Following repairs on its HIFI instrument, the Herschel Space Observatory is back online and ready to perform science. The European Space Agency (ESA) telescope is the largest ever built to date, and also the most sensitive. It surveys the skies from its “strategic” location in the L2 Lagrangian point, som... |

Two research groups, one based in France, and the other one in the United Kingdom, are currently working on new ways of integrating Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers in the operating room. They say that this could halve, or even quarter, the time it takes for biopsy samples to be analyzed, a feat that co... |

In various new-age astronomy theories, dark matter and dark energy play central roles. In spite of the fact that even newer models have demonstrated that some yet-unexplained phenomena do not require the introduction of these elements in the equation, some scientists continue to push on for the creation of instrument... |

With more than 300 exoplanets discovered thus far and hundreds others to be found soon by the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers are now considering methods of investigating their surface, in a bid to discover signs of life. Naturally, sending probes to these worlds is unfeasible, on account of the fact that some of... |
