Event Horizon Telescope advances imaging of black holes and jets
Dec 18, 2024 (SPX)
A major question for astronomers is how supermassive black holes launch jets of high-energy particles at nearly the speed of light. The team has moved closer to...
All observables in nature measurable with a single unit of time
Dec 18, 2024 (SPX)
The study, published in Scientific Reports, was conducted by George Matsas and Vicente Pleitez from Sao Paulo State University (IFT-UNESP), Alberto Saa from the...
Astrophysicists capture gamma-ray flare from supermassive black hole M87
Dec 15, 2024 (SPX)
The jet coming out of the center of M87 is seven orders of magnitude - tens of millions of times - larger than the event horizon, or surface of the black hole i...
NASA plans February 2025 launch for SPHEREx mission to map the cosmos
Dec 13, 2024 (SPX)
SPHEREx, roughly the size of a compact car, will orbit Earth in a polar trajectory. Its primary mission is to create a comprehensive 3D map of the entire sky, c...
Straining a material's atomic arrangement may make for cleaner, smarter devices
Dec 13, 2024 (SPX)
The process, called strain tuning, alters a material's properties by stretching or compressing its atomic unit cell, which is the repeating motif of atoms that ...
Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time
Dec 11, 2024 (SPX)
The team, led by scientists at Penn State and Columbia University, recently published their discovery in the journal Physical Review X. "This was totally unexpe...
Falsifying the role of the Anthropic Principle in Cosmology
Dec 10, 2024 (SPX)
The AP ranges from the weak interpretation-stating the universe's conditions have allowed intelligent life to emerge-to the strong interpretation, which implies...
Quantum materials research at University of Oldenburg secures ERC Grant
Dec 10, 2024 (SPX)
The ERC Consolidator Grant recognizes leading researchers across Europe and provides resources to establish their scientific independence. Out of 2313 applicati...
Webb telescope's largest study of universe expansion confirms challenge to cosmic theory
Dec 10, 2024 (SPX)
The new data confirms Hubble Space Telescope measurements of distances between nearby stars and galaxies, offering a crucial cross-check to address the mismatch...
What is the universe expanding into if it's already infinite?
Dec 10, 2024 (SPX)
The expansion of the universe is, in some ways, similar. But this analogy gets one thing wrong - while the dough expands into the baking pan, the universe doesn...
NASA's IXPE details shapes of structures at newly discovered black hole
Dec 08, 2024 (SPX)
The stellar-mass black hole, part of the binary system Swift J1727.8-1613, was discovered in the summer of 2023 during an unusual brightening event that briefly...
A connection between quantum theory and information theory demonstrated
Dec 08, 2024 (SPX)
To grasp the significance of this study, it's essential to revisit a core concept of quantum mechanics: wave-particle duality. This principle reveals that light...
Particle research gets closer to answering why we're here
Dec 06, 2024 (SPX)
University of Cincinnati Professor Alexandre Sousa helped outline the next 10 years of global research into the behavior of neutrinos, particles so tiny that th...
Astronomers uncover key clues to the formation of giant galaxies
Dec 05, 2024 (SPX)

Getting a deeper understanding of quark mixing
Dec 05, 2024 (SPX)
A remarkable feature of the Standard Model is quark mixing, the ability of one quark flavour to transform into another. While this phenomenon is well-establishe...
Controlling atomic-scale reactions marks a major leap forward
Dec 04, 2024 (SPX)
The ability to control reactions with single-molecule precision has been a goal for researchers worldwide. While previous milestones, such as IBM's manipulation...
'Spooky action' at a very short distance: Scientists map out quantum entanglement in protons
Dec 03, 2024 (SPX)
The results reveal that quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks that make up a proton's structure, are subject to so-called quantum entanglement. Thi...
BAE Systems completes key testing for NASA's SPHEREx Observatory mission
Dec 03, 2024 (SPX)
During its two-year mission, SPHEREx will use a highly advanced imager to map the entire sky four times with unprecedented detail, creating the highest-resoluti...
Searching for evidence of primordial black holes in planets and everyday materials
Dec 03, 2024 (SPX)
