Title: The origin of the Guitar pulsar Authors: N. Tetzlaff , R. Neuhäuser and M. M. Hohle Among a sample of 140 OB associations and clusters, we want to identify probable parent associations for the Guitar pulsar (PSR B2224+65), which would then also constrain its age. For this purpose, we are using...
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) is a directional dark matter direct detection experiment. DMTPC uses a Time Projection Chamber filled with diffuse CF4 gas and an optical (CCD) readout to look for nuclear recoils from spin-dependent WIMP interactions. [url=http://en.wikipedi...

The world's oldest known example of a fig wasp has been found on the Isle of Wight. The fossil wasp is almost identical to the modern species, proving that this tiny but specialised insect has remained virtually unchanged for over 34 million years. The fossil isn't a new find but was wrongly identifie...
