The dark matter of the universe has a long lifetime
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute presents new information that adds another piece of knowledge to the jigsaw puzzle of the dark mystery of the universe - dark matter. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters.   view more (2007-10-02)

Full 3-D image of nanocrystals' interior created by shining X-rays through them
A vital step towards the ultimate goal of being able to take 'photographs' of individual molecules in action has been achieved by an international team led by UCL (University College London) researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology.   view more (2006-07-06)

UK study quantifies cancer risk from diagnostic X-rays (pp 340, 345)
The most detailed calculation of its kind to estimate the risk of cancer from exposure to diagnostic X-rays is published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. It suggests that in the UK around 700 of the 124,000 cases of cancer diagnosed annually could be attributable to exposure to diagnostic... view more (2004-01-28)

Screening chest x-ray detects early-stage lung cancers at high rates, study results show
Almost half of lung cancers detected by a chest x-ray were early-stage cancers, according to baseline results of a large, randomized clinical trial that is testing the efficacy of a chest x-ray as a screening test for lung cancer.   view more (2005-12-21)

Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer.   view more (2007-11-27)

German Science Council Recommends International Accelerator Project TESLA
The German Science Council, an agency of the German government, assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to, be worthy of support under certain conditions. The assessments of nine appraised large scale facilities for basic research in... view more (2002-11-18)

Non-Destructive Residual Stress Analysis
Every manufacturing process, from casting and forging, to machining and finishing, induces residual stresses in components. For critical components, such as aircraft wings and turbine blades, these stresses affect the durability and lifetime of the structures and assemblies. Current methods are... view more (2004-03-11)

Countdown to the launch of Swift   view more (2004-10-18)

Doctors commonly fail to detect lung cancer on chest x-ray films
Failure to detect lung cancer on chest x-rays is not uncommon, reveals research in Postgraduate Medical Journal. The ensuing delay in diagnosis and the start of treatment may contribute to some of the lowest survival rates in Europe for the disease, say the authors.   view more (2002-03-04)

ESA steps towards a great black hole census
Astronomers using ESA's orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, have taken an important step towards estimating how many black holes there are in the Universe.   view more (2006-09-08)

A first experiment with the new "free-electron laser"
An international group of scientists has published first experiments carried out using the new soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) at the research center DESY (Nature, vol 420, p 482-485 and p 467). Using small clusters of noble gas atoms, for the first time, researchers studied the interaction of... view more (2002-12-05)

Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe.   view more (2006-03-31)

Where are the supermassive black holes hiding?
European and American scientists, on a quest to find super-massive black holes hiding in nearby galaxies, have found surprisingly few. Either the black holes are better hidden than scientists realised or they are lurking only in the more distant universe.   view more (2006-07-27)

A Stellar Explosion You Could See on Earth!
Astronomers are familiar with seeing amazing things through their telescopes. But nothing prepared them for an incredible explosion detected early Wednesday morning by NASA's Swift satellite. At 2:12 a.m. EDT, Swift detected an explosion from deep space that was so powerful that its afterglow was... view more (2008-03-24)

Supernova radiation simulated in Virtual Reality
To astrophysicists, the energy-charged x-ray radiation on the fringes of a supernova explosion has long been enigmatic. It hasn't been possible to explain how the electrons are able to accelerate to nearly the speed of light. Now scientists in England and in Linköping, Sweden, have hit upon a... view more (2001-12-20)

Chest X-ray exposure may increase likelihood of breast cancer
An analysis of 1,600 women with BRCA 1/2 mutations suggests that exposure to chest X-rays may increase the risk of breast cancer, and that exposure before the age of 20 may be linked to particularly heightened risk.   view more (2006-06-27)

Science with Integral -- 5 years on
With eyes that peer into the most energetic phenomena in the universe, ESA's Integral has been setting records, discovering the unexpected and helping understanding the unknown over its first five years.   view more (2007-10-18)

Integral - tracking extreme radiation across the Universe
The world`s most advanced gamma-ray space telescope Integral [International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory] was successfully launched today [17 October 2002] from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. Integral will provide first-hand observations of cosmic objects that release some of the most... view more (2002-10-11)

X-Rays Examine Colliding Galaxies
Galaxies were once thought of as `island universes` evolving slowly in complete isolation. This is now known not to be the case. By using the world`s most powerful X-ray observatories, UK astronomers are discovering that most of these gigantic star systems interact with each other in a wide variety... view more (2002-04-07)

Chandra looks back at the Earth
In an unusual observation, a team of scientists has scanned the northern polar region of Earth with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.   view more (2005-12-30)

X-rays provide a new way to investigate exploding stars
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed a new class of exploding stars - where the X-ray emission 'lives fast and dies young'.   view more (2007-05-10)

Argonne scientists use lasers to align molecules
Protein crystallographers have only scratched the surface of the human proteins important for drug interactions because of difficulties crystallizing the molecules for synchrotron x-ray diffraction.   view more (2008-05-14)

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)

UI researchers discover star orbiting a 'medium-sized' black hole
University of Iowa researchers have found a star orbiting a "medium-sized" black hole - about 1,000 times more massive than the sun - in the nearby starburst galaxy M82, a development that may help explain how medium-sized black holes form and evolve.   view more (2006-01-06)

Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator.   view more (2005-12-14)
