RIT scientists contribute to the first discovery of an intermediate-mass black hole
Sep 10, 2020 (SPX)
They detected the signal with the National Science Foundation's Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The two inspiralling black holes had...
An unexpected origin story for a lopsided black hole merger
Sep 03, 2020 (SPX)
The merger was first detected on April 12, 2019 as a gravitational wave that arrived at the detectors of both LIGO (the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave ...
Brazilian researcher proposes universal mechanism for ejection of matter by black holes
Sep 03, 2020 (SPX)
Every galaxy is thought to have a supermassive black hole at its center, but not all galaxies have, or still have, accretion disks. Those that do are known as a...
LIGO, Virgo detectors record collision of massive black holes
Sep 02, 2020 (UPI)
The size of the merger isn't all that's special about GW190521. One of the two giant black holes features a mass 85 times that of the sun, making it an "impossi...
UH Manoa researchers predict location of novel candidate for mysterious dark energy
Sep 02, 2020 (SPX)
In the mid-1960s, physicists first suggested that stellar collapse should not form true black holes, but should instead form Generic Objects of Dark Energy (GEO...
Can black hole fire up cold heart of the Phoenix
Sep 01, 2020 (SPX)
Galaxies are not distributed randomly in space. Through mutual gravitational attraction, galaxies gather together to form collections known as clusters. The spa...
New observations of black hole devouring a star reveal rapid disk formation
Aug 27, 2020 (SPX)
New TDE observations led by astronomers at UC Santa Cruz now provide clear evidence that debris from the star forms a rotating disk, called an accretion disk, a...
Spinning black hole powers jet by magnetic flux
Aug 24, 2020 (SPX)
When this intense radiation is emitted, the black hole remains hidden because the light rays near it are strongly bent leading to the appearance of a shadow. Th...
First ever observation of 'time crystals' interacting
Aug 18, 2020 (SPX)
The discovery, published in Nature Materials, may lead to applications in quantum information processing because time crystals automatically remain intact - coh...
Breakthrough extends quantum state stability by 10,000 times
Aug 14, 2020 (UPI)
Hundreds of studies have hinted at the power of quantum mechanics, and scientists have predicted quantum technologies will provide a speed boost to computers, b...
Physicists cast doubt on neutrino theory
Aug 12, 2020 (SPX)
UC College of Arts and Sciences associate professor Alexandre Sousa and assistant professor Adam Aurisano took part in an experiment at the Fermi National Accel...
Universe Is More Homogeneous Than Expected
Aug 03, 2020 (SPX)
The new KiDS map covers about 1,000 square degrees, which equates to 5% of the extragalactic sky. 31 million galaxies were used for the analysis. The galaxies a...
Simulating quantum 'time travel' disproves butterfly effect in quantum realm
Aug 03, 2020 (SPX)
"On a quantum computer, there is no problem simulating opposite-in-time evolution, or simulating running a process backwards into the past," said Nikolai Sinits...
Cosmic tango between the very small and the very large
Jul 30, 2020 (SPX)
While the differences in the theories occur at the tiniest of scales - much smaller than even a proton - they have consequences at the largest of accessible sca...
New approach refines the Hubble's constant and age of universe
Jul 28, 2020 (SPX)
Approaches to date the Big Bang, which gave birth to the universe, rely on mathematics and computational modeling, using distance estimates of the oldest stars,...
Atomtronic device could probe boundary between quantum, everyday worlds
Jul 27, 2020 (SPX)
"In a conventional SQUID, the quantum interference in electron currents can be used to make one of the most sensitive magnetic field detectors," said Changhyun ...
Filling in 11B years of the Universe's expansion history
Jul 21, 2020 (SPX)
The survey, of which Carnegie is an integral member, has been one of the most successful and influential in the history of astronomy. It operates out of both Ap...
Astrophysicists unveil biggest-ever 3D map of Universe
Jul 20, 2020 (AFP)
The efforts of hundreds of scientists from around 30 institutions worldwide have yielded a "complete story of the expansion of the universe", said Will Percival...
In a first, astronomers watch a black hole's corona disappear, then reappear
Jul 17, 2020 (SPX)
For the first time, astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have watched as a supermassive black hole's own corona, the ultrabright, billion-degree ring of high-energy...
Runaway star might explain black hole's disappearing act
Jul 17, 2020 (JPL)
But two years ago, astronomers watched in awe as X-rays from the black hole corona in a galaxy known as 1ES 1927+654 disappeared completely, fading by a factor ...
