Black hole-neutron star collisions may help settle dispute over Universe's expansion
Apr 29, 2021 (SPX)
Our two current best ways of estimating the Universe's rate of expansion - measuring the brightness and speed of pulsating and exploding stars, and looking at f...
ALMA discovers rotating infant galaxy with help of natural cosmic telescope
Apr 23, 2021 (SPX)
"Many of the galaxies that existed in the early Universe were so small that their brightness is well below the limit of the current largest telescopes on Earth ...
CERN restarts Large Hadron Collider in quest to unlock origins of the universe
Apr 22, 2021 (UPI)

Telescopes unite in unprecedented observations of famous black hole
Apr 15, 2021 (JPL)
Data from 19 observatories are being released that promise to give unparalleled insight into this black hole and the system it powers, and to improve tests of E...
How NASA's Roman Space Telescope will uncover lonesome black holes
Apr 14, 2021 (SPX)
The same survey will also provide the best opportunity yet to definitively detect solitary small black holes for the first time. Formed when a star with more th...
Novel theory addresses centuries-old physics problem
Apr 14, 2021 (SPX)
At the end of the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton succeeded in explaining the motion of the planets around the sun through a law of universal gravitation. He als...
Oldest evidence of Mayan calendar found in Guatemala
Apr 14, 2021 (UPI)
Acording to a new study, two fragments with a "7 deer" date notation date to between 300 and 200 BCE, based on radiocarbon dating. Authors of the study said tha...
Black holes like to eat, but have a variety of table manners
Apr 14, 2021 (SPX)
Astronomers have studied active galaxies since the 1950s. Active galaxies have a super-massive black hole at their centre that is swallowing matter. During thes...
Swiss watch expo switches to Shanghai after virtual debut
Apr 13, 2021 (AFP)
The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, now restyled as Watches and Wonders, was cancelled last year due to the coronavirus crisis. This year, with Euro...
Machine-learning methods lead to discovery of rare quadruply imaged quasars
Apr 09, 2021 (SPX)
Over the past four decades, astronomers had found about 50 of these "quadruply imaged quasars," or quads for short, which occur when the gravity of a massive ga...
First results from Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics
Apr 08, 2021 (SPX)
The strong evidence that muons deviate from the Standard Model calculation might hint at exciting new physics. Muons act as a window into the subatomic world an...
Geneva watch expo goes digital before Shanghai switch
Apr 07, 2021 (AFP)
The fair, one of the major annual gatherings for luxury watchmakers, was cancelled last year due to the pandemic but is going ahead virtually this year. The Sal...
New study sews doubt about the composition of 70 percent of our universe
Apr 01, 2021 (SPX)
For many years, this mechanism has been associated with the so-called cosmological constant, developed by Einstein in 1917, that refers to an unknown repellant ...
Scientists at CERN successfully laser-cool antimatter for the first time
Apr 01, 2021 (SPX)
In a paper published in Nature, the collaboration reports that the temperature of antihydrogen atoms trapped inside a magnetic bottle is reduced when the atoms ...
String theory solves mystery about how particles behave outside a black hole photon sphere
Mar 30, 2021 (SPX)
In a quantum theory of point particles, a fundamental quantity is the correlation function, which measures the probability for a particle to propagate from one ...
Black hole seeds key to galaxies behemoths
Mar 30, 2021 (SPX)
The recently discovered 'Goldilocks' black hole is part of a missing link between two populations of black holes: small black holes made from stars and supermas...
The very first structures in the Universe
Mar 26, 2021 (SPX)
The behaviour of these objects mimics the distribution of galaxies in today's Universe. In contrast to today, however, these primordial structures are microscop...
New results challenge leading theory in physics
Mar 24, 2021 (SPX)
According to the established laws of particle physics - the so-called Standard Model - it is expected that beauty quarks decay with the same probability into a ...
World's first market-ready diamond-based quantum accelerator set for release
Mar 24, 2021 (SPX)
Quantum Brilliance harnesses synthetic diamonds to build quantum accelerators that do not require near absolute zero temperature or complex laser systems to ope...
Peering into a galaxy's dusty core to study an active supermassive black hole
Mar 18, 2021 (SPX)
Centaurus A is a giant of a galaxy, but its appearances in telescope observations can be deceiving. Dark dust lanes and young blue star clusters, which crisscro...
