MU Physicist Says Testing Technique for Gravitomagnetic Field is Ineffective
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has fascinated physicists and generated debate about the origin of the universe and the structure of objects like black holes and complex stars called quasars.   view more (2007-06-04)

Durham team discover a cosmic flow of galaxies across one billion light years of the universe
They have discovered that the distribution of dark matter is far less smooth than has been predicted by theorists, and that the Milky Way is among a flow of galaxies moving together in the direction of the constellation Vela in the southern hemisphere.   view more (1999-01-29)

Coral reefs are increasingly vulnerable to angry oceans
Size and shape may predict the survival of corals around the world when the weather churns the oceans in the years to come, according to a new model that relies on engineering principles.   view more (2006-11-27)

Scientists identify origin of hiss in upper atmosphere
Scientists have solved a 40-year-old puzzle by identifying the origin of the intense radio waves in the Earth's upper atmosphere that control the dynamics of the Van Allen radiation belts - belts consisting of high-energy electrons that can damage satellites and spacecraft and pose a risk to... view more (2008-03-06)

Astronomers find triple interactions of supermassive black holes to be common in early universe
New cosmological computer simulations produced by a team of astronomers from Northwestern University, Harvard University and the University of Michigan show for the first time that supermassive black holes (SMBHs), which exist at the centers of nearly all galaxies, often come together during triple... view more (2007-01-09)

1843 stellar eruption may be new type of star explosion
Eta Carinae, the galaxy's biggest, brightest and perhaps most studied star after the sun, has been keeping a secret: Its giant outbursts appear to be driven by an entirely new type of stellar explosion that is fainter than a typical supernova and does not destroy the star.   view more (2008-09-11)

Planets like earth may have formed around other stars, UCLA astronomers report
The chemical fingerprint of a burned-out star indicates that Earth-like planets may not be rare in the universe and could give clues to what our solar system will look like when our sun dies and becomes a white dwarf star some five billion years from now.   view more (2007-08-20)

'Beyond Einstein' research should begin with mission to study dark energy
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy should pursue the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) as the first mission in the "Beyond Einstein" program, according to a new report from the National Research Council.   view more (2007-09-07)

ESC Congress 2003: 6 months result of a non-polymeric paclitaxel eluting stent in high-risk lesions
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Hot Line II -... view more (2003-09-01)

Focusing ultrasound in the skull holds promise for brain tumour treatments
A new, reliable way of focusing ultrasound waves inside the human skull that could enable tumours deep inside the brain to be eradicated is described in a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology.   view more (2002-04-02)

The violent lives of galaxies: Caught in the cosmic matter web
Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to dissect one of the largest structures in the Universe as part of a quest to understand the violent lives of galaxies. Hubble is providing indirect evidence of unseen dark matter tugging on galaxies in the crowded, rough-and-tumble... view more (2008-01-11)

New virtual telescope zooms in on Milky Way's super-massive black hole
An international team, led by astronomers at the MIT Haystack Observatory, has obtained the closest views ever of what is believed to be a super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.   view more (2008-09-04)

Hubble finds double Einstein ring
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a... view more (2008-01-11)

NIST atom interferometry displays new quantum tricks
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a novel way of making atoms interfere with each other, recreating a famous experiment originally done with light while also making the atoms do things that light just won't do.   view more (2007-05-29)

Gravity detector spots underground hideaways
A new way of detecting underground bunkers or hideaways - called gravity gradiometry - is announced today in the Institute of Physics journal, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics. Gravity gradiometry detects differences in the Earth's gravitational attraction caused by hollows in the ground where... view more (2001-01-25)

Modelling To Develop European Sand Dredging Guidelines
Computer predictions of the effects of commercial sea-sand dredging on coastal erosion, produced by an international team headed by Dr Alan Davies of the University of Wales, Bangor`s School of Ocean Sciences, will play a key role in developing new European Guidelines for siting commercial sand... view more (2002-08-07)

Wanted: innovative minds for Star Tiger
ESA is looking for 10 scientists to participate in Star Tiger, a new approach for conducting research and development (R&D) which aims to achieve a quantum increase in a promising technology within a short period of time. Bring together a small group of highly motivated researchers, grant them... view more (2002-04-02)

Astronomers discover largest-ever dark matter structures spanning 270M light-years
A University of British Columbia astronomer with an international team has discovered the largest structures of dark matter ever seen. Measuring 270 million light-years across, these dark matter structures criss-cross the night sky, each spanning an area that is eight times larger than the full... view more (2008-02-22)

25 Seconds for Bucharest
The value of EWS for hazards with long warning times such as tsunamis, volcanic activities, tornadoes is undisputed. In case of earthquakes, warning times are fairly small, ranging from seconds to a maximum of about one minute for Mexico City. However, even a small time window can provide... view more (1998-11-11)

Researchers rely on Newton's interference for new experiment
Most people think of Sir Isaac Newton as the father of gravity. But for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Henry Chapman and his colleagues, Newton's "dusty mirror" experiment served as a launching pad for them to keenly watch the X-ray induced explosion of microscopic... view more (2007-08-09)

Galaxy may hold hundreds of rogue black holes
If the latest simulation of what happens when black holes merge is correct, there could be hundreds of rogue black holes, each weighing several thousand times the mass of the sun, roaming around the Milky Way galaxy.   view more (2008-01-10)

Scientists Detect Cosmic 'Dark Flow' Across Billions of Light Years
Using data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), scientists have identified an unexpected motion in distant galaxy clusters. The cause, they suggest, is the gravitational attraction of matter that lies beyond the observable universe.   view more (2008-09-24)

In Unique Stellar Laboratory, Einstein's Theory Passes Strict, New Test
Taking advantage of a unique cosmic configuration, astronomers have measured an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the extremely strong gravity of a pair of superdense neutron stars.
