First giant molecular cloud simulation for star formation that includes jets, radiation, winds, supernovae

The process of star formation is arguably the most important in the universe. Stars produce all chemical elements except hydrogen and helium during their lifetimes and then with their deaths (produced in the big bang). Stars nurture the birth of planets and smaller bodies...

Scientists make a new type of optical device using aluminium oxide

Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe and University of Minnesota scientists have made a new type of optical element. It will improve the performance of telescopes studying radiation from the Big Bang. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic radiation remnant...

Physicist solves century old problem of radiation reaction

Scientists have proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle responded to its own electromagnetic field. Dr. Jonathan Gratus, mathematical physicist, has suggested an alternative approach as a solution to the question. The research has been published in Journal of Physics...

Scientists coordinated to search for dark matter

PRISMA+Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Helmholtz Institute Mainz researchers have published a comprehensive data on the search for dark matter. They have used a worldwide network of optical magnetometers. Scientists said, dark matter fields produce a characteristic signal pattern which...

Scientists found oxygen ions in Jupiter’s innermost radiation belts

Earth, Jupiter and Saturn have global magnetic fields of their own. These are surrounded by so-called radiation belts. These belts are trapped in the magnetic field. These have fast moved charged particles like electrons, protons and heavier ions whiz around. These forms invisible and...

Scientists develop new method hunting for dead stars

Neutron stars are tiny in size but have incomprehensibly dense. They are stellar corpses. But they have some life in them to show some of the most exciting phenomena to be found in space. Scientists will be studying and looking for neutron stars for the next...
