Quantum marbles in a bowl of light
Jan 01, 2022 (SPX)
Quantum computers are highly sophisticated machines that rely on the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. This should enable them to handle c...
Astronomers capture black hole eruption spanning 16 times the full Moon in the sky
Dec 27, 2021 (SPX)
The emission is powered by a central black hole in the galaxy Centaurus A, about 12 million light years away. As the black hole feeds on in-falling gas, it ejec...
'Cyborg' artist who 'hears' colour turns to time travel
Dec 20, 2021 (AFP)
Well-known in Spain and with an international following that enabled him to meet the likes of Leonardo di Caprio and Tom Cruise, Harbisson is now testing out a ...
Did black holes form immediately after the Big Bang?
Dec 17, 2021 (ESA)
Nico Cappelluti (University of Miami), Gunther Hasinger (ESA Science Director) and Priyamvada Natarajan (Yale University), suggest that black holes existed sinc...
Are black holes and dark matter the same
Dec 17, 2021 (SPX)
That's the implication of a study by astrophysicists at the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency that suggests that black holes h...
Astronomers Spy Quartet of Cavities from Giant Black Holes
Dec 17, 2021 (SPX)
Galaxy clusters are the largest structures in the universe held together by gravity. They are a mixture of hundreds or even thousands of individual galaxies, en...
Challenging Einstein's greatest theory with extreme stars
Dec 15, 2021 (SPX)
The international team looked to the stars - a pair of extreme stars called pulsars to be precise - through seven radio telescopes across the globe. And they us...
Super-bright stellar explosion is likely a dying star giving birth to a black hole or neutron star
Dec 15, 2021 (SPX)
Now an MIT-led team has found strong evidence for the signal's source. In addition to a bright optical flash, the scientists detected a strobe-like pulse of hig...
Einstein wins again
Dec 15, 2021 (SPX)
More than 100 years after Albert Einstein presented his theory of gravity, scientists around the world continue their efforts to find flaws in general relativit...
Closing in on the first light in the Universe
Dec 15, 2021 (SPX)
"Finding the weak signal of this first light will help us understand how the early stars and galaxies formed," says Dr Christene Lynch from ASTRO 3D, the ARC Ce...
The tetra-neutron - experiment finds evidence for a long-sought particle comprising four neutrons
Dec 10, 2021 (SPX)
While nuclear physicists agree that there are no systems in the universe made of only protons, they have been searching for particles comprising two, three or f...
Einstein finally warms up to quantum mechanics?
Dec 10, 2021 (SPX)
A research team at Kyoto University's Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics has now proposed a novel approach to this longstanding problem by defining energy...
Machine Learning decodes Tremors of the Universe
Dec 10, 2021 (SPX)
These gravitational waves propagate through the Universe at the speed of light, and are detected by observatories in the USA (LIGO) and Italy (Virgo). Scientist...
Research reveals how plasma swirling around black holes can produce heat and light
Dec 10, 2021 (SPX)
The process, known as magnetic reconnection, also jettisons huge plumes of plasma billions of miles in length. These findings can increase basic understanding o...
NASA's IXPE X-ray telescope will study neutron stars, pulsars, black holes
Dec 09, 2021 (UPI)
The $214 million IXPE satellite, or X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, will orbit the Earth as the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays fr...
Gravitational waves could be key to answering why more matter was left over after Big Bang
Dec 09, 2021 (SPX)
The reason humans exist is because at some time in the first second of the Universe's existence, somehow more matter was produced than anti-matter. The asymmetr...
The uneven universe
Dec 06, 2021 (SPX)
Physicists Michael te Vrugt and Prof. Raphael Wittkowski from the Institute of Theoretical Physics and the Center for Soft Nanoscience (SoN) at the University o...
Harvard-led researchers document the presence of quantum spin liquids, a never-before-seen state of matter
Dec 03, 2021 (SPX)
This bizarre state of matter is called a quantum spin liquid and, contrary to the name, has nothing to do with everyday liquids like water. Instead, it's all ab...
Record-breaking simulations of large-scale structure formation in the universe
Dec 02, 2021 (SPX)
In a study published this month in SC '21: Proceedings of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, researc...
Texas astronomers discover strangely massive black hole in Milky Way satellite galaxy
Dec 02, 2021 (SPX)
The team decided to study Leo I because of its peculiarity. Unlike most dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, Leo I does not contain much dark matter. Research...
