Lisa And The Search For Elusive Gravity Waves
For almost 100 years, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of the existence of gravity waves - faint ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted in Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity.   view more (2005-03-31)

New method to directly probe the quantum collisions of individual atoms
The first demonstration of a fundamentally new method for measuring a particular quantum property of individual atoms will be described in a research paper to be published in the 19 April 2007 edition of the journal Nature.   view more (2007-04-19)

Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over.   view more (2006-11-28)

ESA to look for the missing link in gravity
Although you can never be certain of predicting future developments in science, there is a good chance of a fundamental breakthrough in physics soon. With a series of unique experiments and missions designed to test our understanding of gravity, the European Space Agency (ESA) hopes to get to the... view more (2002-09-11)

Star Tiger to unveil submillimetre wave secrets
The Star Tiger team today begins a four-month pioneering research and development project at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL), which could lead to a real breakthrough for submillimetre wave imaging. For the first time under the ESA Star Tiger initiative, eleven scientists and specialists... view more (2002-06-05)

Media briefing: Research on New Energies - Europe at the Forefront in Solar, Wave and Geothermal Energies
The European Union has the objective to double the share of renewable electricity to 12% by 2010. This one-day briefing will demonstrate Europe's leadership in developing and implementing ground-breaking research and technology transfers in solar, wave, and geothermal sustainable energies. On 16th... view more (2004-02-04)

New clues about the Earth's movements
Synchrotron light has just revealed new clues about how the Earth moves. A team of scientists (Dubrovinsky et al) from four different countries and different fields of expertise have come to the ESRF to study materials submitted to extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, similar to those... view more (2003-03-07)

Hubble sees the graceful dance of 2 interacting galaxies
A pair of galaxies, known collectively as Arp 87, is one of hundreds of interacting and merging galaxies known in our nearby Universe. Arp 87 was originally discovered and catalogued by astronomer Halton Arp in the 1970s. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies is a compilation of astronomical photographs... view more (2007-10-31)

A scientific first: A supernova explosion is observed in real time
An ordinary observation with NASA's Swift research satellite recently led to the first real-time sighting of a star in the process of exploding. Astronomers have surveyed thousands of these supernova explosions in the past, but their observations have always begun some time after the main event is... view more (2008-05-22)

Scientists report study results from 'stealth' tsunami that killed 600 in Java last summer
Though categorized as magnitude 7.8, the earthquake could scarcely be felt by beachgoers that afternoon. A low tide and wind-driven waves disguised the signs of receding water, so when the tsunami struck, it caught even lifeguards by surprise.   view more (2007-06-19)

German Government funds digital broadcasting in short, medium and long wave
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (bmb+f) will fund the project Radiomondo. During the next three years developments for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will be supported with 3.9 million Euro. The project consortium consists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits... view more (2002-01-11)

Europe at the forefront in research on solar, wave and geothermal energies
Today at the "Solar platform" test site in Almeria (Spain) the European Commission presented the state of play on its research programmes in alternative energy sources, including solar thermal, wave and geothermal energy. World energy consumption will double over the next 50 years, with... view more (2004-03-17)

Promising new metamaterial could transform ultrasound imaging
Using the same principles that help create a guitar's complex tones, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new material that holds promise for revolutionizing the field of ultrasound imaging.   view more (2006-06-01)

Study shows clumps and streams of dark matter in inner regions of the Milky Way
Using one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to simulate the halo of dark matter that envelopes our galaxy, researchers found dense clumps and streams of the mysterious stuff lurking in the inner regions of the halo, in the same neighborhood as our solar system.   view more (2008-08-07)

Atomic clock signals may be best shared by fiber-optics
Time and frequency information can be transferred between laboratories or to other users in several ways, often using the Global Positioning System (GPS). But today's best atomic clocks are so accurate—neither gaining nor losing one second in as long as 400 million years—that more... view more (2007-03-05)

One gene provides fruit fly both antenna and color vision
A team of researchers that includes biologists from Washington University in St. Louis has discovered that a gene involved in the development and function of the fruit fly antenna also gives the organism its color vision.   view more (2006-04-05)

RIT study predicts how fast a black hole can be booted from a galaxy
Scientists have discovered for the first time just how fast a supermassive black hole can be thrown from a galaxy when it merges with another black hole. The crucial factor in producing large "kicks" turns out to be the spin that the black holes carry prior to the merger.   view more (2007-05-31)

New capture scenario explains origin of Neptune's oddball moon Triton
Neptune's large moon Triton may have abandoned an earlier partner to arrive in its unusual orbit around Neptune.   view more (2006-05-11)

A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket.   view more (2004-09-30)

New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes.   view more (2008-02-13)

Supernova Imposter Goes Supernova
In a galaxy far, far away, a massive star suffered a nasty double whammy. On Oct. 20, 2004, Japanese amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki saw the star let loose an outburst so bright that it was initially mistaken for a supernova. The star survived, but for only two years. On Oct. 11, 2006,... view more (2007-04-05)

Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand.   view more (2007-07-13)

Young Galaxy's Magnetism Surprises Astronomers
Astronomers have made the first direct measurement of the magnetic field in a young, distant galaxy, and the result is a big surprise.   view more (2008-10-02)

Galaxy Zoo -- an Internet superstar
Since Galaxy Zoo's launch in July 2007, some 150,000 members of the public, inspired by the opportunity to be the first to see and classify a galaxy, have helped professional astronomers via this on-line mass-participation project to carry out real scientific research.   view more (2008-09-02)

Stormy Days Ahead for Coral Reefs
