Scientists snap images of first brown dwarf in planetary system
Scientists using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered and directly imaged a small brown dwarf star, 50 times the mass of Jupiter, orbiting with a planet around a Sun-like star. view more (2006-09-19)
The Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) opens an antenna in Grenoble
One of the main institutional functions of the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) is the promotion of the access and participation of scientists, young researchers and technicians in international projects and laboratories. view more (1999-12-01)
The Glory of a Nearby Star
Optical Light from a Hot Stellar Corona Detected with the VLT The solar corona is a beautiful sight during total solar eclipses. It is the uppermost region of the extended solar atmosphere and consists of a very hot (over 1 million degrees), tenuous plasma of highly ionised elements that emit strong X-ray radiation. There is also a much weaker... view more... (2001-07-31)
Neutron researchers discover widely sought property in magnetic semiconductor
Researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated for the first time the existence of a key magnetic-as opposed to electronic-property of specially built semiconductor devices. view more (2008-11-26)

Largest collection of anomalous white dwarfs observed in new Hubble images
Twenty-four unusual stars, 18 of them newly discovered, have been observed in new Hubble telescope images. The stars are white dwarfs, a common type of dead star, but they are odd because they are made of helium rather than the usual carbon and oxygen. This is the first extensive sequence of helium-core white dwarfs to be observed in a globular... view more... (2009-04-23)
New insight in star formation
Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular cloud. Thanks to their unprecedented high-resolution maps of the circumstellar environment of many young stellar objects, astronomers... view more... (2001-01-16)
New detector will aid dark matter search
Several research projects are underway to try to detect particles that may make up the mysterious "dark matter" believed to dominate the universe's mass. view more (2008-12-12)
Elevated Water Temperature and Acidity Boost Growth of Key Sea Star Species, UBC Researchers
New research by UBC zoologists indicates that elevated water temperatures and heightened concentrations of carbon dioxide can dramatically increase the growth rate of a keystone species of sea star. view more (2009-06-02)
ESA Director General Salutes China's First Human Space Flight
"Our warmest congratulations to the People's Republic of China on this outstanding achievement" said ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain soon after the successful Shenzou launch. "China becomes the third country to send human beings into space, demonstrating the reliability of its aerospace technology. This mission could open up a new... view more... (2003-10-15)
Space is dusty, and now astronomers know why
Massive star supernovae have been major "dust factories" ever since the first generations of stars formed several hundred million years after the Big Bang, according to an international study published in Science Express today. view more (2006-06-09)
Large-scale cousin of elusive 'magnetic monopoles' found at NIST
Any child can tell you that a magnet has a "north" and a "south" pole, and that if you break it into two pieces, you invariably get two smaller magnets with two poles of their own. But scientists have spent the better part of the last eight decades trying to find, in essence, a magnet with only one pole. view more (2009-10-07)
Search for Sirius companions
Many direct or indirect observations have suggested the existence of a second companion (in addition of the white dwarf Sirius-B) around the brilliant star Sirius-A. The presence of a second faint star could in particular explain a change of color of Sirius, as suggested by historical texts. A team of astronomers of the CEA (Service of... view more...

Study: Sea stars bulk up to beat the heat
A new study finds that a species of sea star stays cool using a strategy never before seen in the animal kingdom. The sea stars soak up cold sea water into their bodies during high tide as buffer against potentially damaging temperatures brought about by direct sunlight at low tide. view more (2009-11-18)
XMM-Newton reveals a magnetic surprise
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed evidence for a magnetic field in space where astronomers never expected to find one. The magnetic field surrounds a young star called AB Aurigae and provides a possible solution to a twenty-year-old puzzle. view more (2007-02-23)
NIST's new advanced imaging facility peers inside hydrogen fuel cells
Thanks to a new and improved imaging instrument at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), scientists now can conduct detailed surveillance on the comings and goings of water inside hydrogen fuel cells-a piece of intelligence key to making the technology practical for powering future automobiles. view more (2006-08-21)
Christmas Star Does the Twist!
STRICT EMBARGO - 0001 HRS, MONDAY 10 DECEMBER 2001 A team of Scottish and French astronomers have discovered a festive star that does the twist. Discovered by astronomers from the University of St Andrews and the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees, Toulouse during Christmas observations in Australia, the new phenomenon of twisting behaviour demonstrates a... view more...

NASA's Swift satellite catches first 'normal' supernova in the act of exploding
Thanks to a fortunate observation with NASA's Swift satellite, astronomers, for the first time, have caught a normal supernova at the moment of its birth--the first instant when an exploding star begins spewing its energy into space, transforming into a supernova that during its brief lifetime will shine brighter than billions of stars combined. view more (2008-05-22)
Unveiling the true face of a gigantic star
An international team of astronomers, led by Keiichi Ohnaka at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn, has made the most high resolution images of a dying giant star to date. view more (2009-08-07)
Dartmouth researchers part of the team to discover similar planetary system to our solar system
Two Dartmouth researchers are part of the team that has discovered a planetary system where the two largest planets are very similar to Jupiter and Saturn, in terms of mass and distance from their host star. view more (2008-02-15)
