Title: IGRJ16479-4514: the first eclipsing supergiant fast X-ray transient? Authors: E. Bozzo, L. Stella, G. Israel, M. Falanga, S. Campana Supergiant fast X-ray transients are a new class of high mass X-ray binaries recently discovered with INTEGRAL. Hours long outbursts from these sources h...
Four robots have set a new distance world record, swimming more than 3,200 nautical miles (5,926km) across the Pacific Ocean. The drones are taking part in a project to gather data about the composition and quality of sea water. Built by US-firm Liquid Robotics, the PacX Wave Gliders are expected to...
Andromeda Wants You Astronomers at the University of Utah and elsewhere are seeking volunteers to explore the galaxy next door, Andromeda. The newly launched Andromeda Project will use people power to examine thousands of Hubble Space Telescope images of the galaxy to identify star clusters tha...
Title: Extremely metal-poor gas at a redshift of 7 Authors: Robert A. Simcoe, Peter W. Sullivan, Kathy L. Cooksey, Melodie M. Kao, Michael S. Matejek, Adam J. Burgasser In typical astrophysical environments, the abundance of heavy elements ranges from 0.001 to 2 times the solar concentration. Lo...
Nasa to send new rover to Mars in 2020 The US space agency (Nasa) says it will launch a new rover to Mars in 2020. The vehicle will be based on its Curiosity robot, which landed on the Red Planet in August. Nasa expects to re-use many of the technologies that worked so successfully in getting the one-tonne...

Giuseppe Paolo Stanislao "Beppo" Occhialini ForMemRS (December 5, 1907 in Fossombrone, Pesaro, Italy - December 30, 1993 in Paris) was an Italian physicist, who contributed to the discovery of the pion or pi-meson decay in 1947, with César Lattes and Cecil Frank Powell (Nobel Prize fo...
The Arctic oscillation (AO) or Northern Annular Mode/Northern Hemisphere Annular Mode (NAM) is an index (which varies over time with no particular periodicity) of the dominant pattern of non-seasonal sea-level pressure variations north of 20N latitude, and it is characterized by pressure ano...
A telescope designed by a University of Miami physicist and an international team of collaborators has produced the clearest images of starburst galaxies, revealing a new picture of the universe in its early stages People have always wondered where we, our Earth, our galaxy, come from. A group of s...
Mathematics research could point to new understanding of liquid motion. Droplets of liquid have been shown to travel uphill when the surface is vigorously shaken. In a similar process to raindrops on car windscreens, small ones stay in place while bigger ones roll down the window. This is due to th...
