Under pressure: Foundations of stellar physics and nuclear fusion investigated
Research using the world鈥檚 most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter – essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop controlled nuclear fusion, a process that could harvest carbon-free energy.
Unseen newborn planets are stirring up dust around a young star
The young star TW Hydrae is playing "shadow puppets" with scientists observing it with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Tiny materials have huge solar energy applications
Tiny materials one hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a strand of hair could be used to improve solar cell technology.
Small stars may host bigger planets than previously thought
Stars with less than half the mass of our Sun are able to host giant Jupiter-style planets, in conflict with the most widely accepted theory of how such planets form, according to a new study led by UCL and 果冻传媒 researchers.
The world鈥檚 most intense high-energy neutrino beam measures the 鈥渦nmeasurable鈥� proton for the first time
Once deemed 鈥渦nmeasurable鈥� protons have been measured using a high-energy neutrino beam.
World-class centre for single crystal electron diffraction will be UK first
New electron diffraction equipment will revolutionise how we understand crystal structures.
