'Time machine' will study the early universe

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 01:16 PM PDT

A new scientific instrument, a "time machine" of sorts, built by astronomers, will study the earliest galaxies in the universe, which could never be studied before.

Breakthrough in quantum communication

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 01:16 PM PDT

Scientists have created the first elementary quantum network based on interfaces between single atoms and photons. Whether it comes to phoning a friend or to using the internet -- our daily communication is based on sophisticated networks, with data being transferred at the speed of light between different nodes. It is a tremendous challenge to build corresponding networks for the exchange of quantum information.

Astronomers discover sandstorms in space

Astronomers believe they have found the answer to the mystery of a powerful 'superwind' which causes the death of stars.

Astronomers identify 12-billion-year-old white dwarf stars only 100 light years away

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 11:43 AM PDT

Astronomers have identified two white dwarf stars considered the oldest and closest known. Astronomers identified these 11- to 12-billion-year-old white dwarf stars only 100 light years away from Earth. These stars are the closest known examples of the oldest stars in the universe forming soon after the Big Bang.

Hybrid copper-gold nanoparticles convert CO<sub>2</sub>

Researchers have come up with a solution that may further reduce the energy needed for copper to convert carbon dioxide, while also making the metal much more stable.

Could 'advanced' dinosaurs rule other planets?

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 09:05 AM PDT

New scientific research raises the possibility that advanced versions of T. rex and other dinosaurs -- monstrous creatures with the intelligence and cunning of humans -- may be the life forms that evolved on other planets in the universe. "We would be better off not meeting them," concludes the study, which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Study on extrasolar planet orbits suggests that planetary systems like our solar system is the norm

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:40 AM PDT

Orbits of other planetary systems are aligned, like in a disk, just like in our own solar system, according to a new analysis.

Power without the cord for small devices

Posted: 11 Apr 2012 05:40 AM PDT

Cell phones and flashlights operate by battery without trouble. Yet because of the limited lifespan, battery power is not a feasible option for many applications in the fields of medicine or test engineering, such as implants or probes. Researchers have now developed a process that supplies these systems with power and without the power cord.
