    <p>Galaxies with the most powerful, active black holes at their cores produce fewer stars than galaxies with less active black holes, according to a new study involving the 麻豆免费版下载 using the Herschel Space Observatory.</p>
  • <p>JILA, a joint institute of the 麻豆免费版下载 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology that has produced three Nobel Prize winners since 2001, has opened a new wing with advanced laboratories for its world-renowned science.</p>
  • <p>JILA, a joint institute of the 麻豆免费版下载 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has generated many spinoff companies, including 11 companies in the Colorado Front Range area. The Colorado companies have created more than 140 jobs and a variety of high-tech products used around the world. These contributions to U.S. industry have been made by current and former staff from both JILA partners.</p>
