Indian astronomers unveil thermal structure of solar coronal holes, magnetic fields
New Delhi, Feb 18: Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, have accurately estimated the physical parameters of thermal and magnetic field structures of solar coronal holes.
Scientists describe black hole creation through pure gravity and without singularities
Barcelona, February 16: Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how singularities are resolved in the context of quantum gravity is one of the fundamental problems in theoretical physics. Now, a team of experts has described the creation of regular black holes from gravitational effects without the need for the existence of exotic matter required by some previous models.
Study finds how new technology enhances gravitational-wave detection
California, February 16: A team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, demonstrated how new optical technology can extend the detection range of gravitational-wave observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, and pave the way for future observatories.
International solar conference celebrates 125 years of solar physics research in India: IIA
New Delhi, Jan 24: The ongoing International Solar Conference celebrates the birth and growth of solar astronomy and physics in India, said the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) on Friday.
Scientists discover "space chorus" far from Earth
Beijing, Jan 23: An international research team led by Chinese scientists has discovered chorus waves more than 160,000 km away from Earth -- a space phenomenon previously believed to occur only near Earth's dipole magnetic field regions, according to a study on Thursday.
Scientists discover new superconductor material for wider use
Tokyo, Jan 19: Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a new superconducting material which can be more widely deployed in society.
Study finds large, small galaxies may grow in ways more similar
Arizona, January 17: A team of astronomers led by University of Arizona researcher Catherine Fielder captured the most precise photographs of a small galaxy and its surroundings, revealing features typically found in much larger galaxies.
