A research team led by Peter Baum from the University of Konstanz aims to film and visualize previously hidden processes at the atomic level in space and time. The European Research Council awarded Baum an Advanced Grant of 3.1 million euros to develop innovative methods in ultrafast electron microscopy.
University College Dublin researchers Assoc Prof Barry Wardell and Prof Kylie Jarrett receive a total of €5 million for projects exploring gravitational waves and livelihoods generated by digital platforms.
- Publication of three linked papers in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) by University of Leicester scientists describe how the capture of new matter - lasting a few days and corresponding to several Earth masses - formed a ring around the hole, before being partly swallowed by the hole, with excess matter ejected as a high velocity wind
- SMBH are found in the nucleus of all but the smallest galaxies, including our local Milky Way Galaxy, typically being identified by a bright or 'active' nucleus (AGN)
The cultural space is a reflection of societal values. Alina Poklad, a PhD candidate at Tallinn University's School of Humanities, researched how people with disabilities are portrayed in contemporary Russian culture and how this is reflected in public discourse.
As NASA prepares to send astronauts back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years, new research from the UTS has found that lunar dust is less harmful to human lung cells than previously feared, and significantly less toxic than common Earth-based air pollution.
Reliable 5G positioning is vital for smart cities, driverless cars, and next-gen mobile services. Yet in dense urban landscapes, high-rise buildings often distort signals, leading to major positioning errors.
As space travel becomes a real possibility for longer missions, including journeys to Mars, scientists are looking more closely at how space conditions affect human health.
