  • New Horizons: Mapping at System’s Edge

    Dust between the stars usually factors into our discussions on Centauri Dreams when we’re considering its effect on fast-moving spacecraft. Although it only accounts for 1 percent of the mass in the interstellar medium (the other 99 percent being gas) its particles and ices have to be accounted for when moving at a substantial fraction of the speed of light. As you would expect, regions of star formation are particularly heavy in dust, but we also have to account for its presence if we’re...
  • Strong frontal system affects central Chile

    Santiago de Chile, May 20 (Prensa Latina) An intense frontal system entered the Chilean regions of Valparaiso and the Metropolitan Region on Monday, where in the first hours of rainfalls over 50,000 homes were left without electricity service. The post Strong frontal system affects central Chile first appeared on Prensa Latina.
  • Seeing the color of entangled photons in molecular systems

    Spectroscopy is the study of how matter absorbs and emits light and other radiation. It allows scientists to study the structure of atoms and molecules, including the energy levels of their electrons. Classical optical spectroscopy relies on the way particles of light called photons interact with matter. These classical spectroscopy techniques include one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA).
