How microorganisms survive space travel
...’ after deorbiting through the Earth’s atmosphere at a velocity close to that of a natural meteorite. The entry speed of the Photon capsule (7.7 km/sec) was somewhat lower than that of average size natural meteorites (10-20 km/sec), but was still...

Have researchers uncovered a fifth fundamental force?
...by the Hungarian scientists who were searching for ‘dark photons,’ particles that would would provide evidence for the existence...The UCl group have thus proposed a new theory, that the dark photon is in fact a boson, dubbed a "protophobic X boson,” ...

Planetary nebulae may hold clue in search of helium-3
... an inner shell and an outer elliptical envelope, but the inner shell is optically thick to He+ ionizing photons, meaning that the photons will be trapped in the inner shell, making it difficult for them to escape and ionise atoms in the...

Have astronomers found the signatures of the very first black holes formed through the collapse of gas clouds?
... can be overcome and while the gas collapses, Lyman-alpha photons (light emitted from one-electron ions – generally hydrogen atoms)...of the medium. The time required for the Lyman-alpha photons to escape the medium becomes larger than the free fall ...
