Consisting of 500 concave mirrors mounted on a heliostat that allows them to track the Sun, each is focused into furnace’s ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny ...

Nasa's 1.4-ton Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is slowly falling towards Earth's atmosphere, and race is on to ensure it is pushed farther away. Nasa has unveiled plans to extend the life of the Neil ...

The observatory’s work is far from trivial. It captures gamma-ray, X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical data in real time, studying black holes, supernovae, neutron stars, and other cosmic phenomena.

“We chewed heavy metal down and spat it out our own way,” says Kai. “Someone came up with the idea to call it ‘power metal’.

New data on the gamma-ray burst "GRB 221009A", observed in October 2022, confirm theoretical models suggesting that these bursts of exceptionally intense electromagnetic waves generate ...

Abstract: The X-ray spectroscopy of the muonic atom has attracted atomic, nuclear, and particle physicists since its discovery. The properties of a muonic atom, such as its binding energy or atomic ...

Abstract: Neutron detectors are important for safe decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as a criticality monitor. In this study, we focused on semiconductor based neutron ...

Astronomers are trying to understand what caused a series of gamma ray bursts, or GRBs — the most powerful explosions in the universe. These energetic bursts are typically unleashed by the incendiary ...
