Bright Spots on Supergiant Star Drive Large-Scale Spiral Structures in Stellar Wind

A Canadian-led international team of astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of a supergiant star are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind. Their results are published in a recent edition of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Ames Laboratory Researchers Discover Super-Elastic Shape-Memory Properties in Superconductors

The U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory has discovered extreme "bounce," or super-elastic shape-memory properties in a material that could be applied for use as an actuator in the harshest of conditions, such as outer space, and might be the first in a whole new class of shape memory materials.

CUORE Provides Possible Explanation for Why the Universe Favors Matter Over Antimatter

The first glimpse of data from the full array of a deeply chilled particle detector operating beneath a mountain in Italy sets the most precise limits yet on where scientists might find a theorized process to help explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe.

Neturon Star Collision Produces Gravitational Waves Detected by LIGO

Physicists have detected gravitational waves, for the very first time, from the collision of two neutron stars. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) made this observation. LIGO is a collaborative project with more than one thousand researchers from over 20 countries, including the University of Minnesota.
