This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. The image required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 Hubble orbits around Earth. The total amount of exposure time was 11.3 days, taken between Sept. 24, 2003 and Jan. 16, 2004.

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A breathtaking outer space picture showing an infrared view of the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) taken by VISTA. NGC 6334 is a vast region of star formation about 5500 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Scorpius.

The whole gas cloud is about 50 light-years across. NGC 6334 is one of the most active nurseries of young massive stars in our galaxy, some nearly ten times the mass of our Sun and most born in the last few million years.

Defective nanotubes turned into light emitters

more »

Scientists are usually after defect-free nano-structures. Yet in this case the UPV/EHU researcher Angel Rubio and his collaborators have put the structural defects in boron nitride nanotubes to maximum use. The outcome of his research is a new light-emitting source that can easily be incorporated into current microelectronics technology. The research has also resulted in a patent.

Taking a new look at carbon nanotubes

more »

Two of the biggest challenges in carbon nanotube research have been met with the development of a technique that can be used to identify the structure of an individual carbon nanotube and characterize its electronic and optical properties in a functional device.

Researchers develop technique for imaging individual carbon nanotubes

more »

(Phys.org) —Despite their almost incomprehensibly small size – a diameter about one ten-thousandth the thickness of a human hair – single-walled carbon nanotubes come in a plethora of different "species," each with its own structure and unique combination of electronic and optical properties. Characterizing the structure and properties of an individual carbon nanotube has involved a lot of guesswork – until now.

The Large Hadron Collider on tour



A video taster of the new immersive exhibition Collider, opening today (Video: Science Museum)


A new exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider opens this week. Collider will be at London’s Science Museum, UK, for six months before a planned international tour.


Webcast events today precede the official opening to the public tomorrow. At 12.05pm (CET), Nobel Prize winning theoretical physicist Peter Higgs will be answering questions from students. Later today, events include an audience with physicist Stephen Hawking and a discussion of science and art with author Ian McEwan and theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed. Follow the action on Twitter with the hashtag #smCollider or at the Science Museum website.


Collider blends theatre, video and sound art with real artefacts from CERN. Explore the superconducting magnets that steer the beams in the LHC and the radiofrequency cavities that accelerate the particles. Or examine detailed detector electronics from the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb experiments at the LHC.


The exhibition runs until 6 May 2014. Tickets are available via the Science Museum website. Entry is free for CERN access-badge holders.


The launch of Collider coincides with the publication of two new books linked to the LHC: The Large Hadron Collider Popup Book – the Higgs Edition in which 7000 tonnes of metal, glass, plastic, cables and computer chips leap from the page in miniature pop-up as you discover the LHC and its quest to find out what the universe is made of and how it works. Hunting the Higgs tells the story of one of the world’s largest particle detectors, the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, from its inception in the late 1980s to its construction in the 2000s and its first years of operation in the 2010s.

Hans Blix talks thorium energy and nuclear non-proliferation


Hans Blix speaks to CERN about thorium energy, nuclear safety and non-proliferation (Video: CERN)


The Thorium Energy Conference, ThEC13, ran from 27 to 31 October at CERN, addressing the scientific and technical advances offered by thorium – a silvery white metal four times more abundant than uranium in the Earth's crust – in alternative nuclear technologies for energy production and for the destruction of nuclear waste.


Conference Chair Egil Lillestol invited Swedish diplomat and politician Hans Blix to talk about "Thorium Nuclear Power and Non-Proliferation". In a career spanning more than 50 years, Blix has been head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission.


Blix highlighted the advantages of thorium in terms of safety, disposal of radioactive waste, and nuclear non-proliferation. "Some people are worried about the spread of nuclear weapons through the use of nuclear techniques," he says. "With thorium you cannot get a material from which you can make bombs. It's very satisfactory from this point of view."


During the 1990s, CERN pioneered research into thorium technologies with experiments instigated by Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia, testing the basic concepts of a thorium-fuelled reactor driven by a proton accelerator.

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A fantastic colour composite image of RCW120 (aka Gum 58).
It reveals how an expanding bubble of ionised gas about ten light-years across is causing the surrounding material to collapse into dense clumps where new stars are then formed.
The 870-micron submillimetre-wavelength data were taken with the LABOCA camera on the 12-m Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope. Here, the submillimetre emission is shown as the blue clouds surrounding the reddish glow of the ionised gas (shown with data from the SuperCosmos H-alpha survey). The image also contains data from the Second Generation Digitized Sky Survey (I-band shown in blue, R-band shown in red).more items with this image
