Newborn Black Holes Boost Explosive Power of Supernovae Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 05, 2010 
An international team of scientists, including two astronomers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., have observed a supernova with peculiar radio emission. In the Jan. 28 issue of Nature, the team - led by Zsolt Paragi of the Joint Institute for Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Europe, or JIVE - reveals new details of these highly energetic explosions.

Boulder CO (SPX) Feb 05, 2010Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built an enhanced version of an experimental atomic clock based on a single aluminum atom that is now the world's most precise clock, more than twice as precise as the previous pacesetter based on a mercury atom. The new aluminum clock would neither gain nor lose one second in about 3.7 billion years, according to ... more

Twenty-Fifth Series Of German-Russian Plasma Physics Experiments
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Feb 04, 2010From 27 to 29 January 2010, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov will be running the 25th series of complex plasma physics experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has funded both the development of the experimental equipment and the research itself. For this experiment series, the PK-3 Plus plasma experiment ... more Bubble Physicist Counts Bubbles In The Ocean 
Narragansett RI (SPX) Feb 01, 2010The bubbles in your champagne that appear to jump out of your glass and tickle your nose are exhibiting a behavior quite similar to the tiny bubbles found throughout the world's oceans, according to bubble physicist Helen Czerski. But while the champagne bubbles are likely to raise your spirits, those in the ocean can cause clouds to form and affect the climate. "Bubbles are little p ... more Black Hole Hunters Set New Distance Record 
Paris, France (SPX) Jan 28, 2010Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have detected, in another galaxy, a stellar-mass black hole much farther away than any other previously known. With a mass above fifteen times that of the Sun, this is also the second most massive stellar-mass black hole ever found. It is entwined with a star that will soon become a black hole itself. The stellar-mass black holes [1] found in th ... more University Of Leicester Celebrates 50 Years Of Space Research 
Leicester, UK (SPX) Jan 15, 2010In 2010, the University of Leicester marks 50 years of space science with a host of activities celebrating the world-class achievements of the University in space research-and paying tribute to the man who launched Leicester's space programme, Professor Ken Pounds CBE FRS. Professor Ken Pounds, a UK pioneer of space science, was among the founders of the space programme at the University ... more |

Massive Black Hole Implicated In Stellar Destruction
Boston, MA (SPX) Jan 05, 2010New results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Magellan telescopes suggest that a dense stellar remnant has been ripped apart by a black hole a thousand times as massive as the Sun. If confirmed, this discovery would be a cosmic double play: it would be strong evidence for an intermediate mass black hole, which has been a hotly debated topic, and would mark the first time such a ... more Four PTB Primary Atomic Clocks Will Contribute To UTC 
Bundesanstalt, Germany (SPX) Jan 04, 2010The world's best caesium atomic clocks control Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), an atomic time scale on which the time zones used in everyday life are based. But also in navigation (GPS), astronomy, telecommunications, geodesy and physical fundamental research, accurate timing is of essential importance. Until recently, three of PTB's clocks belonged to the exclusive club of primary caesium ato ... more You couldn't make it up: offbeat stories from 2009
Paris (AFP) Dec 28, 2009Weird, wild and wonderful stories from 2009: - Anti-corruption officials in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu found a way to literally stop airport workers from pocketing bribes. They issued them with pocketless trousers. - A Norwegian man landed himself in hot water when police caught him having sex with his girlfriend as he raced at over 130 kilometres (80 miles) an hour through a 100km/h ... more Events that marked the start of the 21st century
