UC Berkeley astronomers find magnetic Slinky in constellation of Orion
Astronomers announced today (Thursday, Jan. 12) what may be the first discovery of a helical magnetic field in interstellar space, coiled like a snake around a gas cloud in the constellation of Orion. view more (2006-01-13)
Part-time pulsar yields new insight into inner workings of cosmic clocks
Astronomers using the 76-m Lovell radio telescope at the University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory have discovered a very strange pulsar that helps explain how pulsars act as 'cosmic clocks' and confirms theories put forward 37 years ago to explain the way in which pulsars emit their regular beams of radio waves-considered to be one of... view more...

Radio waves 'see' through walls
University of Utah engineers showed that a wireless network of radio transmitters can track people moving behind solid walls. The system could help police, firefighters and others nab intruders, and rescue hostages, fire victims and elderly people who fall in their homes. It also might help retail marketing and border control. view more (2009-10-12)
True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties far superior to most common materials. view more (2008-08-18)
The Wild, Hidden Cousin of SN 1987A
Over a decade after it exploded, one of the nearest supernovae in the last 25 years has been identified. This result was made possible by combining data from the vast online archives from many of the world's premier telescopes. view more (2008-09-26)
More confusion over cellphone safety
UK CONTACT - Claire Bowles, New Scientist Press Office, London: Tel: +44(0)20 7331 2751 or email claire.bowles@rbi.co.uk Written by Duncan Graham-Rowe THE safety of cellphones has been brought into question once again by research that suggests radio waves from the devices could promote the growth of tumours. Paradoxically, the study suggests that... view more... (2002-10-24)
NIST physicists turn to radio dial for finer atomic matchmaking
Investigating mysterious data in ultracold gases of rubidium atoms, scientists at the Joint Quantum Institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland and their collaborators have found that properly tuned radio-frequency waves can influence how much the atoms attract or repel one another, opening... view more...

Scientists discover Mars' atmosphere altered by solar flares
Boston University astronomers announced today the first clear evidence that solar flares change the upper atmosphere of Mars. view more (2006-02-24)
Prototype for long wavelength array sees first light
Astronomers at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have produced the first images of the sky from a prototype of the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), a revolutionary new radio telescope to be constructed in southwestern New Mexico. view more (2007-03-30)
Stengthening the glow of nanotube luminescence
Nanotubes are the poster children of the nanotechnology revolution. These tiny carbon tubes - less than 1/50,000 the diameter of a human hair - possess novel properties that have researchers excitedly exploring dozens of potential applications ranging from transistors to space elevators. view more (2005-11-15)
RFID testbed measures multiple tags at once and rapidly assesses new antenna designs
Researchers have designed a system capable of simultaneously measuring hundreds of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and rapidly testing new RFID tag prototypes. view more (2008-05-06)
Five months and counting: final theoretical exams for Belgian ESA astronaut Frank De Winne
In preparation for his space mission Belgian ESA astronaut Frank De Winne has reached an important milestone. Less than five months before his departure into space he finished his last theoretical exams. He can now apply himself to the final preparations for his mission and the scientific experiments he will carry out on board the International... view more... (2002-06-05)
Blast from the past gives clues about early universe
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope have gained tantalizing insights into the nature of the most distant object ever observed in the Universe -- a gigantic stellar explosion known as a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). view more (2009-10-29)
The impact of its environment on a quantum computer
Scientists have discovered how the performance of a quantum computer can be affected by its surrounding environment. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, will help engineers to better understand how to integrate quantum components into a standard office computer - moving us one step closer to a future of quantum... view more...

Saturn's aurora - not as we thought! Comment from UK scientists
Results which combine data from the joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini Huygens space mission and the Hubble Space Telescope, published in Nature today (17th February 2005), reveal that Saturn's auroras, long thought to be a cross between those of Earth and Jupiter, are in fact different and may even be unique to Saturn. view more (2005-02-17)
Gadonanotubes greatly outperform existing MRI contrast agents
Researchers at Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are at least 40 times more effective than the best in clinical use. view more (2005-08-12)
Penn materials scientist finds plumber's wonderland on graphene
Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania, Sandia National Laboratories and Rice University have demonstrated the formation of interconnected carbon nanostructures on graphene substrate in a simple assembly process that involves heating few-layer graphene sheets to sublimation using electric current that may eventually lead to a new paradigm... view more...

Engineers point way to better use of nanotubes as measuring tips
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications. view more (2005-10-13)
Most Distant Group of Galaxies Known in the Universe
New VLT Discovery Pushes Back the Beginnings Using the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of astronomers from The Netherlands, Germany and the USA [1] have discovered the most distant group of galaxies ever seen, about 13.5 billion light-years away. It has taken the light now recorded by the VLT about nine-tenths of the age of the Universe to... view more... (2002-04-09)
