Curved spacetime in the lab
Dec 12, 2022 (SPX)
In their research on ultracold quantum gases, they were able to simulate an entire family of curved universes to investigate different cosmological scenarios an...
Without more data, a black hole's origins can be spun in any direction
Dec 09, 2022 (SPX)
Astronomers are hoping to tease out which of these origin stories is more likely by analyzing the 69 confirmed binaries detected to date. But a new study finds ...
Brookhaven Lab to lead new 'saturated glue' theory collaboration
Dec 08, 2022 (SPX)
The SatURated GluE (SURGE) Topical Theory Collaboration aims to develop calculations and a theoretical framework for discovering this unique saturated form of g...
Nuclear theorists collaborate to explore 'heavy flavor' particles
Dec 08, 2022 (SPX)
These particles are made of quarks of the "charm" and "bottom" varieties, which are heavier and rarer than the "up" and "down" quarks that make up the protons a...
MIT researchers use quantum computing to observe entanglement
Dec 02, 2022 (SPX)
"Simulating strongly-interacting quantum systems, such as those that arise in quantum gravity, is one of the most exciting applications of quantum computers," s...
Nuclear popcorn: Heavy nucleus changes shapes at different energies
Dec 02, 2022 (SPX)
After a recent study out of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, researchers a...
The entanglement advantage
Nov 29, 2022 (SPX)
For the first time, scientists have entangled atoms for use as networked quantum sensors, specifically, atomic clocks and accelerometers. The research team's ex...
New interactive map lets you scroll through the Universe
Nov 21, 2022 (SPX)
"Growing up I was very inspired by astronomy pictures, stars, nebulae and galaxies, and now it's our time to create a new type of picture to inspire people," sa...
Black holes in eccentric orbit
Nov 21, 2022 (SPX)
When black holes collide in the universe, the clash shakes up space and time: the amount of energy released during the merger is so great that it causes space-t...
Webb observations point to a shorter cosmic dark age
Nov 17, 2022 (AFP)
Researchers using the powerful observatory have now published papers in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, documenting two exceptionally bright, excepti...
FRIB experiment pushes elements to the limit
Nov 15, 2022 (SPX)
Scientists used the one-of-a-kind facility to better understand nuclei, the collection of protons and neutrons found at the heart of atoms. Understanding these ...
Synthetic black holes radiate like real ones
Nov 11, 2022 (SPX)
Radiating black holes To achieve this goal, we might want to look at what manages to escape from black holes, rather than what gets swallowed. The event horizon...
Magnetic quantum fluid: extremely fluid in two ways
Nov 09, 2022 (SPX)
Fluids as we know them from daily life do not flow without resistance. Large pumps and turbines are needed to move water, and honey flows slowly off a spoon. Th...
New quasiparticle discovered in moire patterns
Nov 08, 2022 (SPX)
Supercomputer simulations have helped scientists reveal in a bilayer moire system a new species of an electronic phenomenon called an exciton, which is an elect...
Astronomers discover closest black hole to Earth
Nov 04, 2022 (SPX)
Black holes are the most extreme objects in the Universe. Supermassive versions of these unimaginably dense objects likely reside at the centers of all large ga...
From Graphene to Gravity: Exploring the Physics of Emergence
Nov 04, 2022 (SPX)
"In physics, boring means interesting," says Musser, a member of the Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, a physics think tank. Take air, for example. It obe...
Can cosmic inflation be ruled out
Nov 04, 2022 (SPX)
The astrophysicists, from the University of Cambridge, the University of Trento, and Harvard University, say that there is a clear, unambiguous signal in the co...
World's first optical atomic clock with highly charged ions
Nov 03, 2022 (SPX)
"Therefore, we expected that an optical atomic clock with highly charged ions would help us to better test these fundamental theories", explains PTB physicist L...
UNH research tests fundamental force advancing understanding of universe
Nov 02, 2022 (SPX)
"There's a lot still unanswered about both of those things, the proton and the strong force," said David Ruth, Ph.D. candidate in physics and lead author. "This...
Physicists confirm hitch in proton structure
Oct 20, 2022 (SPX)
According to Ruonan Li, first author on the new paper and a graduate student at Temple University, measurements of the proton's electric polarizability reveal h...
