Astronomers Measure 3D Stellar Motions of Individual Stars Using NASA/ESA Hubble and ESA's Gaia

A team of astronomers used data from both the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and ESA’s Gaia satellite to directly measure the 3D motions of individual stars in a nearby galaxy. The achieved accuracy is better than anything previously measured for a galaxy beyond the Milky Way.

Astronomers Make First Measurement of Proper Motions of 15 Stars in Sculptor Galaxy

By combining data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Gaia mission, University of Groningen astronomers have been able to measure the proper motion of 15 stars in the Sculptor Galaxy, the first such measurement of stars in a small galaxy outside the Milky Way.

Physicists Achieve Most Precise Measurement to Date of Proton's Magnetic Moment

An international partnership between researchers from RIKEN’s Ulmer Fundamental Symmetries Laboratory (FSL), Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg, and GSI Darmstadt has culminated in the use of highly accurate methods for making the most accurate evaluation of the proton’s magnetic moment made till date, and discovered it to be 2.79284734462 ± 0.00000000082 nuclear magnetons—the unit usually used to evaluate this feature.

MIT Physicists' New Laser Technique Could Speed Up Investigations into Magnetism and Superconductivity

The world of an atom is one of random chaos and heat. At room temperatures, a cloud of atoms is a frenzied mess, with atoms zipping past each other and colliding, constantly changing their direction and speed.

Concepts of Dark Matter and Dark Energy may be No Longer Valid

For close on a century, researchers have hypothesised that the universe contains more matter than can be directly observed, known as "dark matter". They have also posited the existence of a "dark energy" that is more powerful than gravitational attraction.

Scientists Unravel Mystery of Gamma-Ray Emission Cascades Caused by Lightning

A storm system approaches: the sky darkens, and the low rumble of thunder echoes from the horizon. Then without warning... Flash! Crash! -- lightning has struck.

Researchers Develop New Method to Measure Radius of Neutron Stars

Neutron stars are made out of cold ultra-dense matter. How this matter behaves is one of the biggest mysteries in modern nuclear physics. Researchers developed a new method for measuring the radius of neutron stars which helps them to understand what happens to the matter inside the star under extreme pressure.
