Nuclear spin's impact on biological processes uncovered
Aug 01, 2023 (SPX)
Scientists have long believed that nuclear spin had no impact on biological processes. However, recent research has shown that certain isotopes behave different...
Unveiling the Quantum Enigma: Phase Transitions in Metals
Aug 01, 2023 (SPX)
In everyday scenarios, phase transitions can be abrupt, like water freezing into ice, resulting in an instant change in physical properties. On the other hand, ...
Precision Laser Spectroscopy and the Quantum Motion of Atomic Nuclei
Jul 31, 2023 (SPX)

Astronomers Reveal New Features of Galactic Black Holes
Jul 28, 2023 (SPX)
Stellar-mass black holes with masses of roughly 10 suns, for example, reveal their existence by eating materials from their companion stars. And in some instanc...
Astronomers reveal new features of galactic black holes
Jul 27, 2023 (SPX)
An international team of scientists, including UNLV astrophysicist Bing Zhang, reports in the July 26 issue of Nature a dedicated observational campaign on the ...
Has the standard cosmological model been broken or just cracked
Jul 20, 2023 (SPX)

NASA's IXPE fires up astronomers with new blazar findings
Jul 19, 2023 (SPX)
To understand why particles in the jet move with great speeds and energies, scientists look to NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer), which launched ...
Despite doubts from quantum physicists: Einstein's theory of relativity reaffirmed
Jul 14, 2023 (SPX)
This inconsistency between Einstein's gravitational theory and modern quantum theory is the reason why ever more precise tests of the equivalence principle are ...
Reinventing cosmology: uOttawa research puts age of universe at 26.7 - not 13.7 - billion years
Jul 12, 2023 (SPX)
"Our newly-devised model stretches the galaxy formation time by a several billion years, making the universe 26.7 billion years old, and not 13.7 as previously ...
Rice U. physicist to lead world's longest-running nuclear collider experiment
Jul 08, 2023 (SPX)
Together with Brookhaven Lab physicist Lijuan Ruan, Geurts will serve a three-year term as co-spokesperson for the STAR collaboration. This group of over 740 sc...
Earth's day was a constant 19.5 hours for over a billion years
Jul 06, 2023 (SPX)
They show that from approximately two billion years ago until 600 million years ago, an atmospheric tide driven by the sun countered the effect of the moon, kee...
Quasar 'clocks' show Universe was five times slower soon after the Big Bang
Jul 04, 2023 (SPX)
Einstein's general theory of relativity means that we should observe the distant - and hence ancient - universe running much slower than the present day. Howeve...
Astronomers witness energetic switch on of black hole
Jul 04, 2023 (SPX)
J221951-484240, known as J221951, is one of the most luminous transients - astrophysical objects that change their brightness over a short period of time - ever...
First direct visualization of a zero-field pair density wave
Jul 04, 2023 (SPX)
Scientists still have much to learn before room-temperature superconductivity can be realized, largely because superconductors are highly complex materials with...
Researchers propose new method to measure cosmic expansion
Jul 04, 2023 (SPX)
A team of researchers led by Souvik Jana at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, Bengaluru, have proposed a solution. Their paper, to be published...
Time appears five times slower in early universe: study
Jul 03, 2023 (AFP)
Einstein's theory of relativity predicts that because space is expanding, "we should see the distant universe run in slow motion," said Geraint Lewis, an astrop...
New driver for shapes of small quark-gluon plasma drops
Jun 30, 2023 (SPX)
QGP is a soup of the quarks and gluons that make up the protons and neutrons of atomic nuclei at the heart of all visible matter in the universe. Scientists thi...
