Dust in SPACE: Studying the growth of planetesimals with a suborbital rocket experiment
By sending a chamber of dust on a suborbital ballistic rocket, the authors of this paper hope to find out how planetesimals form.
AR Coating with a Silicon Dicing Saw
Anti-reflection coatings aren’t just for your glasses — telescope lenses need them too! Here we look at a new technique for reducing reflections in lenses made of silicon.
What Can Radio Emission Tell Us About Dark Matter?
Dark matter particles annihilating could potentially create electrons and positrons, generating continuum synchrotron emission. This paper attempts to find this signature in nearby dwarf galaxies.
Cosmic Rays from the Telescope Array
An array of cosmic ray telescopes in western Utah is determining the origin of the most energetic particles in the Universe.
Closing In on the Epoch of Reionization
An array of dipole antennas in South Africa’s Karoo desert offers the best limit on the power spectrum of the Epoch of Reionization.
