Light in slow motion
Feb 29, 2012 (SPX)
How long does it take an electron to form a photon? The answer would normally be: so short a time that it cannot be measured. However, the international CERN te...
Scientists score victory over uncertainty in quantum physics measurements
Feb 29, 2012 (SPX)
Most people attempt to reduce the little uncertainties of life by carrying umbrellas on cloudy days, purchasing automobile insurance or hiring inspectors to eva...
XMM-Newton measures the power of black-hole driven outflows in galaxies
Feb 29, 2012 (ESA)
Astronomers using ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory have discovered that ultra-fast outflows are quite common in active galaxies. About 40 per cent of the sour...
Ultra-fast Outflows Help Monster Black Holes Shape Their Galaxies
Feb 29, 2012 (SPX)
A curious correlation between the mass of a galaxy's central black hole and the velocity of stars in a vast, roughly spherical structure known as its bulge has ...
Astrophysicists from Clemson and Europe unmask a black hole
Feb 28, 2012 (SPX)
A study of X-rays emitted a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away has unmasked a stellar mass black hole in Andromeda, a spiral galaxy about 2.6 million light...
Pulsars: The Universe's Gift to Physics
Feb 27, 2012 (SPX)
Pulsars, superdense neutron stars, are perhaps the most extraordinary physics laboratories in the Universe. Research on these extreme and exotic objects already...
Black Hole Came From A Shredded Galaxy
Feb 27, 2012 (SPX)
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a cluster of young, blue stars encircling the first intermediate-mass black hole ever discovered. The...
Fastest wind from stellar mass black hole discovered
Feb 24, 2012 (SPX)
The fastest wind ever discovered blowing off a disk around a stellar-mass black hole has been observed by a team of astronomers that includes a University of Mi...
Star Cluster Surrounds Wayward Black Hole in Cannibal Galaxy
Feb 22, 2012 (SPX)
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope may have found evidence for a cluster of young, blue stars encircling one of the first intermediate-mass black h...
NASA's Chandra Finds Fastest Wind From Stellar-Mass Black Hole
Feb 22, 2012 (SPX)
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have clocked the fastest wind yet discovered blowing off a disk around a stellar-mass black hole. This result...
The world's strongest and purest neutron beam
Feb 15, 2012 (SPX)
The world's strongest neutron beam is produced by a scientific instrument at the research neutron source FRM II (Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz...
Particle collider to get energy boost
Feb 14, 2012 (UPI)
European particle physicists say the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland will be run at higher energies in 2012 than in previous years The higher energy 4 Tev ...
Oxygen molecule survives to enormously high pressures
Feb 08, 2012 (SPX)
Using computer simulations, a RUB researcher has shown that the oxygen molecule (O2) is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen millio...
Do black holes help stars form?
Feb 07, 2012 (SPX)
The centre of just about every galaxy is thought to host a black hole, some with masses of thousands of millions of Suns and consequently strong gravitational p...
