X-ray imaging on the attosecond timescale
Feb 22, 2013 (SPX)
In the blink of an eye, more attoseconds have expired than the age of Earth measured in - minutes. A lot more. To be precise, an attosecond is one billionth of ...
The quantum coin toss
Feb 21, 2013 (SPX)
All unpredictability in the world around us, be it the outcome of a coin flip or the weather conditions a month from now, is a fundamentally quantum rather than...
Rare Explosion May Have Created Our Galaxy's Youngest Black Hole
Feb 19, 2013 (SPX)
The highly distorted supernova remnant shown in this image may contain the most recent black hole formed in the Milky Way galaxy. The image combines X-rays from...
Europe mulling plans for huge, next-generation atom smasher
Feb 19, 2013 (UPI)
Scientists at Europe's particle physics laboratory CERN say they're considering a successor to the world's largest, most powerful and expensive atom smasher. Th...
First Three-Year LHC Running Period Reaches A Conclusion
Feb 18, 2013 (SPX)
At 7:24 a.m., the shift crew in the CERN [1] Control Center extracted the beams from the Large Hadron Collider, bringing the machine's first three-year running ...
Physicists Extract Photons From Diamond Ring
Feb 15, 2013 (SPX)
Physicists in the US are the first to make an integrated device that extracts photons from a tiny piece of diamond before the light is sent through a waveguide ...
'God particle' collider to be upgraded
Feb 14, 2013 (UPI)
Physicists at CERN, the European nuclear research center, say they've shut off the particle beams of the Large Hadron Collider for a two-year repair period. The...
Black Holes Growing Faster Than Expected
Feb 14, 2013 (SPX)
Lurking at the centers of most galaxies are black holes that can weigh anywhere from one million to one billion times as much as the Sun. New research, publishe...
Does probability come from quantum physics?
Feb 08, 2013 (SPX)
Ever since Austrian scientist Erwin Schrodinger put his unfortunate cat in a box, his fellow physicists have been using something called quantum theory to expla...
Hubble Catches the Moment the Lights Went Out
Feb 06, 2013 (SPX)
The further away you look, the further back in time you see. Astronomers use this fact to study the evolution of the Universe by looking at nearby and more dist...
Gas promises bumper black hole weigh-in
Feb 04, 2013 (SPX)
A new way of measuring the mass of supermassive black holes could revolutionise our understanding of how they form and help to shape galaxies. The technique, de...
New method of measuring the mass of supermassive black holes
Feb 01, 2013 (SPX)
In a letter to Nature, an international team of astronomers, including Marc Sarzi from the University of Hertfordshire, report the exciting discovery of a new w...
NYU physicists shine a light on particle assembly
Feb 01, 2013 (SPX)
New York University physicists have developed a method for moving microscopic particles with the flick of a light switch. Their work, reported in the journal Sc...
More than one brain behind E=mc2
Jan 28, 2013 (SPX)
Two American physicists outline the role played by Austrian physicist Friedrich Hasenohrl in establishing the proportionality between the energy (E) of a quanti...
Penn Physicists Help Show Math Behind Growth of 'Coffee Rings'
Jan 23, 2013 (SPX)
Last year, a team of University of Pennsylvania physicists showed how to undo the "coffee-ring effect," a commonplace occurrence when drops of liquid with suspe...
Black holes growing faster than expected
Jan 22, 2013 (SPX)
Astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia have discovered how supermassive black holes grow - and it's not what was expected. For years, ...
Cheating to Create the Perfect Simulation
Jan 22, 2013 (SPX)
The planet Earth will die - if not before, then when the Sun collapses. This is going to happen in approximately seven billion years. In the universe however th...
'Background' light of universe measured
Jan 21, 2013 (UPI)
The brightness of the background of light photons that has filled the universe since its formation has been measured for the first time, French researchers say....
Russian science head urges going ahead on particle accelerator
Jan 21, 2013 (UPI)
Russia should move ahead with the building of a particle accelerator in Siberia to study exotic particles, the head of the country's Academy of Sciences says. T...
A rock is a clock: Physicist uses matter to tell time
Jan 15, 2013 (SPX)
Ever since he was a kid growing up in Germany, Holger Muller has been asking himself a fundamental question: What is time? That question has now led Muller, an ...
