Purdue University researchers have created magnetically responsive gold nanostars that may offer a new approach to biomedical imaging. The nanostars gyrate when exposed to a rotating magnetic field ...

Northwestern researchers have created the world's first audio simulation of twinkling stars. They did this by converting simulations of gas waves produced inside stars into sound waves. They hope the ...

Since 1986 I have had an affiliation with the Hayden Planetarium in New York. My "official" title there is "Associate and Guest Lecturer." Indeed, through all of these years I given scores of ...

The stars sparkle in the night sky as Earth’s atmosphere warps their incoming light. In truth, starlight appears steady as it speeds through space, only becoming distorted as it travels the last few ...

Scientists have discovered a simple and inexpensive way for patients with retinal and other eye disease to keep track of changes in their vision loss. They demonstrate that a compelling visual ...

Science 101 tells us that the twinkling appearance of stars from our vantage point on Earth is due to atmospheric effects: winds and varying temperatures and densities in the air bend and distort the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -Purdue University researchers have created magnetically responsive gold nanostars that may offer a new approach to biomedical imaging. The nanostars gyrate when exposed to a ...

Some people probably believe that the twinkling effect is produced by the stars themselves, but that is not the case at all. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
