Scientists from the Oxford University in the UK and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have invented a powerful X-ray laser - the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). This laser will allow, for the first time, the heating of matter up to 2 million degrees Celsius, in a controlled setting.

The scientists used a laser to create magnetic fields which is similar to the magnetism of the universe.

Astronomers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Groningen and Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy discover dark dwarf galaxy.

A long-duration solar flare that first erupted on the sun is heading towards Earth. The flare can disrupt long-range radio communications. On the other hand, it can create a beautiful display of the northern lights (aurora borealis) on Saturday.

NASA has caught a comet death on camera for the first time. The comet flew very close to the Sun, and it got evaporated due to the excess heat.

Released by NASA, these rarely-seen images have been digitally restored to an incredibly high quality, showing snapshots of life literally out of this world.

Had it been successful, the spacecraft would have returned in August 2014.

Scientists have warned they expect the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft to plummet back down to Earth on Sunday.

These four new planets, known as Hot Jupiters, are quite large. They revolve very close to their Sun-like star and so they are quite hot, compared to the Earth.
