Read article 'Experiment recreates ‘seeds’ of the universe’s magnetic fields'
How did magnetic fields arise in the universe? An experiment using a high-power laser to create plasma instabilities may have glimpsed the processes that created magnetic fields during the period of g...
Read article 'Einstein ring reveals dwarf dark-matter galaxy'
If a remote galaxy is located exactly behind another galaxy then it can be seen deformed by gravitational lensing as an “Einstein ring”. The careful analysis of such an effect has recently...

In this book the authors provide a self-consistent and complete treatment of the dynamics of the very early universe, passing through a concise discussion of the Standard Cosmological Model, a precise...
Read article 'European funding agencies push forward large astroparticle-physics projects'
European funding agencies have welcomed the priorities for the future of astroparticle physics defined by the scientific community and have accepted the recommendations included in the update of the E...
Read article '‘Supernova of a generation’ reveals its nature'
Astronomers have put under scrutiny the brightest and closest stellar explosion seen in the past 25 years. They have identified the supernova in the Pinwheel galaxy observed on 24 August 201...
Read article 'Innovative camera records cosmic rays during full moon'
On the night of 11–12 October, just a few hours after installation of its camera, the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) recorded flashes of Cherenkov light from air showers induced by cosmic r...
Read article 'Scalar field could unlock supernova mystery'
A new component of gravity, the scalar gravitational field, may explain the mechanism that allows the immense explosions of type II supernovae to take place.
Read article 'VERITAS detects Crab pulsations at very high energies'
The Crab nebula is the brightest persistent gamma-ray source in the sky with radiation detected up to very high energies (VHE), above 100 GeV. The surprising result of the Very Energetic Radiatio...
