The LIGO collaboration today announced results from the detection of gravitational waves on Jan. 4. The discovery will be published in the journal Physical Revi...
The world's most powerful X-ray laser beam creates 'molecular black hole'
Jun 01, 2017 (SPX)
Within 30 femtoseconds - millionths of a billionth of a second - the molecule lost more than 50 electrons, far more than scientists anticipated based on earlier...
X-ray pulses create 'molecular black hole'
Jun 01, 2017 (SPX)
The researchers used the free-electron laser LCLS at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US to bath iodomethane (CH3I) molecules in intense X-ray li...
Early Black Holes May Have Grown in Fits and Spurts
Jun 01, 2017 (SPX)
Astronomers have determined the Big Bang occurred about 13.8 billion years ago and have evidence from the SDSS that supermassive black holes with masses of abou...
A network of crystals for long-distance quantum communication
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
Like when the coin is grabbed, this superposition of states is destroyed as soon as it is read. This peculiar feature allow one to detect an evil eavesdropper w...
Novel method to study quantum fluctuations in exotic phases of matter
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
Many fascinating phenomena with promising technological applications in areas such as superconductivity are linked to quantum phase transitions, but the role of...
Do stars fall quietly into black holes, or crash into something utterly unknown?
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
Most scientists agree that black holes, cosmic entities of such great gravity that nothing can escape their grip, are surrounded by a so-called event horizon. O...
'Quantum leap' for Liverpool
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
A novel experiment to probe the dark universe was co-initiated by Dr Jon Coleman, a Royal Society Research Fellow in the University's Department of Physics, tog...
The synchronized dance of skyrmion spins
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
Now, a research group in Singapore has used computer simulations to further probe the behaviors of skyrmions, gaining insight that can help scientists and engin...
Heavy particles get caught up in the flow
May 31, 2017 (SPX)
Particle collisions at RHIC - a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory - regularly recr...
Quantum states reveal themselves with measurable 'fingerprint'
May 31, 2017 (SPX)

Unveiling the quantum necklace
May 30, 2017 (SPX)
For those not involved in the field, this world may seem trifling, but recently, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate Unive...
Large Hadron Collider data to be translated for the piano
May 30, 2017 (UPI)
Researchers at the University of Plymouth, in tandem with scientists at MIT and CERN in Switzerland, want to turn data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, t...
Collapsing Star Gives Birth to a Black Hole
May 28, 2017 (SPX)
It went out with a whimper instead of a bang. The star, which was 25 times as massive as our Sun, should have exploded in a very bright supernova. Instead, it f...
MPIA: Fast-Growing Galaxies Could Solve Cosmic Riddle
May 26, 2017 (SPX)
The discovery could explain an earlier finding: a population of surprisingly massive galaxies at a time 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, which would requir...
VLA reveals new object near supermassive black hole in famous galaxy
May 24, 2017 (SPX)
The astronomers observed Cygnus A, a well-known and often-studied galaxy discovered by radio-astronomy pioneer Grote Reber in 1939. The radio discovery was matc...
Astronomers make the largest map of the Universe yet
May 22, 2017 (SPX)
"Because quasars are so bright, we can see them all the way across the universe," said Ashley Ross of the Ohio State University, the co-leader of the study. "Th...
Model predicts presence of naked singularity in 4D space
May 22, 2017 (UPI)
The theory of relativity describes gravity -- a product of matter's effect on spacetime -- and its relations to the other laws of physics. A singularity is a po...
