Why is there any matter in the universe at all? New Sussex study sheds light
Mar 03, 2020 (SPX)
The team - which included the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in ...
NASA's OSIRIS-REx students catch unexpected glimpse of newly discovered black hole
Mar 03, 2020 (SPX)
REXIS, a shoebox-sized student instrument, was designed to measure the X-rays that Bennu emits in response to incoming solar radiation. X-rays are a form of ele...
Using light to put a twist on electrons
Feb 28, 2020 (SPX)
In this case, the phenomenon of "handedness," known as chirality, occurs not in the structure of the molecules themselves, but in a kind of patterning in the de...
Astronomers detect biggest explosion in the history of the Universe
Feb 28, 2020 (SPX)
The blast came from a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy hundreds of millions of light-years away. It released five times more energy than the pr...
Scientists 'film' a quantum measurement
Feb 27, 2020 (SPX)
A collaboration of researchers from Sweden, Germany and Spain has answered these questions using a single atom - a strontium ion trapped in an electric field. T...
Otago physicists grab individual atoms in ground-breaking experiment
Feb 24, 2020 (SPX)
A myriad of equipment including lasers, mirrors, a vacuum chamber, and microscopes assembled in Otago's Department of Physics, plus a lot of time, energy, and e...
Producing single photons from a stream of single electrons
Feb 17, 2020 (SPX)
A single photon, the elementary particle of light, can carry a quantum bit of information over hundreds of kilometres. Therefore, a source that can generate sin...
Studying electrons, bridging two realms of physics: connecting solids and soft matter
Feb 17, 2020 (SPX)
Normally, the electrons in a material have low levels of interaction with each other and therefore, move freely enough for the material to conduct electricity (...
Pitt study uncovers new electronic state of matter
Feb 14, 2020 (SPX)
Jeremy Levy, a distinguished professor of condensed matter physics, and Patrick Irvin, a research associate professor are coauthors of the paper "Pascal conduct...
Artificial intelligence can spot when correlation does mean causation
Feb 07, 2020 (SPX)
Dr Saurabh Johri, Chief Science Officer at Babylon, said: "Until now, we have been limited to piecing together answers from studies that needed to capture all t...
AI tool developed to predict the structure of the Universe
Feb 06, 2020 (SPX)
Advancements in telescopes have enabled researchers to study the Universe with greater detail, and to establish a standard cosmological model that explains vari...
Artificial intelligence 'sees' quantum advantages
Feb 05, 2020 (SPX)
A wide range of problems in modern science are solved through quantum mechanical calculations. Some of the examples are research into chemical reactions and the...
New quasi-particle discovered: The Pi-ton
Feb 05, 2020 (SPX)
Such a quasiparticle has now been discovered in computer simulations at TU Wien (Vienna) and named pi-ton. It consists of two electrons and two holes. The new p...
Showing how the tiniest particles in our universe saved us from complete annihilation
Feb 04, 2020 (SPX)
How we were saved from a complete annihilation is not a question in science fiction or a Hollywood movie. According to the Big Bang theory of modern cosmology, ...
Ultra-high energy events key to study of ghost particles
Feb 03, 2020 (SPX)
"Neutrinos continue to intrigue us and stretch our imagination. These 'ghost particles' are the least understood in the standard model, but they hold the key to...
Exploring strangeness and the primordial Universe
Feb 03, 2020 (SPX)
To discover QGP in such experiments, the observation of exotic 'strange' quarks is very important. If QGP is created, strangeness is readily produced through co...
Pulsar-white dwarf binary system confirms general relativistic frame-dragging
Jan 31, 2020 (SPX)
The results of the twenty-year study confirm a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity. When a massive object rotates, general relativity predicts...
Astronomers witness the dragging of space-time in stellar cosmic dance
Jan 31, 2020 (SPX)
More than a century ago, Albert Einstein published his iconic theory of General Relativity - that the force of gravity arises from the curvature of space and ti...
An ultrafast microscope for the quantum world
Jan 30, 2020 (SPX)
This microscope - a sort of HD camera for the quantum world - allows the precise tracking of electron movements down to the individual atom. It should therefore...
Quantum physics: On the way to quantum networks
Jan 27, 2020 (SPX)
'Entanglement' describes a very particular type of quantum state which is not attributed to a single particle alone, but which is shared between two different p...
