Exploring mass dependence in electron-hole clusters
Jun 19, 2020 (SPX)
Strangely, the masses of each particle inside a cluster can be different to their masses when they are on their own. However, physicists aren't yet entirely cle...
Quasar jets are particle accelerators thousands of light-years long
Jun 18, 2020 (SPX)
This discovery shakes up current scenarios for the behaviour of such plasma jets. The work, published in the journal Nature on June 18th, 2020, was carried out ...
This supernova in a lab mimics the cosmic blast's splendid aftermath
Jun 18, 2020 (SPX)
"It's six feet tall and looks like a big slice of pizza that's about four feet wide at the top," said Ben Musci of the supernova machine he built for a study at...
Physicists propose a novel approach to Bose-Einstein condensation
Jun 18, 2020 (SPX)
In the journal "Physical Review Letters", the quantum physicist Christian Schilling from the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich and his collaborators from the ...
Innovative model provides insight into the black hole at the center of our galaxy
Jun 15, 2020 (SPX)
Catching a good photo of the celestial beast will require a better understanding of what's going on around it, which has proved challenging due to the vastly di...
Newly observed phenomenon could lead to new quantum devices
Jun 15, 2020 (SPX)
The way electrons interact with phonons - which are essentially vibrations passing through a crystalline material - determines the physical processes that take ...
NASA's Cold Atom Lab Takes One Giant Leap for Quantum Science
Jun 15, 2020 (JPL)
A new study in the journal Nature builds on that legacy. In July 2018, NASA's Cold Atom Lab became the first facility to produce that fifth state of matter, cal...
Scientists carry out first space-based measurement of neutron lifetime
Jun 12, 2020 (SPX)
Knowing the lifetime of neutrons is key to understanding the formation of elements after the Big Bang that formed the universe 13.8 billion years ago. Scientist...
New distance measurements bolster challenge to basic model of universe
Jun 12, 2020 (SPX)
The new distance measurements allowed astronomers to refine their calculation of the Hubble Constant, the expansion rate of the Universe, a value important for ...
Astrophysicists confirm cornerstone of Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Jun 11, 2020 (SPX)
The new research shows that the theory holds for strongly self-gravitating objects such as neutron stars. Using a radio telescope, scientists can very accuratel...
Quantum 'fifth state of matter' observed in space for first time
Jun 11, 2020 (AFP)
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) -- the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago --...
Black hole's heart still beating
Jun 10, 2020 (SPX)
X-ray satellite observations spotted the repeated beat after its signal had been blocked by our Sun for a number of years. Astronomers say this is the most long...
Cosmic quasars embrace 1970s fashion trend
Jun 09, 2020 (SPX)
By effectively measuring these "cosmic pants," the researchers aim to interpret the workings of the central engine that accelerates matter to nearly the speed o...
Shock waves created in the lab mimic supernova particle accelerators
Jun 09, 2020 (SPX)
Now, scientists have devised a new way to study the inner workings of astrophysical shock waves by creating a scaled-down version of the shock in the lab. They ...
World's most sensitive strain sensor can detect the weight of a feather
Jun 04, 2020 (UPI)
The sensor is significantly more stretchable, capable of enduring 80 times greater strain than current commercial sensors, and is able to register resistance ch...
Hubble makes surprising find in the early universe
Jun 04, 2020 (SPX)
The exploration of the very first galaxies remains a significant challenge in modern astronomy. We do not know when or how the first stars and galaxies in the U...
Black holes could be like a hologram
Jun 04, 2020 (SPX)
In this way, these cosmic bodies, as affirmed by quantum theories, could be incredibly complex and concentrate an enormous amount of information inside themselv...
Large simulation finds new origin of supermassive black holes
Jun 03, 2020 (SPX)
Almost every galaxy in the modern Universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. Their masses can sometimes reach up to 10 billion times the mass of the ...
Astronomers find cosmic golden needle buried for two decades
Jun 02, 2020 (SPX)
This celestial object, which is an active galaxy emitting enormous amounts of energy due to a black hole devouring material, is an exciting object in itself. Fi...
MAXI J1820+070: Black Hole Outburst Caught on Video
Jun 02, 2020 (SPX)
The black hole and its companion star make up a system called MAXI J1820+070, located in our Galaxy about 10,000 light years from Earth. The black hole in MAXI ...
