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)
X-Rays Examine Colliding Galaxies
Galaxies were once thought of as `island universes` evolving slowly in complete isolation. This is now known not to be the case. By using the world`s most powerful X-ray observatories, UK astronomers are discovering that most of these gigantic star systems interact with each other in a wide variety of ways. During the UK National Astronomy Meeting... view more... (2002-04-07)
Chandra looks back at the Earth
In an unusual observation, a team of scientists has scanned the northern polar region of Earth with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. view more (2005-12-30)
X-rays provide a new way to investigate exploding stars
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed a new class of exploding stars - where the X-ray emission 'lives fast and dies young'. view more (2007-05-10)
Argonne scientists use lasers to align molecules
Protein crystallographers have only scratched the surface of the human proteins important for drug interactions because of difficulties crystallizing the molecules for synchrotron x-ray diffraction. view more (2008-05-14)
The Glory of a Nearby Star
Optical Light from a Hot Stellar Corona Detected with the VLT The solar corona is a beautiful sight during total solar eclipses. It is the uppermost region of the extended solar atmosphere and consists of a very hot (over 1 million degrees), tenuous plasma of highly ionised elements that emit strong X-ray radiation. There is also a much weaker... view more... (2001-07-31)
Effectiveness of mouse breeds that mimic Alzheimer's disease symptoms questioned
Scientists have shown that recently developed mouse breeds that mimic the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may not be as effective as previously assumed. view more (2007-08-17)
UI researchers discover star orbiting a 'medium-sized' black hole
University of Iowa researchers have found a star orbiting a "medium-sized" black hole - about 1,000 times more massive than the sun - in the nearby starburst galaxy M82, a development that may help explain how medium-sized black holes form and evolve. view more (2006-01-06)
Diabetes drug dramatically boosts power of platinum chemotherapy
A widely used diabetes drug dramatically boosted the potency of platinum-based cancer drugs when administered together to a variety of cancer cell lines and to mice with tumors, scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report. view more (2007-05-08)
NASA's Chandra sees brightest supernova ever
The brightest stellar explosion ever recorded may be a long-sought new type of supernova, according to observations by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based optical telescopes. view more (2007-05-08)
Ghost Remains After Black Hole Eruption
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found a cosmic "ghost" lurking around a distant supermassive black hole. This is the first detection of such a high-energy apparition, and scientists think it is evidence of a huge eruption produced by the black hole. view more (2009-05-29)
Seeing through tooth decay
Dental caries afflict at least 90% of the world's population at some time in their lives. Detecting the first signs of this disease, which can be lethal in extreme cases, just got easier thanks to work by researchers in India discussed in the latest issue of the International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology. view more (2008-08-25)
Pulsar find boosts hope for gravity-wave hunters
Neutron star pairs may merge and give off a burst of gravity waves about six times more often than previously thought, scientists report in today's issue of the journal Nature [4 December]. If so, the current generation of gravity-wave detectors might be able to register such an event every year or two, rather than about once a decade - the most... view more... (2003-12-02)
New blood tests for TB show exposure to disease while tuberculin skin tests do not
Two new interferon-gamma blood test assays to detect latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) showed customers were exposed to a supermarket employee in Holland who had smear-positive tuberculosis, while traditional tuberculin skin tests (TST) did not, according to a large contact study. view more (2007-03-15)
Impetus for TESLA
"DESY welcomes the rapid and trend-setting statement of the Federal Government on the large-scale research facilities and sees it as a tremendous chance for TESLA," said the Chairman of the DESY Directorate, Professor Albrecht Wagner in a first reaction. "The possibility to realize the TESLA X-ray laser as a European project at DESY opens up... view more... (2003-02-05)
Stress management: X-rays reveal Si thin-film defects
Pile-ups, bad on the freeway, also are a hazard for the makers of high-performance strained-silicon (Si) semiconductor devices. view more (2006-07-10)
Ultrasound researchers make no bones about their work

UCLA's Christopher Russell leads NASA's Dawn Mission, set for July 7 launch
Christopher T. Russell, UCLA professor of geophysics and space physics, has spent 15 years working on NASA's Dawn mission to the doughnut-shaped asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. As the scheduled July 7 launch from Cape Canaveral nears, Russell is ready, and so is Dawn. view more (2007-06-28)
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... view more... (2005-03-07)
Voracious black holes hide their appetite in dusty galaxies
A UK-led team of astronomers reports that they have tracked down an elusive population of black holes growing rapidly hidden behind clouds of dust. view more (2005-08-08)
