New tools analyze Pollock paintings with 2D multifractal methods
Jan 17, 2025 (SPX)
Describing abstract art in words is challenging, but a new analytical method based on two-dimensional multifractal tools provides an objective approach. Develop...
Astronomers catch unprecedented features at brink of active black hole
Jan 15, 2025 (SPX)
The source is 1ES 1927+654, a galaxy located about 270 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. It harbors a central black hole with a mass equivale...
This quasar may have illuminated the early universe
Jan 15, 2025 (SPX)
One of their critical roles lies in aiding astronomers to study the epoch of reionization, a transformative era less than a billion years after the Big Bang. Du...
Engineering quantum entanglement at the nanoscale
Jan 14, 2025 (SPX)
In one such phenomenon, called quantum entanglement, pairs of photons become interconnected in such a way that the state of one photon instantly changes to matc...
XMM-Newton detects peculiar black hole X-ray patterns
Jan 14, 2025 (SPX)
XMM-Newton's observations highlight the complexities of black hole feeding mechanisms. Predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, black holes are imm...
How Many Black Holes Are Hidden Behind Clouds of Dust
Jan 14, 2025 (SPX)
Scientists have long theorized that nearly every large galaxy houses a supermassive black hole at its core. However, direct observation is impractical due to th...
Neutron Star Deformations May Create Space-Time Ripples
Jan 13, 2025 (SPX)

Unveiling the secrets of a primeval galaxy from 13.4 billion years ago
Jan 13, 2025 (SPX)
"We pointed the more than forty 12-m antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the 6.5-m James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) for sev...
New quantum sensing technology reveals sub-atomic signals
Jan 07, 2025 (SPX)
These methods, however, rely on signals averaged from trillions of atoms, making it impossible to detect tiny variations between individual molecules. Such limi...
Secret lab developing UK's first quantum clock: defence ministry
Jan 02, 2025 (AFP)
The clock is so precise that it will lose less than one second over billions of years, "allowing scientists to measure time at an unprecedented scale," the mini...
Building safer and more accessible nuclear clocks
Dec 26, 2024 (SPX)
Despite their promise, nuclear clocks face steep challenges. The isotope thorium-229, essential for these clocks, is rare, radioactive, and prohibitively expens...
First demonstration of quantum teleportation over busy Internet cables
Dec 23, 2024 (SPX)
The discovery, published in the journal Optica, introduces the new possibility of combining quantum communication with existing Internet cables - greatly simpli...
Dark energy theory challenged by evidence of a 'lumpy' Universe
Dec 23, 2024 (SPX)
For over a century, physicists assumed the Universe expanded uniformly, relying on dark energy to address gaps in understanding. However, the new research suppo...
Quantum walks offer a promising path forward in quantum computing
Dec 23, 2024 (SPX)
Quantum walks, which are quantum analogs of classical random walks, play a vital role in advancing algorithms for applications such as database search, network ...
Thorium film could replace crystals in atomic clocks of the near future
Dec 20, 2024 (SPX)
But there's a catch: The thorium-229-doped crystals are both scarce and radioactive. In a new paper published in Nature, a team of UCLA chemists and physicists ...
