High Energy Mystery lurks at the Galactic Centre
A mystery lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy - an object radiating high-energy gamma rays - has been detected by an international team of astronomers. Their research, published today (September 22nd) in the Journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, was carried out using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), an array of four... view more...

Indoor Air Pollution Increases Asthma Symptoms
A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University found an association between increasing levels of indoor particulate matter pollution and the severity of asthma symptoms among children. view more (2009-02-19)
Mystery of missing hydrogen
Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the Universe: hydrogen - the raw material for stars, planets and possible life. view more (2008-11-24)
European Masterclasses on Physics: research centres opened for 3000 high school students
On occasion of the World Year Physics, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is participating from March 7th to 19th in the Physics European Masterclasses. An Epog (European Particle-Physics Outreach Group) initiative that opens high school students the doors of the fascinating world of particle physics. view more (2005-03-04)
ESA's XMM-Newton gains deep insights into the distant Universe
Using XMM-Newton, astronomers have obtained the world's deepest 'wide screen' X-ray image of the cosmos to date. Their observations show newly discovered clusters of galaxies and provide insights into the structure of the distant Universe"¦ Unlike grains of sand on a beach, matter is not uniformly spread throughout the Universe. Instead, it... view more... (2003-07-14)
Heavy marijuana use may damage developing brain in teens, young adults
Adolescents and young adults who are heavy users of marijuana are more likely than non-users to have disrupted brain development, according to a new study. view more (2009-02-03)
Sewage Sludge Digestion: Less sewage residues, more energy
On behalf of the Abwasserzweckverband Heidelberg (Association for Sewage), the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) in April of last year added a high-rate stage to the Heidelberg municipal sewage plant. The aim was to increase the economy of the digestion without putting the disposal line out of operation. The... view more... (2002-08-30)
Streamlining brain signals for speed and efficacy
Life exists at the edge of chaos, where small changes can have striking and unanticipated effects, and major stimuli may go unheard. view more (2008-10-23)
New analysis puts dark matter back into elliptical galaxies
According to the prevailing "cold dark matter" theory of the evolution of the universe, every galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that can only be detected indirectly by observing its gravitational effects. view more (2005-09-29)
The secret life of galaxies
Looking up at the night sky you could be forgiven for believing that the sedate progress of the stars across the firmament belies the serene nature of galaxies. But a closer look at our celestial neighbours reveals that the reality is very different. view more (2008-01-11)
Simply weird stuff: Making supersolids with ultracold gas atoms
Physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have proposed a recipe for turning ultracold "boson" atoms-the ingredients of Bose-Einstein condensates-into a "supersolid," an exotic state of matter that behaves simultaneously as a solid... view more...

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 foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a... view more... (2008-01-11)
MIT reveals superconducting surprise
MIT physicists have taken a step toward understanding the puzzling nature of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures well above absolute zero. view more (2008-02-13)
Ultracold atoms produce long-sought quantum mix
In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny speck of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color. view more (2006-03-15)
Old galaxies stick together in the young universe
UK astronomers have developed the most sensitive infrared map of the distant universe ever produced, revealing the origins of the most massive galaxies in the cosmos. view more (2008-04-07)
University of Nevada, Reno researcher uses 100,000 degree heat to study plasma
Using one of the greatest sources of radiation energy created by man, University of Nevada, Reno researcher and faculty member Roberto Mancini is studying ultra-high temperature and non-equilibrium plasmas to mimic what happens to matter in accretion disks around black holes. view more (2009-09-03)
Linking With The Future
Exploring and using space is the biggest adventure facing mankind. Finding innovative ways for ESA to continue doing this is the role of the Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) at ESA's European Space Technology Research Centre (ESTEC). It is their job to look into the future and identify ideas which could enable missions that currently sound like... view more... (2004-07-08)
Chemical levels in indoor UK swimming pools cause for concern
Levels of the by-products of chlorination are relatively high in indoor UK swimming pools, finds research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Some research has suggested that these by-products may be harmful to the developing foetus and may cause miscarriage. view more (2002-04-02)
Neutron stars can be more massive, while black holes are more rare, Arecibo Observatory finds
Neutron stars and black holes aren't all they've been thought to be. In fact, neutron stars can be considerably more massive than previously believed, and it is more difficult to form black holes, according to new research developed by using the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. view more (2008-01-15)
First view of a newborn millisecond pulsar?
Combining Hubble Space Telescope images with radio observations has revealed a highly unusual system consisting of a fast spinning pulsar and a bloated red companion star. The existence of the system is something of a mystery - the best explanation so far is that we have our first view of a millisecond pulsar just after it has been `spun up` by... view more...
