Scientists demonstrate pear shaped atomic nuclei
May 14, 2013 (SPX)
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have shown that some atomic nuclei can assume the shape of a pear which contributes to our understanding of nuclear st...
Chaos proves superior to order
May 13, 2013 (SPX)
An international team of physicists, including researchers from the Universities of York and St. Andrews, has demonstrated that chaos can beat order - at least ...
Exotic atoms hold clues to unsolved physics puzzle at the dawn of the universe
May 10, 2013 (SPX)
An international team of physicists has found the first direct evidence of pear shaped nuclei in exotic atoms. The findings could advance the search for a new f...
Herschel finds hot gas on the menu for Milky Way's black hole
May 10, 2013 (ESA)
ESA's Herschel space observatory has made detailed observations of surprisingly hot molecular gas that may be orbiting or falling towards the supermassive black...
Birth of a Black Hole
May 08, 2013 (SPX)
When a massive star exhausts its fuel, it collapses under its own gravity and produces a black hole, an object so dense that not even light can escape its gravi...
Black holes may 'announce' their birth with a flash of cosmic light
May 06, 2013 (UPI)
A new kind of cosmic flash may signal something never observed before, the birth of a black hole, a scientist at the California Institute of Technology says. To...
Does antimatter fall up or down
May 01, 2013 (SPX)
atoms that make up ordinary matter fall down, so do antimatter atoms fall up? Do they experience gravity the same way as ordinary atoms, or is there such a thin...
Movement of pyrrole molecules defy 'classical' physics
Apr 29, 2013 (SPX)
New research shows that movement of the ring-like molecule pyrrole over a metal surface runs counter to the centuries-old laws of 'classical' physics that gover...
Einstein was right - So far
Apr 29, 2013 (SPX)
An international team has discovered an exotic double object that consists of a tiny, but unusually heavy neutron star that spins 25 times each second, orbited ...
LHCb Experiment Observes New Matter-Antimatter Difference
Apr 25, 2013 (SPX)
The LHCb collaboration at CERN has submitted a paper to Physical Review Letters on the first observation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the decays of the par...
Using Black Holes to Measure the Universe's Rate of Expansion
Apr 25, 2013 (SPX)
A few years ago, researchers revealed that the universe is expanding at a much faster rate than originally believed - a discovery that earned a Nobel Prize in 2...
Einstein's theory holds up in deep space
Apr 25, 2013 (AFP)
Some 7,000 light years away, Einstein's theory of general relativity has stood up to its most intense test yet, scientists said on Thursday. The project involve...
European astronomers spot pair of supermassive black holes
Apr 23, 2013 (UPI)
Luck for the average pedestrian is happening upon a crisp dollar bill tumbling down the sidewalk. For European astronomers, it's happening to be looking at the ...
Early Galaxies Were Ahead Of Their Time
Apr 22, 2013 (SPX)
Astronomers using Europe's Herschel Space Observatory have discovered a distant galaxy that challenges the current theories of galaxy evolution. Seen when the u...
A new twist for quantum systems
Apr 22, 2013 (SPX)
To maneuver a car into a parking spot parallel to the road can be quite a challenge. It would be an easy task, of course, if only the vehicle could move sideway...
Majority of Americans doubt the Big Bang theory
Apr 21, 2013 (UPI)
In a new national poll on America's scientific acumen, more than half of respondents said they were "not too confident" or "not at all confident" that "the univ...
Photons run out of loopholes
Apr 17, 2013 (SPX)
A team led by the Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger has now carried out an experiment with photons, in which they have closed an important loophole. The resear...
Physicists discover new type of particle using Large Hadron Collider
Apr 15, 2013 (UPI)
A new and exotic atomic particle -- one that doesn't mesh with traditional particle physics models -- has been discovered by researchers at Syracuse University....
Quantum tricks drive magnetic switching into the fast lane
Apr 06, 2013 (SPX)
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, Iowa State University, and the University of Crete in Greece have found a new way to switch magn...
On wings of light
Apr 06, 2013 (SPX)
LMU physicists have, for the first time, successfully transmitted a secure quantum code through the atmosphere from an aircraft to a ground station. Can worldwi...
