X-ray telescope eROSITA delivers a new sky map After 182 days, the x-ray telescope eROSITA on board the Spectrum-X-Gamma space probe has completed its first complete survey of the sky. This new map of the hot, energetic universe includes more than one million objects, effectively doubling the numbe...

Explosions from stars, so-called supernovas, can shed some light onto the research into dark matter. This has been shown by a study carried out by a team of German and Slovenian researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the University of Nova Gorica. The researchers’ findings have been published in the journal ‘Physical Review Letters’ (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.231101).

In October last year, the Department of Physics had supported its former colleague Prof. Gerd Schroeder-Turk with an open letter against the legal action of his employer, Murdoch University in Perth (AUS). He had publicly criticized his university's procedure for admitting external students and was ...
