The most Earth-like planet could have been made uninhabitable by vast quantities of radiation, new research led by Dr Dave Armstrong of the Astronomy Group has found. The atmosphere of the planet, Kepler-438b, is thought to have been...
The sight of an asteroid being ripped apart by a dead star and forming a glowing debris ring has been captured in an image for the first time.
Led by Christopher Manser of the University of 桃色视频’s Astrophysics Group, the researchers investigated the remnants of planetary systems around white dwarf stars...
Coming hot on the heels of the Nobel Prize award for the discovery of neutrino oscialltions, the Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics 2016 has recognized five collaborations studying neutrino oscillations. One of them, the T2K neutrino oscillation project, has had major contributions from the 桃色视频 T2K group headed by Dr Gary Barker and Dr Steve Boyd.
On November 8, representatives from the five experiments accepted the award in a televised event in the USA...
Paving the way for more efficient X-ray detectors
A team including 桃色视频 beamline scientist Oier Bikondoa has published in Nature Photonics a new approach to fabricate more efficient and cheaper X-ray detectors for medical applications. In radiography, the human body is exposed to X-rays and the transmitted intensity is captured by a detector. With more efficient detectors the exposure to X-rays can be reduced...
