| Intergalactic magnifying glasses could help astronomers map galaxy centers Posted: 30 Jun 2013 07:52 PM PDT Astronomers may have found a new way to map quasars, the energetic and luminous central regions often found in distant galaxies.  |
| Rocket-launched camera reveals highways and sparkles in the solar atmosphere Posted: 30 Jun 2013 07:52 PM PDT Using an innovative new camera on board a sounding rocket, an international team of scientists have captured the sharpest images yet of the Sun's outer atmosphere. The team discovered fast-track 'highways' and intriguing 'sparkles' that may help answer a long-standing solar mystery.  |
| The quantum secret to alcohol reactions in space Posted: 30 Jun 2013 11:50 AM PDT Chemists have discovered that an 'impossible' reaction at cold temperatures actually occurs with vigor, which could change our understanding of how alcohols are formed and destroyed in space.  |
| Diamond catalyst shows promise in breaching age-old barrier Posted: 30 Jun 2013 11:44 AM PDT In the world, there are a lot of small molecules people would like to get rid of, or at least convert to something useful. Think carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas most responsible for far-reaching effects on global climate. Nitrogen is another ubiquitous small-molecule gas that can be transformed into the valuable agricultural fertilizer ammonia. Plants perform the chemical reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia as a matter of course, but for humans to do that in an industrial setting, a necessity for modern agriculture, requires subjecting nitrogen to massive amounts of energy under high pressure. Now a new method may make a big difference.  |
