Astrophysicists confirm the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe
Jun 02, 2023 (SPX)
The first billion years of the universe's life were a crucial period in its evolution. After the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago, the universe ex...
Eventually everything will evaporate, not only black holes
Jun 02, 2023 (SPX)
Due to Hawking radiation, black holes will eventually evaporate, but the event horizon is not as crucial as had been believed. Gravity and the curvature of spac...
The 'breath' between atoms - a new building block for quantum technology
Jun 02, 2023 (SPX)
The researchers also developed a device that could serve as a new type of building block for quantum technologies, which are widely anticipated to have many fut...
Subtle signs of fluctuations in critical point search
Jun 02, 2023 (SPX)
New findings from members of RHIC's STAR Collaboration published in Physical Review Letters hint that calculations predicting how many lightweight nuclei should...
Study: Scientists use X-ray to identify single atom for first time
May 31, 2023 (UPI)
Results from the research conducted by a team led by Argonne National Laboratory scientist Saw Wai Hla on the groundbreaking X-ray achievement were posted in th...
Fractons as information storage: Not yet quite tangible, but close
May 26, 2023 (SPX)
Fractons are fractions of spin excitations and are not allowed to possess kinetic energy. As a consequence, they are completely stationary and immobile. This ma...
First measurements of hypernuclei flow at RHIC
May 26, 2023 (SPX)
Such strange matter is thought to be abundant in the hearts of neutron stars, which are among the densest, most exotic objects in the universe. While blasting o...
Keeping time with an atomic nucleus
May 26, 2023 (SPX)
Atomic clocks measure time so precisely that they gain or lose less than a second every 30 billion years. With so-called nuclear clocks, it would be possible to...
NASA's Hubble hunts for intermediate-sized black hole close to home
May 24, 2023 (SPX)
Like intense gravitational potholes in the fabric of space, virtually all black holes seem to come in two sizes: small and humongous. It's estimated that our ga...
Boost for the quantum internet
May 24, 2023 (SPX)
As quantum information cannot simply be copied and amplified, 25 years ago Hans Briegel, Wolfgang Dur, Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller, then all at the Universit...
Asymmetry in laws of physics could shed light on our existence
May 24, 2023 (SPX)
Symmetry is a tidy and attractive idea that falls apart in our untidy universe. Indeed, since the 1960s, some kind of broken symmetry has been required to expla...
Has Gaia found missing link in black hole evolution
May 24, 2023 (ESA)
It is normal for globular clusters to have dark centres made up of many dead stars. But the mass at the centre of Messier 4 looks different - despite being espe...
Can Higgs reach the Hidden Valley
May 19, 2023 (SPX)
When talking about the 'hidden valley', our first thoughts are of dragons rather than sound science. However, in high-energy physics, this picturesque name is g...
Curved spacetime in a quantum simulator
May 18, 2023 (SPX)
This is partly because the mathematics in this field is highly complicated. At the same time, it is tough to perform suitable experiments: One would have to cre...
Uncovering universal physics in the dynamics of a quantum system
May 18, 2023 (SPX)
"Many major advances in physics over the last century have concerned the behavior of quantum systems with many particles," said David Weiss, Distinguished Profe...
Seeing electron orbital signatures
May 16, 2023 (SPX)
Scientists at UT Austin, Princeton University, and ExxonMobil have directly observed the signatures of electron orbitals in two different transition-metal atoms...
Tidal shocks can light up the remains of a star being pulled apart by a black hole
May 15, 2023 (SPX)
These black holes weigh millions or even billions of times the mass of the Sun and typically reside in the centres of quiet galaxies. As a star moves closer to ...
Study reveals new ways for exotic quasiparticles to relax
May 15, 2023 (SPX)
The new work, based on sandwiching tiny flakes of a material called perovskite in between two precisely spaced reflective surfaces, is detailed in the journal N...
New measurement of Universe's expansion weighs on longstanding debate
May 12, 2023 (SPX)
The work is divided into two papers, respectively published in Science, one of the world's top peer-reviewed academic journals, and The Astrophysical Journal, a...
Testing a theory of supermassive black holes with 100 newly described 'blazars'
May 11, 2023 (SPX)
A paper describing the blazars and the theory has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal, and the peer-reviewed accepted version appears onl...
