Galaxy with a huge black hole is a hermit
Apr 08, 2016 (SPX)
The most massive black holes are not confined to the highest density regions in the universe as a new discovery in a galaxy close to our Milky Way shows. An int...
Supermassive black holes may be lurking everywhere in the universe
Apr 07, 2016 (SPX)
A near-record supermassive black hole discovered in a sparse area of the local universe indicates that these monster objects - this one equal to 17 billion suns...
Simulating supermassive black holes
Apr 06, 2016 (SPX)

Elusive Japanese black hole seeking satellite breaks silence
Apr 05, 2016 (Sputnik)
Japan's X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Hitomi, which was launched last month, has managed to make fleeting contact with ground control amid reports that the spacecra...
Revealing the ion transport at nanoscale
Apr 04, 2016 (SPX)
EPFL researchers have shown that a law of physics having to do with electron transport at nanoscale can also be analogously applied to the ion transport. This d...
New use for X-rays: A radar gun for unruly atoms
Apr 04, 2016 (SPX)
X-rays have long been used to make pictures of tiny objects, even single atoms. Now a team of scientists has discovered a new use for X-rays at the atomic scale...
Eindhoven and Mexican researchers prove Huygens was right
Apr 01, 2016 (SPX)
In 1665 Christiaan Huygens discovered that two pendulum clocks, hung from the same wooden structure, will always oscillate in synchronicity. Today, some 350 yea...
A view of the colorful microcosm within a proton
Mar 29, 2016 (SPX)
The proton sounds like a simple object, but it's not. Inside, there's a teeming microcosm of quarks and gluons with properties such as spin and "color" charge t...
Improving benchtop particle accelerators
Mar 28, 2016 (SPX)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which helped scientists discover the Higgs boson, is a huge instrument buried under the Swiss-French border. It needs 27 kilome...
Timeless thoughts on the definition of time
Mar 28, 2016 (SPX)
The earliest definitions of time and time-interval quantities were based on observed astronomical phenomena, such as apparent solar or lunar time, and as such, ...
Entanglement becomes easier to measure
Mar 28, 2016 (SPX)
In quantum theory, interactions among particles create fascinating correlations known as entanglement that cannot be explained by any means known to the classic...
