| WISE finds few brown dwarfs close to home Posted: 08 Jun 2012 03:36 PM PDT Astronomers are getting to know the neighbors better. Our sun resides within a spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy about two-thirds of the way out from the center. It lives in a fairly calm, suburb-like area with an average number of stellar residents. Recently, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, has been turning up a new crowd of stars close to home: the coldest of the brown dwarf family of "failed" stars.  |
| Neutrinos sent from CERN to Gran Sasso respect the cosmic speed limit, experiments confirm Posted: 08 Jun 2012 12:23 PM PDT The latest results on the time of flight of neutrinos from CERN to the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory have just been presented. Four experiments -- Borexino, ICARUS, LVD and OPERA -- all measure a neutrino time of flight consistent with the speed of light. This is at odds with a measurement that the OPERA collaboration put up for scrutiny last September, indicating that the original OPERA measurement can be attributed to a faulty element of the experiment's fibre optic timing system.  |
| Engineered robot interacts with live fish Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:08 AM PDT A bioinspired robot has provided the first experimental evidence that live zebrafish can be influenced by engineered robots.  |
| New property of flames sparks advances in technology Posted: 07 Jun 2012 09:23 AM PDT Chemists have discovered a new property of flames, which allows them to control reactions at a solid surface in a flame and opens up a whole new field of chemical innovation.  |
