Princeton-led team discovers unexpected quantum behavior in kagome lattice
Jun 18, 2021 (SPX)
The researchers discovered the new type of ordering in a material containing atoms arranged in a peculiar structure known as a kagome lattice. While researchers...
When testing Einstein's theory of general relativity, small modeling errors add up fast
Jun 18, 2021 (SPX)
The findings, published June 16 in the journal iScience, suggest that catalogs with as few as 10 to 30 events with a signal-to-background noise ratio of 20 (whi...
Novel chirped pulses defy 'conventional wisdom'
Jun 18, 2021 (SPX)
Now researchers at the University's Institute of Optics have produced those same high-powered pulses - known as chirped pulses - in a way that works even with r...
How a supermassive black hole originates
Jun 18, 2021 (SPX)
A team led by a theoretical physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has come up with an explanation: a massive seed black hole that the collapse o...
Scientists put the quantum freeze on human-scale object
Jun 17, 2021 (UPI)
The research team, led by quantum physicists at MIT, detailed their feat in a new paper, published Thursday in the journal Science. Most everything and everyone...
Russian scientists demonstrate perfect light absorption by single nanoparticle
Jun 16, 2021 (SPX)
Light can interact with matter in a variety of ways: it can refract, dissipate, or be absorbed by it. Usually, all three processes occur simultaneously. In most...
Discovery of the largest rotation in the universe
Jun 15, 2021 (SPX)
Cosmic filaments are huge bridges of galaxies and dark matter that connect clusters of galaxies to each other. They funnel galaxies towards and into large clust...
Novel materials: Sound waves traveling backwards
Jun 11, 2021 (SPX)
These computer-designed metamaterials, produced by ultra-precise 3D laser printing, might be used in the future to manipulate or direct sound in ways that have ...
A study shows the unexpected effect of black holes beyond their own galaxies
Jun 10, 2021 (SPX)
Theoretical predictions suggest that as these black holes grow they generate sufficient energy to heat up and drive out the gas within galaxies to great distanc...
Finding quasars: Rare extragalactic objects are now easier to spot
Jun 09, 2021 (SPX)
A quasar is a region of spectacular luminosity at the centre of a galaxy, powered by a supermassive black hole - the largest type of black hole, with a mass tha...
From burglar alarms to black hole detectors
Jun 09, 2021 (SPX)
In a new article, published on 4 June in Physical Review Research, the scientists describe in more detail how two types of noise could be reduced. They suggest ...
Axions could be the fossil of the universe researchers have been waiting for
Jun 08, 2021 (SPX)
How far back into the Universe's past can we look today? In the electromagnetic spectrum, observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background - commonly referred to...
Quark-gluon plasma flows like water, according to new study
May 28, 2021 (SPX)
A new study, published in the journal SciPost Physics, has highlighted the surprising similarities between quark-gluon plasma, the first matter thought to have ...
Study reveals new details on what happened in the first microsecond of Big Bang
May 27, 2021 (SPX)
And even though we know that this fast expansion created particles, atoms, stars, galaxies and life as we know it today, the details of how it all happened are ...
Similar states of activity identified in supermassive and stellar mass black holes
May 27, 2021 (SPX)
They have classified them using the behaviour of their closest "relations", the stellar mass black holes in X-ray binaries. The article has just been published ...
Astrophysicists launch largest sky survey yet to map the Universe
May 18, 2021 (SPX)
By surveying a vast volume of space, the scientists of the DESI collaboration - including a dozen from the CfA - will be able to address a myriad of questions i...
Illuminating the Cosmic Dark Ages with a Lunar radio telescope
May 07, 2021 (SPX)
The LCRT's primary objective would be to measure the long-wavelength radio waves generated by the cosmic Dark Ages - a period that lasted for a few hundred mill...
A new window to see hidden side of magnetized universe
May 07, 2021 (SPX)
As clusters of galaxies grow through collisions with surrounding matter, they create bow shocks and wakes in their dilute plasma. The plasma motion induced by t...
Machine learning accelerates cosmological simulations
May 05, 2021 (SPX)
Cosmological simulations are an essential part of teasing out the many mysteries of the universe, including those of dark matter and dark energy. But until now,...
Small galaxies likely played important role in evolution of the Universe
May 04, 2021 (SPX)
The research is published in The Astrophysical Journal, a peer-reviewed scientific journal of astrophysics and astronomy. After the Big Bang, when the Universe ...
