Innovative X-ray lobster-eye mission set to launch
Jan 01, 2024 (ESA)
Einstein Probe is a collaboration led by CAS with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), Germany. In r...
Fireworks, war and quakes as world tumbles into 2024
Jan 01, 2024 (AFP)
Many around the world are hoping to shake off surging living costs, global tumult and extreme weather in the coming year, which heralds elections for half the p...
Particle physicists put forward research priorities for coming decade
Dec 12, 2023 (SPX)
The report by the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) was approved Friday, Dec. 8, by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) and will be ...
Probing the Mysteries of Perovskite Crystals: Researchers Shed Light on Electron-Phonon Coupling
Dec 08, 2023 (SPX)
Halide perovskites have garnered significant attention for their exceptional optical properties, but the underlying mechanisms behind their performance have rem...
New theory unites Einstein's gravity with quantum mechanics
Dec 05, 2023 (SPX)
Modern physics is founded upon two pillars: quantum theory on the one hand, which governs the smallest particles in the universe, and Einstein's theory of gener...
A new possible explanation for the Hubble tension
Dec 04, 2023 (SPX)
The expansion of the universe causes the galaxies to move away from each other. The speed at which they do this is proportional to the distance between them. Fo...
Dutch astronomers prove last piece of gas feedback-feeding loop of black hole
Dec 01, 2023 (SPX)
Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies have long been known to emit enormous amounts of energy. This causes the surrounding gas to heat up and flow...
With a quantum squeeze, clocks could keep even more precise time
Dec 01, 2023 (SPX)
A clock's stability depends on the noise in its environment. A slight wind can throw a pendulum's swing out of sync. And heat can disrupt the oscillations of at...
Parsing the puzzle of nucleon spin
Nov 30, 2023 (SPX)
A particle's spin is one of its basic characteristics, like its mass or electric charge, and physicists have long tried to nail down the dynamics at work behind...
Everything, everywhere all at once
Nov 30, 2023 (SPX)
When she was 12 years old, Konig decided the place to find answers was in physics. A family friend was a physicist, and she attributed her interest in the field...
Physicists discover molecule-like structure of nuclear ground state
Nov 29, 2023 (SPX)
The atomic nucleus, a quantum many-body system composed of protons and neutrons, is incredibly small (only about one-ten-thousandth the size of an atom), but it...
The secret life of an electromagnon
Nov 29, 2023 (SPX)
Within the atomic lattice of a solid, particles and their various properties cooperate in wave like motions known as collective excitations. When atoms in a lat...
Compact accelerator technology achieves major energy milestone
Nov 28, 2023 (SPX)
Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, several national laboratories, European universities and the Texas-based company TAU Systems Inc. have demon...
Scientists move closer to long-theorized ultraprecise nuclear clock
Nov 21, 2023 (SPX)
For decades, the standard reference tool for ultraprecise timekeeping has been the atomic clock. Scientists have known that an even more precise and reliable ti...
NASA's Cold Atom Lab sets stage for quantum chemistry in space
Nov 16, 2023 (JPL)
Quantum tools are already used in everything from cellphones to GPS to medical devices. In the future, they could be used to enhance the study of planets, inclu...
Galactic 'lightsabers': Answering longstanding questions about jets from black holes
Nov 15, 2023 (SPX)
Almost everything, it turns out. "Even though black holes are defined as objects from which nothing can escape, one of the astonishing predictions of Einstein's...
Europe's quantum decade extends into space
Nov 15, 2023 (ESA)
The same is true in space: ESA is currently sending a quantum-enabled probe to Jupiter, developing communications based on quantum technologies and planning fly...
Autonomous lab discovers best-in-class quantum dot in mere hours
Nov 14, 2023 (SPX)
The new system, called SmartDope, was developed to address a longstanding challenge regarding enhancing properties of materials called perovskite quantum dots v...
Unlocking the secrets of spin with high-harmonic probes
Nov 13, 2023 (SPX)
In a new Science Advances publication, the JILA team-along with collaborators from universities in Sweden, Greece, and Germany-probed the spin dynamics within a...
Physicists trap electrons in a 3D crystal for the first time
Nov 09, 2023 (SPX)
But when a material's electrons are trapped together, they can settle into the exact same energy state and start to behave as one. This collective, zombie-like ...
