Microscopic view on asteroid collisions could help us understand planet formation
A new way of dating collisions between asteroids and planetary bodies throughout our Solar System's history could help scientists reconstruct how and when planets were born.
A team of researchers, led by the University of Cambridge,…
How galaxies can exist without dark matter: In simulations, collisions cause smaller star groupings…
In a new Nature Astronomy study, an international team led by astrophysicists from the University of California, Irvine and Pomona College report how, when tiny galaxies collide with bigger ones, the bigger galaxies can strip the smaller…
New truths emerge from Asteroid collisions and Mars craters: Study
Collision of asteroids that formed impact craters on Mars, has been consistent over the past 600 million years.
A new research led by New Curtin University, confirmed that the…
Computer simulation models potential asteroid collisions: Results to provide data for NASA’s…
An asteroid impact can be enough to ruin anyone's day, but several small factors can make the difference between an out-of-this-world story and total annihilation. In AIP Advances, by AIP Publishing, a researcher from the National Institute…
Neutron star collisions are ‘goldmine’ of heavy elements, study finds: Mergers between…
Most elements lighter than iron are forged in the cores of stars. A star's white-hot center fuels the fusion of protons, squeezing them together to build progressively heavier elements. But beyond iron, scientists have puzzled over what…
Physicists probe light smashups to guide future research: Understanding photon collisions could aid…
Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future studies of primordial plasma and…
