Research: Short gamma-ray bursts traced farther into distant universe
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Astronomers have developed the most extensive inventory to date of the galaxies where short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) originate. Using several highly sensitive instruments and sophisticated galaxy modeling, the researchers pinpointed the galactic homes of 84 SGRBs and probed the characteristi

New research reveals exact shape of the halo of stars existing in our gala
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The cloud-like diffusion of stars, which almost appears like a disk in pictures, has long been believed to be spherical in shape. However, new research coming from a team of scientists at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics proves otherwise.

Research explores possibility of life beyond Earth
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
For millennia, caves have served as shelters for prehistoric humans. Caves have also intrigued scholars from early Chinese naturalists to Charles Darwin. A cave ecologist has been in and out of these subterranean ecosystems, examining the unique life forms -- and unique living conditions --

Astrologers finally find general neutron star structure
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
So far, little is known about the interior of neutron stars, those extremely compact objects that can form after the death of a star: the mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a sphere with the diameter of a large city.

Synthetic hibernation could provide protection from cosmic radiation
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
It is still a glimpse into the future: Astronauts could be put into artificial hibernation and in this state be better protected from cosmic radiation. At present, there are already promising approaches to follow up such considerations.

Research suggests synthetic black holes radiate like real ones
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Understanding black holes is the key to unravelling the most fundamental laws governing the cosmos because they represent the limits of two of the best-tested theories of physics: the theory of general relativity, which describes gravity as resulting from the (large-scale) warping of space-t
