Colossal Black Holes Common in the Early Universe
Astronomers think that many - perhaps all - galaxies in the universe contain massive black holes at their centers. New observations with the Submillimeter Array now suggest that such colossal black holes were common even 12 billion years ago, when the universe was only 1.7 billion years old and galaxies were just beginning to form. view more (2008-10-17)
Astronomers shed surprising light on our galaxy's black hole
In the most comprehensive study of Sagittarius A (Sgr A), the enigmatic supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, astronomers - using nine ground and space-based telescopes including the Hubble Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory - have discovered that Sgr A* produces rapid flares close to the... view more...

Peering deep into space
People have always wondered where we, our Earth, our galaxy, come from. A group of scientist has now driven that quest one step further and taken a peak at how the stars that gave rise to most of the material found on our universe formed over cosmic history. view more (2009-05-28)
ESF and Science launch new website for career development
Thanks to financial support from the ESF, scientists in 27 European countries will now be able to access Next Wave Europe, a new website offering online career development and information resources for PhD and postdoctoral researchers on the European continent. Next Wave Europe (http://www.nextwave.org/europe/) will roll out to an entire... view more... (2002-05-13)
Mind the gap: Space scientists uncover causes of gap in Van Allen belts
A team of British and US scientists have discovered that the gap in the Van Allen radiation belts is formed by natural wave turbulence in space, not by lightning. view more (2006-09-27)
Renewable Energy Reviewed by Chemistry & Industry - Special Issue Considers the Future of Power
Coinciding with the UK government’s energy review, the latest issue of Chemistry & Industry magazine (18 February 2002) evaluates the current and future status of renewable energy. Wind, landfill gas, biomass, solar, wave energy and fuel cells are covered. view more (2002-02-14)
Dissertation work on leading wave power
A technology that is adapted to the special conditions for wave energy places the wave energy technology from Uppsala on the absolute cutting edge in the world. view more (2008-12-09)
Barnacles go to great lengths to mate
Compelled to mate, yet firmly attached to the rock, barnacles have evolved the longest penis of any animal for their size - up to 8 times their body length - so they can find and fertilize distant neighbours. view more (2008-02-07)

Press Conference: Digital Radio Mondiale To Reveal Latest Progress Toward Digital AM
As its launch date draws closer, Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will reveal its latest technical progress toward digital AM in a bilingual press conference (German/English) at IFA 2001 on Monday, August 27th. The event will feature DRM Chairman (and Deutsche Welle Chief Engineer) Peter Senger, DRM Director of Press & Communications Siriol Evans,... view more... (2001-08-23)
Ancient neutrinos could put string theory and quantum loop gravity to the test
Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales. view more (2005-10-14)
Mathematicians provide new insight into tsunamis
A new mathematical formula that could be used to give advance warning of where a tsunami is likely to hit and how destructive it will be has been worked out by scientists at Newcastle University. view more (2009-04-01)
Unique Coastal Defence Research
'We will be comparing the 3D beach evolution and sediment transport in the CRF model with measurements made on the Sussex coast at Elmer, on which the model is based,' explains Dr Chadwick, Reader in Coastal Engineering. 'The CRF data will also be compared against calculations of beach evolution and sediment transport derived from numerical... view more... (1998-12-23)
New Technology Could Transform Every Train into A High Speed Cracked Rail Detector
Researchers in the University of Warwick's Department of Physics have developed a novel non-contact method of using ultrasound to detect and measure cracks and flaws in rail track - particularly gauge corner cracking - that has the potential to simply be attached to a normal passenger or freight train travelling at high speeds. Current ultrasonic... view more... (2004-07-05)
First Results from Penn's Balloon-Borne Telescope BLAST: Extragalactic Survey Reveals Half the Universe's Starlight
After two years spent analyzing data from BLAST, the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope, physicists are releasing the first results. view more (2009-04-10)
Rubber 'snake' could help wave power get a bite of the energy market
A device consisting of a giant rubber tube may hold the key to producing affordable electricity from the energy in sea waves. view more (2008-07-07)

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)
APEX reveals glowing stellar nurseries
Illustrating the power of submillimetre-wavelength astronomy, an APEX image reveals how an expanding bubble of ionised gas about ten light-years across is causing the surrounding material to collapse into dense clumps that are the birthplaces of new stars. Submillimetre light is the key to revealing some of the coldest material in the Universe,... view more... (2008-11-12)
