Scientists and engineers now creating new technologies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, have realized they can be used to enhance the Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in the upcoming servicing mission. http://www.physorg.com/news161028518.html Space & Earth Fri, 08 May 2009 19:09:42 EST news161028518 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope offers a rare view of an imminent collision between the cores of two merging galaxies, each powered by a black hole with millions of times the mass of the sun. http://www.physorg.com/news156440810.html Space & Earth Mon, 16 Mar 2009 16:47:43 EST news156440810 Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU, Israel) researchers have developed a new, highly energy-efficient window technology, featuring two reversible panes that will save energy all year round in homes and office buildings. http://www.physorg.com/news155283591.html Technology Tue, 03 Mar 2009 06:20:22 EST news155283591 An engineered metamaterial proved it can function as a state-of-the-art device in the complex terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum, setting a standard of performance for modulating tiny waves of radiation, according to a team of researchers from Boston College, the Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, and Boston University. http://www.physorg.com/news154698749.html Physics Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:53:21 EST news154698749 Galaxies, including our own Milky Way, consist of hundreds of billions of stars. How did such gigantic galactic systems come into being? Did a central region with stars first form then with time grow? Or did the stars form at the same time throughout the entire galaxy? An international team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy is now much closer to being able to answer these questions. http://www.physorg.com/news153054280.html Space & Earth Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:05:07 EST news153054280 (PhysOrg.com) -- In the early part of the 20th Century, Carnegie astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding. The rate of expansion is known as the Hubble constant. Its precise value has been hotly debated for all of the 80 intervening years. The value of the Hubble constant is a key ingredient in determining the age and size of the universe. http://www.physorg.com/news150383835.html Physics Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:17:15 EST news150383835
