Hot On The Heels Of Oil Pollution
Who spilled the oil? This is not an idle inquiry especially when the damage is enormous. To catch the culprits red-handed and prove their guilt is very difficult. That is why the identification of the sources which are responsible for oil pollution seems to be one of the major environmental problems all over the world. However, thanks to efforts... view more... (2001-10-12)
Common star draws swift attention with unprecedented flare
On April 25, one of our nearest stellar neighbors, a small, faint red dwarf known as EV Lacertae, unleashed the brightest flare ever detected from a normal star outside our solar system. view more (2008-05-20)
ESA Looks Further Back In Time
Europe's X- ray Multi Mirror (XMM) space telescope goes on show for the first time on Tuesday 10 February 1998. When it is launched in 1999 into an orbit 70,000 miles above the earth, XMM will search for cosmic x-rays from the intensely hot areas of our galaxy and beyond. Sources of these x-rays include black holes, the nucleii of quasars, vampire... view more... (1998-02-09)
Making waves in cancer detection
We`re all familiar with X-rays being used to look inside our bodies. But according to physicists, medical imaging in the future is likely to be based on an as yet unused type of radiation known as terahertz radiation. view more (2002-07-23)
New sonofusion experiment produces results without external neutron source
A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Purdue University, and the Russian Academy of Sciences has used sound waves to induce nuclear fusion without the need for an external neutron source. view more (2006-01-30)

Music of the black holes: they all play the same tune
Astronomers at the University of Southampton have uncovered a remarkable connection between the monstrous black holes residing at the hearts of distant galaxies and their comparatively tiny cousins which inhabit star systems in our own Milky Way: they are playing the same tunes. Dr Phil Uttley presents these findings in a talk called `The music of... view more... (2002-04-04)

Promising Drug Combination May Help Those with Ocular Melanoma that has Spread
A combination of two drugs shows promise in treating a rare and therapy-resistant type of melanoma that originates in the eye and spreads to other organs, according to a new study led by Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers. view more (2007-09-05)
Funding boost for X-ray work on the chemical make-up of materials
A Durham University research team is preparing to extend basic understanding of chemical systems using new equipment originally developed for use in space. The Chemistry Department project, led by Professor Judith Howard, has secured £188,000 of key funding towards the cost of an ultra-high-tech X-ray facility. The new facility is based on a... view more... (2000-12-19)
Nine Countries Plan to Participate in the XFEL
An important milestone has been reached on the way towards the realization of the European X-ray laser XFEL: With France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, nine countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in which they agree to jointly prepare the foundation of the facility. "Even if this... view more... (2005-01-24)
No matter their size black holes 'feed' in the same way
Research by UK astronomers, published today in Nature (7th December 2006) reveals that the processes at work in black holes of all sizes are the same and that supermassive black holes are simply scaled up versions of small Galactic black holes. view more (2006-12-07)
The dark matter of the universe has a long lifetime
