Taming electrons with bacteria parts
Jan 24, 2020 (SPX)
Electrons power the production of fuel and medicine. Electron movement is behind photosynthesis, our main source of food and combustion. Moving electrons are th...
Ghostly particles detected in condensates of light and matter
Jan 24, 2020 (SPX)
Such states include superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). There is a beautiful purity in such exotic states, in which every particle is in the same ...
Borexino experiment releases new data on geoneutrinos
Jan 23, 2020 (SPX)
With this update, the researchers have now been able to access 53 events - almost twice as many as in the previous analysis of the data from the Borexino detect...
Astrophysicist finds massive black holes wandering around dwarf galaxies
Jan 22, 2020 (SPX)
The study, headed by MSU astrophysicist Amy Reines, searched 111 dwarf galaxies within a billion light years of Earth using the National Science Foundation's Ka...
XMM-Newton maps black hole surroundings
Jan 22, 2020 (ESA)
Most black holes are too small on the sky for us to resolve their immediate environment, but we can still explore these mysterious objects by watching how matte...
Core of massive dying galaxies formed early after Big Bang
Jan 20, 2020 (SPX)
The discovery will add to our knowledge on the formation of the Universe more generally, and may cause the computer models astronomers use, one of the most fund...
X-rays and gravitational waves will combine to illuminate massive black hole collisions
Jan 15, 2020 (SPX)
The European Space Agency (ESA) has recently announced that its two major space observatories of the 2030s will have their launches timed for simultaneous use. ...
Influential electrons? Physicists uncover a quantum relationship
Jan 14, 2020 (SPX)
The findings, the work of scientists at New York University, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Rutgers University, and MIT, are reported in the journal...
A stripped helium star solves the massive black hole mystery
Jan 13, 2020 (SPX)
Recently, a Chinese team of astronomers claimed to have discovered a black hole as massive as 70 solar masses, which, if confirmed, would severely challenge the...
Experiments into amorphous carbon monolayer lend new evidence to physics debate
Jan 13, 2020 (SPX)
Although generally believed by the scientific community to be continuous random networks of atoms, a long-standing, fundamental question existed: Are amorphous ...
Scientists transform a BBQ lighter into a high-tech lab device
Jan 10, 2020 (SPX)
The goal would be to make the low-cost device available to high schools, budget-pressed laboratories and other organizations whose research might otherwise be l...
Cosmic magnifying glasses yield independent measure of universe's expansion
Jan 09, 2020 (SPX)
Knowing the precise value for how fast the universe expands is important for determining the age, size and fate of the cosmos. Unraveling this mystery has been ...
Light elements add weighty burden to crisis in cosmology
Jan 09, 2020 (SPX)
Precise amounts of helium, deuterium and lithium are predicted to have been formed by fusion reactions in the dense, extremely hot initial instants of the Big B...
Indeterminist physics for an open world
Jan 08, 2020 (SPX)
He has thrown light on a contradiction between the equations that are supposed to explain the phenomena that surround us and the finite world. He suggests makin...
The case of the elusive Majorana: The so-called 'angel particle' is still a mystery
Jan 07, 2020 (SPX)
Majorana fermions are enigmatic particles that act as their own antiparticle and were first hypothesized to exist in 1937. They are of immense interest to physi...
Famous black hole has jet pushing cosmic speed limit
Jan 07, 2020 (SPX)
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole with observations of the massive, dark object at the center of Messier 87, or...
Stanford researchers build a particle accelerator that fits on a chip
Jan 07, 2020 (SPX)
Now, for the first time, scientists at Stanford and SLAC have created a silicon chip that can accelerate electrons - albeit at a fraction of the velocity of tha...
Two supermassive black holes caught in a galaxy crash
Jan 06, 2020 (SPX)
400 million light-years away from Earth, in the constellation of Ophiuchus, two galaxies are crashing into each other and forming a galaxy we know as NGC 6240. ...
Astronomers find wandering massive black holes in dwarf galaxies
Jan 06, 2020 (SPX)
These dwarf galaxies, more than 100 times less massive than our own Milky Way, are among the smallest galaxies known to host massive black holes. The scientists...
Tweezer clock may help tell time more precisely
Dec 30, 2019 (SPX)
These clocks can measure time to a precision of one second per every hundreds of millions of years. Newer atomic clocks that measure optical frequencies of ligh...
