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)
The quiet explosion
A European-led team of astronomers are providing hints that a recent supernova may not be as normal as initially thought. Instead, the star that exploded is now understood to have collapsed into a black hole, producing a weak jet, typical of much more violent events, the so-called gamma-ray bursts. view more (2008-07-25)
Astronomers discover new kind of black-hole explosion
Scientists have discovered what appears to be a new kind of cosmic explosion - a "hybrid gamma-ray burst" - which will be the subject of four articles to be published in the journal Nature on 21 December 2006. view more (2006-12-21)
A Hungry Quasar Caught in the Act
The VLT Secures Spectacular Image of Distant Gravitational Interaction A new image of a distant quasar (the luminous core of an "active" galaxy) shows that it is engaged in a gravitational battle with its neighbouring galaxies. It also provides information on how supermassive black holes present in the center of quasars are fed. Using the FORS2... view more... (2001-05-31)
Searching the heavens
A new space mission, due to launch this month, is going to shed light on some of the most extreme astrophysical processes in nature - including pulsars, remnants of supernovae, and supermassive black holes. view more (2008-05-01)
'Beyond Einstein' research should begin with mission to study dark energy
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy should pursue the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) as the first mission in the "Beyond Einstein" program, according to a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2007-09-07)
Pushing black-led arts into the spotlight
Propelling black performers from the sidelines into the mainstream is the mission of Push, a black-led, multidisciplinary arts organisation based in London. With a Fellowship of £74,820 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - which backs UK innovation - Push will build on their considerable successes in... view more...

Quasars help trace ancestors of giant elliptical galaxies
By using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as a `time machine`, astronomers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford in the UK and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore in the USA have been able to trace back the history of massive elliptical galaxies. They have found that galaxies of this kind, which still exist today,... view more... (2002-04-04)
NASA's AURA satellite peers into Earth's ozone hole
NASA researchers, using data from the agency's AURA satellite, determined the seasonal ozone hole that developed over Antarctica this year is smaller than in previous years. view more (2005-12-07)
Black women have urinary incontinence less than half as often as white women
The good news for black women: They have less than half the chance of developing urinary incontinence as do white women, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Health System. view more (2008-04-23)
Mysterious energy burst stuns astronomers
In a shock finding, astronomers using CSIRO's Parkes telescope have detected a huge burst of radio energy from the distant universe that could open up a new field in astrophysics. view more (2007-09-28)
Precise measurement of phenomenon advances solar cell understanding
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have shed light on a basic process that could improve future solar cells. view more (2008-11-19)
Scientists piece together the most distant cosmic explosion
In this week's issue of Nature, scientists at Penn State University and their U.S. and European colleagues discuss how this explosion, detected on 4 September 2005, was the result of a massive star collapsing into a black hole. view more (2006-03-09)
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)
Black Americans Are At Greater Risk for Colon Polyps
Black Americans have a higher occurrence of colon polyps, according to a new study. This is a significant finding considering the incidence of colon cancer among black men has increased and remained unchanged among black women during the last 20 years.

Chemopreventive agents in black raspberries identified
A study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, identifies components of black raspberries with chemopreventive potential. view more (2009-01-08)
Global warming predictions are overestimated, suggests study on black carbon
A detailed analysis of black carbon -- the residue of burned organic matter -- in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions. view more (2008-11-20)
Redressing the ethnic imbalance in the classroom
Nearly 13 percent of schoolchildren in England are from black and ethnic minority backgrounds, yet 95% of those employed to teach them are white. The TC21 project, managed by Sudha Raghavan in the school of education, is trying to recruit more people from ethnic minorities onto teacher training courses across the region, to try to redress this... view more...

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)
Risk of birth complications varies between racial groups
Babies born to South Asian women are at a higher risk of perinatal mortality (death before, during or shortly after birth) than babies born to black or white women, concludes a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2007-03-02)
