Neutron stars join the black hole jet set
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system. view more (2007-06-28)
Suzaku Snaps First Complete X-ray View of a Galaxy Cluster
The joint Japan-U.S. Suzaku mission is providing new insight into how assemblages of thousands of galaxies pull themselves together. view more (2009-05-29)
Penn Researchers Pinpoint the Brain Waves That Distinguish False Memories From Real Ones
For the first time, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are able to pinpoint brain waves that distinguish true from false memories, providing a better understanding of how memory works and creating a new strategy to help epilepsy patients retain cognitive function. view more (2007-10-24)
Select quality seeds
Old MacDonald had a horse. These days he owns a mechanized seeder and crop seeds that have been optimized via X-ray technology. Microcomputer tomography is being used to automatically analyze and grade the quality of sugar beet seeds. The spring sowing of sugar beet will begin in a couple of weeks in central Europe. Even if as many plants as... view more... (2004-02-26)
Rare gamma-ray flare from a distant star disturbs Earth's daytime ionosphere
On Dec. 27, 2004, scientists detected the largest gamma-ray burst ever recorded. It came from a magnetar-a neutron star with an enormous magnetic field-50,000 light years away. view more (2006-02-21)
New NIST nano-ruler sets some very small marks
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a new ruler, and even for an organization that routinely deals in superlatives, it sets some records. view more (2009-09-23)
Discovery of Giant X-ray Loop Hints at Cosmic Particle Accelerator
Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy. The loop, which was observed in X-ray wavelengths, is 15 times the size of the Arches Cluster, a star-forming region close to the centre of the Milky Way. This is the first time that such a distinctive and... view more... (2005-03-31)
Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair
Proteins called H2AX act as "first aid" to DNA, among other roles. For the first time, scientists using the world's most powerful light microscope (the only one of its kind in the Americas) have seen how H2AX is distributed in the cell nucleus: in clusters, directing the first aid/repair after DNA injuries to the region where it is... view more...

Iron For Crystals Or Cheap Tomographs
Unlike the traditional X-ray photography, which imprints a black-and-white picture on the film, the X-ray tomograph reproduces coloured three-dimensional `movies` about the organs` behavior on the computer screen. The X-ray tomograph enables the scientists to find a thrombus in a blood vessel, to observe the dynamics of the abnormality of the... view more... (2002-06-07)
Astronomers find new evidence for the violent demise of sun-like stars
Two astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to discover a shell of superheated gas around a dying star in the Milky Way galaxy. view more (2005-05-31)
Milagro detects cosmic ray hot spots
The University of Maryland-led Milagro collaboration, comprised of scientists from 16 institutions across the United States, has discovered two nearby regions with an unexpected excess of cosmic rays. view more (2008-11-25)
Water theory is watertight, researchers say
There may be tiny bubbles in the wine, but not at the interface between water and a waxy coating on glass, a new study shows. view more (2007-01-18)
FaME38: Helping engineers studying critical materials
Airplane wings or railway rails are examples of mechanical components constantly submitted to stress. They consist of materials (metal alloys) with properties that may change under stress. To understand and improve such materials, it is essential to observe them on a microscopic scale. The ESRF and the ILL make today a step forward into looking... view more... (2002-11-26)
Chang'e-1 - new mission to Moon lifts off
A bold new mission to the Moon was launched today by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA). Chang'e-1 blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, Sichuan, atop a Long March 3A rocket. view more (2007-10-25)
Microgrid Allows Simultaneous Study of Multiple Variables
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a method for correlating the results of microscopic imaging techniques in a way that could lead to improved understanding, diagnosis, and possibly treatment of a variety of disease conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-11)
1 patient's account of becoming a live kidney donor
Annabel Ferriman, an editor at the BMJ, gives a frank first person account of her journey through the "protracted" and sometimes "frustrating" process of becoming a live kidney donor to her friend, Ray, who had been suffering from polycystic kidney disease for eight years. view more (2008-06-16)
Gamma globulin effective in treating eye infections caused by adenoviruses
Gamma globulin, a type of antibody isolated from blood samples that used to be routinely given to health care workers and international travelers to protect them from infectious diseases, is a highly effective treatment for pinkeye with little apparent toxicity, according to a study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. view more (2007-08-29)
New findings shed light to the mechanisms of Parkinson's disease
The findings of Finnish scientists with their multinational collaborators shed light to the mechanisms of Parkinson's disease and early menopause. view more (2004-09-07)
Milky Way's Giant Black Hole Awoke from Slumber 300 Years Ago
Using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy's central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago. view more (2008-04-16)
