A team of scientists from the Australian National University (ANU) has discovered the oldest known star so far, with an age of about 13,600 years, relegating to second place the other longest-lived star that dates back to 13.2 billion years. . The study has been published in the journal Nature.
A group of researchers from Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (USA) have succeeded in creating the first single-pole magnet in a laboratory. It is a milestone that will revolutionize the world of physics, by opening the possibility of discovering new particles of nature, unthinkable until now. The results have been published in the journal Nature.
The most detailed image of the history of the cosmic background radiation - that is, of the vestiges of the Big Bang - has been obtained thanks to ESA's Planck space telescope and has just been made public. The new map, based on data collected over fifteen and a half months, is a portrait of the first light of the cosmos, which was etched in the sky when it was 380,000 years old. And it completes the concept that astrophysicists of the universe had until now. br>
It is possible that the universe did not begin its history with a great explosion, as the well-known Big Bang theory suggests, but with a handful of liquid that froze to form ice, as a team of theoretical physicists from the University of Melbourne has just proposed. (Australia).
Physicists and astronomers have long believed that the universe has mirror symmetry, like a basketball. But a study from the University of Michigan (USA) suggests that the shape of the Big Bang may have been more complex than previously believed, and that the nascent universe rotated on an axis.
Researchers from Imperial London College (United Kingdom) have led a team that has observed the brightest quasar discovered so far: ULAS J1120 + 064. The study, published in Nature, could prove useful in understanding the formation of the universe.
Haven't you participated in the Big Bang Game 2.0 yet? At the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia (mNACTEC) they have decided to give players 30 more days of competition to be eligible for one of the prizes offered by the innovative project.
In an experiment to collide lead nuclei at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a team of physicists discovered that the early Universe was not only extremely hot and dense, but had the consistency of a liquid.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
