Bright supernova offers new view of black hole birth
Jan 13, 2026 (SPX)
That picture has now changed with real time observations of the supernova SN 2022esa, which captured the collapse of a massive star leading to a supernova and t...
Quantum interferometer boosts sensitivity to tiny laser beam shifts
Jan 09, 2026 (SPX)
In many experiments and technologies, such as atomic force microscopy, detecting these minute positional changes is essential. Weak value amplification has show...
Dark star theory links JWST early universe anomalies
Jan 09, 2026 (SPX)
In the standard picture, the first stars formed in regions dominated by dark matter, at the centers of dark matter microhalos, a few hundred million years after...
Quantum light switch built from atomically thin mirror
Jan 09, 2026 (SPX)
Physicists Tom Hoekstra and Jorik van de Groep of the UvA-Institute of Physics fabricated an actively tunable metasurface only tens to hundreds of nanometers th...
Surrey Japan team to probe short lived atomic nuclei in cosmic element quest
Jan 09, 2026 (SPX)
The University of Surrey is partnering with researchers in Japan to develop instruments that can measure previously inaccessible isotopes, which are forms of ma...
Electrons lag behind the nucleus
Jan 07, 2026 (SPX)
To be able to mathematically capture the complex interplay between electrons and atomic nuclei and their motions in a solid, physicists had to make some simplif...
Quantum key method enables redundant storage of qubit data
Jan 07, 2026 (SPX)
Quantum computing stores and processes information in qubits, which can be implemented in individual electrons, photons, atoms, ions or tiny electrical currents...
Star like early galaxies challenge views of cosmic evolution
Jan 07, 2026 (SPX)
These objects show point like features that would normally place them in one of two categories, either stars within the Milky Way or quasars, the bright cores o...
Hybrid detector array sharpens measurements of neutron rich nuclei lifetimes
Jan 06, 2026 (SPX)
HALIMA integrates high resolution gamma spectroscopy with fast timing in one setup. Eight HPGe detectors are mounted on a central ring in a horizontal configura...
Superradiant spin teamwork yields self driven microwave signals
Jan 05, 2026 (SPX)
Dr Wenzel Kersten, first author of the study, explains that interactions among the spins, which might appear disordered, in fact drive the emission by allowing ...
Australian team maps quantum error memory over time
Jan 01, 2026 (SPX)
The researchers show that small inaccuracies in quantum processors can linger, evolve and correlate across different computational steps, creating a form of tem...
Single superconductor device shows Josephson junction behavior
Jan 01, 2026 (SPX)
In a conventional Josephson junction, two superconductors separated by a thin barrier share their superconducting state so that paired electrons move coherently...
Heat limits on communication in computers
Jan 01, 2026 (SPX)
Over the last decade, SFI Professor David Wolpert has led work on the thermodynamic costs of computation, focusing on the physical limits that govern how much e...
SPHEREx completes first full sky infrared map of the cosmos
Jan 01, 2026 (SPX)
SPHEREx, which stands for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer, surveys the sky from Earth orbit about 1...
Quantum staircase effect seen in ultracold atomic junction
Dec 26, 2025 (SPX)
In the experiment, the atoms collectively crossed the laser barrier without energy loss, as if it were transparent, through quantum tunneling, while the chemica...
Hybrid excitons speed ultrafast energy transfer at 2D organic interface
Dec 19, 2025 (SPX)
The team stacked a monolayer of the two dimensional semiconductor tungsten diselenide (WSe2) with a layer of the organic semiconductor PTCDA and investigated ho...
Conventional photon entanglement reveals thousands of hidden topologies in high dimensions
Dec 18, 2025 (SPX)
Many quantum optics laboratories generate entangled photons through spontaneous parametric downconversion, which naturally entangles the spatial degrees of free...
Thorium 229 nuclei driven by laser in opaque solid moves optical nuclear clock research forward
Dec 18, 2025 (SPX)
Laser control of atomic electron shells has been standard since the 1960s and underpins optical atomic clocks and many quantum information platforms. Only in 20...
Galaxy mergers light up fastest growing black holes
Dec 18, 2025 (SPX)
Active galactic nuclei are periods when supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies accrete surrounding matter and gas and emit intense radiation. Our ow...
Quasar X ray link to black hole environment found to evolve over cosmic time
Dec 14, 2025 (SPX)
Quasars, identified in the 1960s, rank among the brightest known cosmic sources and are powered by supermassive black holes that draw in surrounding matter. As ...
