A unique data center for cosmological simulations
Jul 06, 2017 (SPX)
From the exact measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with the Planck space observatory and many other measurements for example with the Hubble sp...
Table top plasma gets wind of solar turbulence
Jul 03, 2017 (SPX)
Now a team of scientists from India and Portugal have recreated such magnetic turbulence on a table top in the lab, using a high intensity ultrashort laser puls...
Extremely fine measurements of motion in orbiting supermassive black holes
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
If confirmed, this is the first duo of black holes ever shown to be moving in relation to each other. It is also, potentially, the smallest ever recorded moveme...
Astronomers detect orbital motion in pair of supermassive black holes
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
The two black holes, with a combined mass 15 billion times that of the Sun, are likely separated by only about 24 light-years, extremely close for such a system...
Groundbreaking discovery confirms existence of orbiting supermassive black holes
Jun 28, 2017 (SPX)
UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy graduate student Karishma Bansal is the first-author on the paper, 'Constraining the Orbit of the Supermassive Black Hol...
Quantum thermometer or optical refrigerator
Jun 26, 2017 (SPX)
Described in a pair of new papers in Science and Physical Review Letters, the potential applications include chip-based temperature sensors for electronics and ...
Shaking Schroedinger's cat
Jun 22, 2017 (SPX)
But did you know that if you peek into the cat box frequently - thousands of times a second - you can either delay the fateful choice or, conversely, accelerate...
Shining light on low-energy electrons
Jun 16, 2017 (SPX)
One particular area of interest is low-energy electrons or electrons that have kinetic energy levels of about 10 electronvolts (eV) or less. These electrons aff...
No Universe without Big Bang
Jun 16, 2017 (SPX)
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the curvature of spacetime was infinite at the big bang. In fact, at this point all mathematical tools fail, and t...
Scientists make waves with black hole research
Jun 15, 2017 (SPX)
Their findings shed new light on the physics of black holes with the first laboratory evidence of the phenomenon known as the superradiance, achieved using wate...
Galaxy alignments traced back 10 billion years
Jun 15, 2017 (SPX)
Astronomers have long known that galaxies cluster together into enormous systems - the urban centers of the cosmos - and that the largest galaxies tend to 'poin...
Russian Spektr-RG mission to identify 3 billin black holes after 2018 launch
Jun 15, 2017 (Sputnik)
The Spektr-RG (Spectrum Roentgen Gamma) space mission intends to map at least three million black holes across the Universe, project astrophysicist Rashid Sunya...
The largest virtual Universe ever simulated
Jun 13, 2017 (SPX)
Over a period of three years, a group of astrophysicists from the University of Zurich has developed and optimised a revolutionary code to describe with unprece...
X-ray study reveals way to control molecular vibrations that transmit heat
Jun 12, 2017 (SPX)
Controlling these vibrational waves in soft materials such as polymers or liquid crystal compounds could lead to a range of energy-inspired innovations - from t...
Physicists use numerical 'tweezers' to study nuclear interactions
Jun 12, 2017 (SPX)
"Ultimately we want to understand how nuclear forces determine nuclear structure by studying how nuclei attract or repel one another," says Dean Lee, professor ...
Cosmic inflation: Higgs says goodbye to his 'little brother'
Jun 09, 2017 (SPX)
Just after the Big Bang, the Universe probably passed through a phase of inflation, an extreme burst of expansion. If inflation did really occur, there should b...
New confirmation of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity
Jun 08, 2017 (SPX)
Now, an international research team directed by Kailash C. Sahu has done just that, as described in their June 9, 2017 article in Science. The study is believed...
In atomic propellers, quantum phenomena can mimic everyday physics
Jun 08, 2017 (SPX)
Chemists from the institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw have, however, observed rotations that follow the non-intuitive rules of the quantum wo...
Neutrino discovery: A step closer to finding CP violation
Jun 07, 2017 (SPX)
The Standard Model of particle physics describes the basic building blocks of matter and how they interact. It also makes a point that for every particle create...
RIT study suggests dying stars give newborn black holes a swift kick
Jun 06, 2017 (SPX)
Rochester Institute of Technology researcher Richard O'Shaughnessy and collaborators reanalyzed the merging black holes detected by LIGO (Laser Interferometer G...
