Too big for its boots: black hole is 30 times expected size
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
The central supermassive black hole of a recently discovered galaxy is far larger than should be possible, according to current theories of galactic evolution. ...
New method to better understand atomic nuclei
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
The precise structure of atomic nuclei is an old problem that has not been fully solved yet, and it also constitutes a current research focus in the field of na...
Milky Way's Black Hole Shows Signs of Increased Chatter
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
Three orbiting X-ray space telescopes have detected an increased rate of X-ray flares from the usually quiet giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way gal...
A twist for control of orbital angular momentum of neutron waves
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
An experiment by a team of researchers led from the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) shows, for the first time, that a wave proper...
Twisting neutrons
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
It's easy to contemplate the wave nature of light in common experience. White light passing through a prism spreads out into constituent colors; it diffracts fr...
Astronomers Identify a New Mid-size Black Hole
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
Nearly all black holes come in one of two sizes: stellar mass black holes that weigh up to a few dozen times the mass of our sun or supermassive black holes ran...
A new study predicts a quantum Goldilocks effect
Sep 25, 2015 (SPX)
Just as in the well-known children's story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, something good happens when things are done in moderation, rather than in extremes...
Characterizing the forces that hold everything together
Sep 24, 2015 (SPX)
As electronic, medical and molecular-level biological devices grow smaller and smaller, approaching the nanometer scale, the chemical engineers and materials sc...
NIST team breaks distance record for quantum teleportation
Sep 24, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have "teleported" or transferred quantum information carried in light particles over 10...
Experiment confirms fundamental symmetry in nature
Sep 23, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists working with ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), a heavy-ion detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ring, have made precise measurements of...
UCLA physicists determine 3-D positions of individual atoms for the first time
Sep 22, 2015 (SPX)
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter on Earth, and the patterns in which they are arranged dictate how strong, conductive or flexible a material will be....
Supermassive black hole pairs may be rarer than previously thought
Sep 22, 2015 (SPX)
There may be fewer pairs of supermassive black holes orbiting each other at the cores of giant galaxies than previously thought, according to a new study by ast...
Astronomers identify a new mid-size black hole
Sep 22, 2015 (SPX)
Nearly all black holes come in one of two sizes: stellar mass black holes that weigh up to a few dozen times the mass of our sun or supermassive black holes ran...
Researchers propose new way to chart the cosmos in 3-D
Sep 22, 2015 (SPX)
If only calculating the distance between Earth and far-off galaxies was as easy as pulling out the old measuring tape. Now UBC researchers are proposing a new w...
A quantum lab for everyone
Sep 17, 2015 (SPX)
Topical research experiments are often too expensive or too complex to be rebuilt and incorporated in teaching. How can one, nevertheless, make modern science a...
Funky Light Signal From Colliding Black Holes Explained
Sep 17, 2015 (JPL)
Entangled by gravity and destined to merge, two candidate black holes in a distant galaxy appear to be locked in an intricate dance. Researchers using data from...
New support for converging black holes in Virgo constellation
Sep 17, 2015 (SPX)
Earlier this year, astronomers discovered what appeared to be a pair of supermassive black holes circling toward a collision so powerful it would send a burst o...
Study that unraveled last mystery of electromagnetism questioned
Sep 16, 2015 (SPX)
A group of scientists from ITMO University, Australian National University and Aalto University called into question the results of a study, published by the re...
How to spawn an 'exceptional ring'
Sep 14, 2015 (SPX)
The Dirac cone, named after British physicist Paul Dirac, started as a concept in particle and high-energy physics and has recently became important in research...
Ultrafast uncoupled magnetism in atoms
Sep 14, 2015 (SPX)
Future computers will require a magnetic material which can be manipulated ultra-rapidly by breaking the strong magnetic coupling. A study has been published in...
