 Polarizing filter allows astronomers to see disks surrounding black holes(PhysOrg.com) -- For the first time, a team of international researchers has found a way to view the accretion disks surrounding black holes and verify that their true electromagnetic spectra match what astronomers ... |
 The Pole star comes to life again(PhysOrg.com) -- The Northern Star, whose vibrations were thought to be dying away, appears to have come to life again. |
 Brightest Star in the Galaxy Has New Competition(PhysOrg.com) -- A contender for the title of brightest star in our Milky Way galaxy has been unearthed in the dusty metropolis of the galaxy's center. |
 Many processors make light work of calculationsSolving complicated calculations has never been easy, but a new European computing grid means researchers can number crunch their data faster than ever before. |
 Discovery of the source of the most common meteoritesAstronomy & Astrophysics is publishing the first discovery by T. Mothé-Diniz (Brazil) and D. Nesvorný (USA) of asteroids with a spectrum similar to that of ordinary chondrites, the meteoritic material ... |
 Study Puts Solar Spin on Asteroids, their Moons & Earth ImpactsAsteroids with moons, which scientists call binary asteroids, are common in the solar system. A longstanding question has been how the majority of such moons are formed. In this week's issue of the journal ... |
Looking for neutralinos at the Large Hadron Collider“We are looking at the heavens, and using the very biggest things to help up predict what will happen with the very smallest things,” David Toback tells PhysOrg.com. Toback is a professor at Texas A&M University in ... |
 Open clusters like Orion have low fertility rateA detailed survey of stars in the Orion Nebula has found that fewer than 10 percent have enough surrounding dust to make Jupiter-sized planets, according to a report by astronomers at the University of California, ... |
 Einstein was right: Unique stellar system provides 'laboratory' for testing relativityResearchers at McGill University's Department of Physics – along with colleagues from several countries – have confirmed a long-held prediction of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, via observations ... |
 First images of solar system's invisible frontierNASA's sun-focused STEREO spacecraft unexpectedly detected particles from the edge of the solar system last year, allowing University of California, Berkeley, scientists to map for the first time the energized ... |
 Catch a new planetIs there anybody out there? Could the Universe contain lots of other planets like ours? Are there new worlds yet to be discovered? |
 Physicists create millimeter-sized 'Bohr atom'Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that resemble it more ... |
A bright future for plastics -- robot 'skin,' flexible laptops and electric postersWITH market analysts predicting a ten fold increase in the value of the organic light emitting display industry, from £1.5 billion to £15.5 billion, by 2014, it is no wonder that scientists and governments alike are keen ... |
 Oxygen Ions for Fuel Cells Get Loose at Low TemperaturesSeeking to understand a new fuel cell material, a research team working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, has uncovered a novel ... |
