Supernova factory discovered 250 million light years away
Astronomers at Chalmers and Onsala Space Observatory have discovered seven supernovae – previously unknown – in a galaxy 250 million light years away. This is the first time so many supernovae have been discovered in the same galaxy, acting as supporting evidence for the long-suspected theory that the universe’s most efficient star factories are also supernova factories.

A vital network for particle accelerators
The development of new particle accelerators with unprecedented beam characteristics has driven the need for intense research and development programs in diagnostic techniques in recent years. Carsten Welsch has initiated a project that will collate knowledge from institutions around Europe in order to improve the development of these instruments and the training of those involved

Has the speed of light been broken?
The OPERA1 team based at the CERN particle physics laboratory has held up a startling discovery for scrutiny by the scientific community. Neutrinos - electrically neutral particles produced as a by-product in nuclear fission from stars, so small that they were only recently found to have mass - could travel faster than the speed of light. If verified this could have a profound effect on the scientific community’s understanding of physics, reshaping the last one hundred years of thought.
