Collaborate Disseminate
It feels like every time astronomers get a handle on a cosmic phenomenon, a new one pops up that sends them back to the drawing board. Case in point – Hubble has spotted a strange burst of light in a region of space where there didn’t seem to be a trig… Continue reading Mysterious explosion from empty region of space puzzles astronomers
Hospitals are meant to be places of healing, but patients often pick up new infections there that are potentially dangerous and hard to treat. A new, experimental vaccine given on arrival to hospital could help prevent infections from a range of drug-r… Continue reading Experimental type of vaccine could prevent hospital-acquired infections
The unprecedented power of the James Webb Space Telescope allows it to look farther back in space and time than ever before – and in doing so, it’s revealed puzzling galaxies that seem to be too advanced for their age. Now astronomers have proposed a n… Continue reading “Starburst” galaxies could solve cosmic dawn mystery raised by Webb
Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an invisible grating made of air shaped by acoustics.C… Continue reading “Invisible grating” bends laser using just air and sound
Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.Conti… Continue reading Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair
