Date Time Excess x-rays from neutron stars could lead to discovery of new particle A team of scientists, including a University of Minnesota researcher, have found that mysterious x-rays detected from nearby neutron stars may be the first evidence of axions, hypothetical particles that many physicists believe make up dark matter. If their theory is confirmed, the researchers’ findings could help physicists unravel several mysteries of the universe. Their paper is published in Physical Review Letters, a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the American Physical Society. There are many...

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at Berkeley Lab, suggests that never-before-observed particles called axions may be the source of unexplained, high-energy X-ray emissions surrounding a group of neutron stars.

University of New Mexico Ph.D. Student Siavash Nikravesh and Mechanical Engineering Professor and Department Chair Yu-Lin Shen, using Center for Advanced Research Computing resources, have developed a new three-dimensional modeling approach to solving deformation problems, making it easier to design a wide variety of products including flexible electronics. The project is being funded by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium in the hopes that this technology may be used to design NASA equipment. The factors that determine exactly h...
