes. View More (2009-06-16)
`Quiet` star wasn`t quiet after all, say astronomers
For more than two years the star was `quiet`. Or so astronomers thought. But the X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 was abuzz with activity. Scientists simply lacked the ability to `hear` it over the hum of a nearby black hole. Now a study by scientists at the University of Southampton, the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in Huntsville USA, and the University of Valencia in Spain,...

Chest X-rays can help predict which H1N1 patients are at greatest risk
A new study published in the April issue of Radiology suggests that chest x-rays may play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of H1N1 influenza by predicting which patients are likely to become sicker. View More (2010-03-23)
High-energy astrophysics puzzle
Blazars are the brightest of active galactic nuclei, and many emit very high-energy gamma rays. New observations of a blazar known as PKS 1424+240 show that it is the most-distant known source of very high-energy gamma rays. But its emission spectrum appears highly unusual. View More (2013-04-24)
Planck spots hot gas bridging galaxy cluster pair
ESA's Planck space telescope has made the first conclusive detection of a bridge of hot gas connecting a pair of galaxy clusters across 10 million light-years of intergalactic space. View More (2012-11-21)
XMM-Newton uncovers a celestial Rosetta stone
ESA's XMM-Newton orbiting X-ray telescope has uncovered a celestial Rosetta stone: the first close-up of a white dwarf star, circling a companion star, that could explode into a particular kind of supernova in a few million years. View More (2009-09-04)
