Cecilia Payne deduced that the sun is mainly made of hydrogen - but was encouraged to downplay her findings by her PhD supervisor. Mike Sutton takes up the story ...

Scientists think they found evidence of weird ancient stars called "dark stars" that are powered by dark matter instead of ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the smallest brown dwarfs ever seen with the potential to ...

Quantum sensors for prosthesis control, robots that treat lung collapses in flight, the automated production of X-ray ...

Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Using the Very Large Array (VLA), astronomers have performed radio observations of a galaxy cluster Abell 2744, nicknamed ...

The problem of hydrogen’s spectral lines eludes me, as does any coherence during much of the day or night. The lushness of Göttingen’s parks and gardens is a curse in summer. If I am to make progress ...

Plasma spectroscopic techniques focused on the analysis of the plasma background radiation have been studied to enable an efficient on-line monitoring of a laser metal deposition process. The ...

Three years ago, a tsunami came crashing down on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, leading to the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. As Associate Editor Eliza Strickland explains in ...

A more sensitive spectral line of Tb (at 350.917 nm) could not be used due to Pr interference (Pr 350.918 nm), 28 and this was observed for the Tibet sediment sample. The LOD for each spectral line ...
