Berlin, Oct 11 : New high-resolution observations with the VLT (Very Large Telescope) Interferometer of the European Southern Observatory in Chile reveal gas infall and outflow processes in the direct environment of six young stars.
An international team of astronomers, led by Stefan Kraus from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany and Eric Tatulli from the Observatoire de Grenoble in France used the AMBER instrument to measure the geometry of atomic and molecular gas in the inner disk regions.
Surprisingly, they found that the gas emission can trace very distinct physical mechanisms.
These processes include infall of material onto the star as well as gas which is ejected from the system, likely in a disk wind.
Berlin, Oct 11 : Scientists have developed a novel compound that is solid at room temperature, is a highly powerful explosive, and can be melt-cast into the desired shape.
The new compound falls into the series of the nitrate ester group of compounds, which is known for its explosive properties.
The research team that developed the novel tetranitrate ester, was led by David E. Chavez from Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US.
Nitrate esters are organic nitric acid compounds that can contain enormous explosive force. However, their liquid physical state makes handling very difficult.
Berlin- Germany has re-introduced a military medal for bravery, more than 60 years after the last Iron Cross was awarded for valour in battle, according to a Defence Ministry spokesman Friday.
The Cross of Honour for Bravery will be in the iron-cross shape, but will not have the old name.
