Data shows earliest supermassive black holes had plenty to eat
Dec 19, 2019 (UPI)
Models of the early universe predicted that most of the gas and dust present would be used up by star formation. But new research suggests an excess of gas surr...
Laser-based prototype probes cold atom dynamics
Dec 19, 2019 (SPX)

A warm Space Station welcome for cool new hardware
Dec 18, 2019 (JPL)
The Cold Atom Lab has been up and running in the space station's science module since July 2018 and is operated remotely from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory i...
Daylight saving time does not misalign human cycles
Dec 13, 2019 (SPX)
The results state that human cycles are not misaligned by Daylight Saving Time regulations. The report also shows the impact of latitude in the seasonal adaptat...
Heat energy leaps through empty space, thanks to quantum weirdness
Dec 12, 2019 (SPX)
But a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, shows how the weirdness of quantum mechanics can turn even this basic tenet of classic...
Weizmann physicists image electrons flowing like water
Dec 11, 2019 (SPX)
From roaring waves to swirling whirlpools, the flow of a liquid can be extremely rich. Such varied phenomena are the result of the many collisions that occur be...
Simple experiment explains magnetic resonance
Dec 09, 2019 (SPX)
A versatile technique employed in chemistry, physics, and materials research, magnetic resonance describes a resonant excitation of electron or atomic nuclei sp...
Astronomers discover the heaviest black hole in the nearby universe
Dec 04, 2019 (SPX)
Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and the University Observatory Munich discovered this by evaluating photometric data from t...
Ultracold chemistry transforms observing chemical reactions
Nov 30, 2019 (SPX)
"Probably in the next couple of years, we are the only lab that can do this," said Ming-Guang Hu, a postdoctoral scholar in the Ni lab and first author on their...
What Are Black Holes?
Nov 30, 2019 (SPX)
Two main classes of black holes have been extensively observed. Stellar-mass black holes with three to dozens of times the Sun's mass are spread throughout our ...
Scientists spot black hole so huge it 'shouldn't even exist' in our galaxy
Nov 28, 2019 (AFP)
LB-1 is 15,000 light years from Earth and has a mass 70 times greater than the Sun, according to the journal Nature. The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100 m...
A new theory for how black holes and neutron stars shine bright
Nov 28, 2019 (SPX)
Astrophysicists believe that this high-energy radiation - which makes neutron stars and black holes shine bright - is generated by electrons that move at nearly...
Black hole nurtures baby stars a million light-years away
Nov 27, 2019 (SPX)
If confirmed, this discovery, made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, would represent the widest reach ever seen for a black hole actin...
Scientists inch closer than ever to signal from cosmic dawn
Nov 27, 2019 (SPX)
In a paper on the preprint site ArXiv and soon to be published in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers present the first analysis of data from a new configura...
Physicists say industrial bread dough kneaders need a redesign
Nov 27, 2019 (UPI)
High quality bread requires just the right amount of kneading, which works air into the dough. Air develops the dough's gluten network, which provides the bread...
Planets around a black hole?
Nov 26, 2019 (SPX)
"With the right conditions, planets could be formed even in harsh environments, such as around a black hole," says Keiichi Wada, a professor at Kagoshima Univer...
A new paradigm of black hole physics leads to a new quantum
Nov 25, 2019 (SPX)
Remo Ruffini, Director of ICRANet, recalls that this is a final step of a 49 years effort. In our joint article of 1971 with John Archibald Wheeler, "Introducin...
A remote control for everything small
Nov 20, 2019 (SPX)
