One particle on two paths: Quantum physics is right
May 12, 2022 (SPX)
Normally, however, this can only be proven by carrying out the experiment over and over again and evaluating the results of many particle detections at the end....
Astronomers reveal first image of black hole at Milky Way's centre
May 12, 2022 (AFP)
The image - produced by a global team of scientists known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration - is the first, direct visual confirmation of the p...
A new window into the world of attosecond phenomena
May 10, 2022 (SPX)
Whether in the depths of a cell or inside a test tube, chemical reactions involving changes in the configuration of electrons in atoms and molecules occur with ...
Warp speed 'Unruh effect' can finally be tested in the lab
May 10, 2022 (SPX)
One such theory is on the Unruh effect. When astronauts in a spacecraft undergo super strong acceleration and see the light of stars stream by, then the Unruh e...
Keeping time with the cosmos
May 10, 2022 (SPX)
Humanity is intimately connected with the idea of time. Historically, we used the cosmos itself - stars, the sun, and the moon - to measure time and coordinate ...
NASA's Swift tracks potential magnetic flip of monster black hole
May 06, 2022 (SPX)
In a comprehensive new study, an international science team links the eruption's unusual characteristics to changes in the black hole's environment that likely ...
NASA visualization rounds up the best-known black hole systems
May 04, 2022 (SPX)
Stars born with more than about 20 times the Sun's mass end their lives as black holes. As the name implies, black holes don't glow on their own because nothing...
Search reveals eight new sources of black hole echoes
May 03, 2022 (SPX)
Now MIT astronomers are looking for flashes and echoes from nearby black hole X-ray binaries - systems with a star orbiting, and occasionally being eaten away b...
QuantX Labs and SmartSat CRC accelerate the development of an orbiting space clock
May 03, 2022 (SPX)
QuantX's clock delivers a quantum leap in timing performance by using high-precision lasers to interrogate a specially prepared vapour of Rubidium atoms. Precis...
Engineers use artificial intelligence to capture the complexity of breaking waves
May 01, 2022 (SPX)
Now, MIT engineers have found a new way to model how waves break. The team used machine learning along with data from wave-tank experiments to tweak equations t...
Controlling mirror images
May 01, 2022 (SPX)
An international team of scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and the Prokhorov General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy ...
Physicists embark on a hunt for a long-sought quantum glow
Apr 28, 2022 (SPX)
Since the 1970s when it was first proposed, the Unruh effect has eluded detection, mainly because the probability of seeing the effect is infinitesimally small,...
Study points to physical principles that underlie quantum Darwinism
Apr 28, 2022 (SPX)
However, the great debates that accompanied the formulation of quantum theory, involving especially Einstein and Bohr, did not lead to conclusive results. Most ...
In Einstein's footsteps and beyond
Apr 28, 2022 (SPX)
Since the beginning of quantum physics, how light moves and interacts with matter around it has mostly been described and understood mathematically through the ...
A roadmap for deepening understanding of a puzzling universal process
Apr 22, 2022 (SPX)
Reconnection converts the magnetic field energy to particle eruptions in astrophysical plasmas by snapping apart and explosively reconnecting the magnetic field...
Time might not exist say physicists and philosophers
Apr 22, 2022 (SPX)
But developments in physics suggest the non-existence of time is an open possibility, and one that we should take seriously. How can that be, and what would it ...
Black holes raze thousands of stars to fuel growth
Apr 21, 2022 (SPX)
While astronomers have previously found many examples of black holes tearing stars apart, little evidence has been seen for destruction on such a large scale. T...
Will LISA see the gravity waves 10 picoseconds after the Big Bang
Apr 20, 2022 (SPX)
Phase transitions, such as the boiling of water or the melting of a metal, are commonplace but fascinating phenomena that spur surprises decades after decades. ...
Most distant star to date spotted - but how much further back in time could we see?
Apr 15, 2022 (The Conversation)
Astronomers see into the deep past when we view distant objects. Light travels at a constant speed (3x108 metres per second) so the further away an object is, t...
Breaking news from the dawn of the universe
Apr 14, 2022 (SPX)
"The discovered object connects two rare populations of celestial objects, namely dusty starbursts and luminous quasars, and thereby provides a new avenue towar...
