Ripples in the cosmic web
Apr 28, 2017 (SPX)
Now, a team of astronomers, including UC Santa Barbara physicist Joseph Hennawi, have made the first measurements of small-scale ripples in this primeval hydrog...
Detector delivery marks another Euclid milestone
Apr 27, 2017 (ESA)
Euclid is a pioneering mission to observe billions of faint galaxies and investigate the origin of the Universe's accelerating expansion, as well as the mysteri...
First-ever direct observation of chiral currents in quantum Hall atomic simulation
Apr 27, 2017 (SPX)
Topological Insulators (TIs) are arguably the most promising class of materials discovered in recent years, with many potential applications theorized. That's b...
Study offers new theoretical approach to describing non-equilibrium phase transitions
Apr 27, 2017 (SPX)
In physics, "equilibrium" refers to a state when an object is not in motion and has no energy flowing through it. As you might expect, most of our lives take pl...
New survey hints at exotic origin for the Cold Spot
Apr 26, 2017 (SPX)
The cosmic microwave background (CMB), a relic of the Big Bang, covers the whole sky. At a temperature of 2.73 degrees above absolute zero (or -270.43 degrees C...
Quantum mechanics are complex enough, for now...
Apr 24, 2017 (SPX)
The standard rules of quantum mechanics work extremely well, but, given that there are still open questions regarding the interpretation of quantum mechanics, s...
Can we see a singularity, the most extreme object in the universe?
Apr 21, 2017 (SPX)
When the fuel of a very massive star is spent, it collapses due to its own gravitational pull and eventually becomes a very small region of arbitrarily high mat...
The Arrhythmic Beating of a Black Hole Heart
Apr 20, 2017 (SPX)
New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes has revealed details about this giant black hole, located some 145 million light years from ...
Supermassive black holes found in 2 tiny galaxies
Apr 18, 2017 (SPX)
Now, the same group of U astronomers and colleagues have found two more ultra-compact dwarf galaxies with supermassive black holes. Together, the three examples...
Study unravels long-held Fermi puzzle tied to nonlinear systems
Apr 18, 2017 (SPX)
The challenge within the FPUT problem was that the scientists expected the system to achieve a relaxed state, possibly equilibrium, but instead it never relaxed...
Washington State University physicists create 'negative mass'
Apr 18, 2017 (SPX)
The phenomenon is rarely created in laboratory conditions and can be used to explore some of the more challenging concepts of the cosmos, said Michael Forbes, a...
Super sensitive devices work on recycling atoms
Apr 13, 2017 (SPX)
Theoretical physicist Dr Stuart Szigeti, of UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics, said future precision sensing technology would exploit unusual effects of qu...
Potential new applications stem from controlling particles' spin configurations
Apr 13, 2017 (SPX)
In a new study published in EPJ B, theoretical physicists explore the possibility of separately controlling the up and down spin populations of a group of inter...
The most accurate measurement of rare meson decay confirms modern physics
Apr 13, 2017 (SPX)
Meanwhile, the spectacular result of the latest analysis has only served to extend the range of applicability of the Model. Mesons are unstable particles coming...
Physicists discover hidden aspects of electrodynamics
Apr 12, 2017 (SPX)
Now, new research led by LSU Department of Physics and Astronomy Assistant Professor Ivan Agullo, with colleagues from the Universidad de Valencia, Spain, advan...
Brightness of the universe with NASA's New Horizons spacecraft
Apr 12, 2017 (SPX)
In the study, "Measurement of the Cosmic Optical Background using the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New Horizons," lead author Michael Zemcov used archiva...
Proton-nuclei smashups yield clues about 'quark gluon plasma'
Apr 12, 2017 (SPX)
As the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth, the LHC is able to smash together the nuclei of atoms at nearly the speed of the light. The energy released ...
Peering into Black Holes Using an Earth-sized Telescope
Apr 10, 2017 (SPX)
Turning the Earth into one giant telescope by coordinating observations from instruments arrayed around the world, teams of radio astronomers are aiming their t...
Scientists make progress on unravelling the puzzle of merging black holes
Apr 10, 2017 (SPX)
Astrophysicists at the University of Birmingham have made progress in understanding a key mystery of gravitational-wave astrophysics: how two black holes can co...
Seeing Black Holes and Beyond
Apr 06, 2017 (SPX)
Through an international effort led by MIT Haystack Observatory, the ALMA array in Chile has joined a global network of radio telescopes. A powerful new array o...
