Black Holes Produce The Most Energetic Cosmic Radiation Washington DC (SPX) Nov 05, 2009 
Blasts of radiation brighter than a trillion suns. Charged particles with the energy of a well-thrown baseball. Jets of magnetized plasma streaming across intergalactic space. What do these have in common? Their energy is derived from black holes. Today, at the 2009 Fermi Symposium in Washington, DC, Charles Dermer, an astrophysicist in the Space Science Division of the Naval Research ... read moreNobel Prize Winner Explains Big Bang 
Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) Oct 29, 2009The first of a series of lectures to be delivered by the world's topmost scientists, a new Internet project of Dmitry Zimin's Dynasty Foundation and RIA Novosti, has been shown. The lectures are part of the ongoing project, Science without Borders, organized by the Dynasty Foundation and RIA Novosti's Mosaics of Knowledge club. The first lecturer was Nobel Laureate Dr. John Mather. ... more

UK Science Benefits From High Performance Computing Investment
London, UK (SPX) Oct 22, 2009The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has received Pounds 12.32 million, from the Government's Large Facilities Capital Fund, to invest in new hardware for the UK's High Performance Computing Consortia (HPC) - providing UK particle physicists and astronomers with upgraded HPC technology to address some of the most challenging scientific problems. The new funding will allow ... more Scientists Use Supercomputers To 'See' Black Holes 
Rochester NY (SPX) Oct 21, 2009Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology have won several grants to further extend their own supercomputer and make use of two of the fastest supercomputers in the world in their quest to "shine light" on black holes. Since light cannot escape from the surface of a black hole, scientists rely upon computer algorithms to study the massive dark objects. Researchers in the Center for ... more Giant Ribbon Discovered At Edge Of Solar System 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Oct 20, 2009For years, researchers have known that the solar system is surrounded by a vast bubble of magnetism. Called the "heliosphere," it springs from the sun and extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, providing a first line of defense against cosmic rays and interstellar clouds that try to enter our local space. Although the heliosphere is huge and literally fills the sky, it emits no light and ... more NSF Contributes To World's Deepest Underground Lab 
Berkeley CA (SPX) Oct 19, 2009The National Science Foundation (NSF) has authorized more than $29 million for the University of California, Berkeley, to create a preliminary plan for turning a former gold mine in South Dakota into the world's deepest laboratory. The grant, approved Sept. 24 by the National Science Board, is for a preliminary design of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) ... more |

Honey, I Blew Up The Tokamak
Huntsville AL (SPX) Sep 01, 2009Magnetic reconnection could be the Universe's favorite way to make things explode. It operates anywhere magnetic fields pervade space--which is to say almost everywhere. On the sun magnetic reconnection causes solar flares as powerful as a billion atomic bombs. In Earth's atmosphere, it fuels magnetic storms and auroras. In laboratories, it can cause big problems in fusion reactors. It's ... more Rewriting General Relativity 
Washington DC (SPX) Aug 25, 2009Does an exciting but controversial new model of quantum gravity reproduce Einstein's theory of general relativity? Scientists at Texas A and M University in the US explore this question in a paper appearing in Physical Review Letters and highlighted with a Viewpoint in the August 24th issue of Physics. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," sums up fairly well how many scientists have viewed ... more Dartmouth Researchers Propose New Way To Reproduce A Black Hole 
Hanover NH (SPX) Aug 24, 2009Despite their popularity in the science fiction genre, there is much to be learned about black holes, the mysterious regions in space once thought to be absent of light. In a paper published in the Physical Review Letters, the flagship journal of the American Physical Society, Dartmouth researchers propose a new way of creating a reproduction black hole in the laboratory on a much-tinier scale ... more Major Advance Made In Understanding The Birth And Early Evolution Of The Universe 
London UK (SPX) Aug 21, 2009A significant advance in our understanding of the early evolution of the universe has been achieved by a team of scientists associated with the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration. The team's results will appear in the journal Nature. The gravitational-wave scientists, including Lee Samuel Finn, a Penn State ... more |
