Twin Star Explosions Fascinate Astronomers
Scientists using NASA's Swift satellite stumbled upon a rare sight, two supernovas side by side in one galaxy.   view more (2006-11-21)

Astronomers find first ever gamma ray clock
Astronomers using the H.E.S.S. telescopes have discovered the first ever modulated signal from space in Very High Energy Gamma Rays - the most energetic such signal ever observed.   view more (2006-11-28)

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 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... view more (2001-07-31)

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... view more (2001-01-16)

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)

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... view more (2003-10-15)

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)

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)

Media Invitation: 20 years of excellence - Catch-up on the latest news from ISIS and tour the facility
ISIS celebrates 20 years of excellence   view more (2004-12-06)

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... view more (2000-11-24)

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)

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... view more (2001-12-07)

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... view more (2008-05-22)

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... view more (2006-08-21)

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)

Surprising telescope observations shake up galactic formation theories
A heavy form of hydrogen created just moments after the Big Bang has been found to exist in larger quantities than expected in the Milky Way, a finding that could radically alter theories about star and galaxy formation, says a new international study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder.   view more (2006-08-15)

NASA Scientists Detect Spectrum of Planets Orbiting Other Stars
For the first time, scientists at Goddard have obtained a spectrum, or molecular fingerprint, of a planet orbiting another star. Using spectroscopy, scientists were able to identify silicon dust in clouds on a gas-giant planet called HD 209458b. That planet is located 150 light years from Earth.   view more (2007-02-23)

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... view more (2006-03-03)

Gas giants jump into planet formation early
Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope show that gas giants either form within the first 10 million years of a sun-like star's life, or not at all.   view more (2007-01-09)

Details of solar particles penetrating the Earth's environment revealed
Co-ordinated efforts by China/ESA's Double Star and ESA's Cluster spacecraft have allowed scientists to zero in on an area where energetic particles from the Sun are blasting their way through the Earth's magnetic shield.   view more (2006-10-04)

Astronomers see faintest stars in a globular cluster
Astronomers report in the Aug. 18 issue of the journal Science seeing the faintest stars ever seen in any globular star cluster. The light from these dim stars is only as bright as the light produced by a birthday candle on the moon, as seen from Earth. The astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space... view more (2006-08-21)

Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and... view more (2004-03-18)

Exploding star takes astronomers by surprise
A partially exploding star, known as a nova, has recovered more quickly than expected, say scientists who have analysed new data from the ESA`s XMM-Newton X-ray satellite. Nova explosions are not completely destructive phenomena. In fact, after an explosion occurs, the star recovers and starts... view more (2002-10-11)

Structure of liquid alumina determined for first time
The structure of liquid alumina has been determined for the very first time by scientists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). At over two thousand degrees, this is the hottest liquid to reveal where its atoms are to be found (Physical Review Letters, Volume 86, Number 21, May 2001). The... view more (2001-05-31)
