NASA's Swift reveals a black hole bull's-eye
Jul 10, 2015 (SPX)
What looks like a shooting target is actually an image of nested rings of X-ray light centered on an erupting black hole. On June 15, NASA's Swift satellite det...
New method of quantum entanglement packs vastly more data in a photon
Jul 10, 2015 (SPX)
A team of researchers led by UCLA electrical engineers has demonstrated a new way to harness light particles, or photons, that are connected to each other and a...
Astronomers find a massive black hole that outgrew its galaxy
Jul 10, 2015 (SPX)
Astronomers have spotted a super-sized black hole in the early universe that grew much faster than its host galaxy. The discovery runs counter to most observati...
Distant Black Hole Wave Twists Like Giant Whip
Jul 10, 2015 (JPL)
Fast-moving magnetic waves emanating from a distant supermassive black hole undulate like a whip whose handle is being shaken by a giant hand, according to a ne...
Soundproofing with quantum physics
Jul 10, 2015 (SPX)
Doughnuts, electric current and quantum physics - this will sound like a weird list of words to most people, but for Sebastian Huber it is a job description. ET...
A black hole under the gravitational lens
Jul 10, 2015 (SPX)
Turbulent processes take place close to supermassive black holes, which lurk in the centres of nearly all galaxies. They swallow up matter flowing in from the o...
X-rays and electrons join forces to map catalytic reactions in real-time
Jul 09, 2015 (SPX)
A new technique pioneered at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory reveals atomic-scale changes during catalytic reactions in real time...
Why do puddles stop spreading?
Jul 09, 2015 (SPX)
When you spill a bit of water onto a tabletop, the puddle spreads - and then stops, leaving a well-defined area of water with a sharp boundary. There's just one...
The ins and outs of QCD
Jul 09, 2015 (SPX)
Quarks and antiquarks are the teeny, tiny building blocks with which all matter is built, binding together to form protons and neutrons in a process explained b...
Microwaves force single atoms to absolute zero in quantum tech
Jul 07, 2015 (SPX)
Physicists at the University of Sussex have found a way of using everyday technology found in kitchen microwaves and mobile telephones to bring quantum physics ...
Producing spin-entangled electrons
Jul 03, 2015 (SPX)
A team from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science, along with collaborators from several Japanese institutions, have successfully produced pairs of spin-...
NASA missions monitor a waking black hole
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
NASA's Swift satellite detected a rising tide of high-energy X-rays from the constellation Cygnus on June 15, just before 2:32 p.m. EDT. About 10 minutes later,...
NASA explains why June 30 will get extra second
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
The day will officially be a bit longer than usual on Tuesday, June 30, 2015, because an extra second, or "leap" second, will be added. "Earth's rotation is gra...
Opening a new route to photonics
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
A new route to ultrahigh density, ultracompact integrated photonic circuitry has been discovered by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (...
New model of cosmic stickiness favors 'Big Rip' demise of universe
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
The universe can be a very sticky place, but just how sticky is a matter of debate. That is because for decades cosmologists have had trouble reconciling the cl...
Unexpectedly little black-hole monsters rapidly suck up surrounding matter
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
Using the Subaru Telescope, researchers at the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Russia and Kyoto University in Japan have found evidence that enigmatic obje...
Modeling fusions 'density limit' barrier
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a detailed model of the source of a puzzling limi...
Is the Universe Ringing Like a Crystal Glass
Jul 01, 2015 (SPX)
Many know the phrase "the big bang theory." There's even a top television comedy series with that as its title. According to scientists, the universe began with...
The quantum spin Hall effect is a fundamental property of light
Jun 28, 2015 (SPX)
In a paper that crystalizes knowledge from a variety of experiments and theoretical developments, scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science i...
New light in terahertz window
Jun 28, 2015 (SPX)
Yet it has the potential for numerous applications. In Physical Review Letters, scientists at Julich together with their international partners present a new co...
