Galaxy clusters yield new evidence for standard model of cosmology
Apr 04, 2023 (SPX)
In a recent study, a team led by physicists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University made detailed measurement...
Gaia discovers a new family of black holes
Apr 02, 2023 (ESA)
A team of astronomers studied the orbits of stars tracked by Gaia and noticed that some of them wobbled on the sky, as if they were gravitationally influenced b...
Swiss watchmakers counting the clock until Chinese tourists return
Apr 01, 2023 (AFP)
Exports to China, a key market for watchmakers, contracted by 13.6 percent in 2022 due to Beijing's zero-Covid policy and the surge in infections when it was li...
Astronomers witness the birth of a very distant cluster of galaxies from the early Universe
Mar 30, 2023 (SPX)
Galaxy clusters, as the name suggests, host a large number of galaxies - sometimes even thousands. They also contain a vast "intracluster medium" (ICM) of gas t...
Light-bending gravity reveals one of the biggest black holes ever found
Mar 29, 2023 (SPX)
The team, led by Durham University, UK, used gravitational lensing - where a foreground galaxy bends the light from a more distant object and magnifies it - and...
AI finds that first stars were clustered together
Mar 27, 2023 (SPX)
After the Big Bang, the only elements in the Universe where hydrogen, helium, and lithium. Most of the other elements making up the world we see around us were ...
The Stonehenge calendar shown to be a modern construct
Mar 27, 2023 (SPX)
Over the years, several theories have been put forward about Stonehenge's meaning and function. Today, however, archaeologists have a rather clear picture of th...
Astronomy instrument helps capture singular quantum interference effects
Mar 24, 2023 (SPX)
When electrons recombine with highly charged ions, X-ray polarization becomes important for testing fundamental atomic physics involving relativistic and quantu...
A common thread linking subatomic color glass condensate and massive black holes
Mar 23, 2023 (SPX)
Black holes, in contrast, span billions of kilometers across. The new work shows that both systems are made of densely packed, self-interacting force carrier pa...
The first bubble in the intergalactic stew
Mar 21, 2023 (SPX)
This scorching gas hugs a region that consists of a giant collection of galaxies called COSTCO-I. Observed when the universe was 11 billion years younger, COSTC...
MIT physicists predict exotic new phenomena and give recipe for realizing them
Mar 21, 2023 (SPX)
The work is theoretical, but the researchers are excited about collaborating with experimentalists to realize the predicted phenomena. The team includes the con...
First detection of neutrinos made at a particle collider
Mar 20, 2023 (SPX)
Neutrinos are fundamental particles that played an important role in the early phase of the universe. They are key to learn more about the fundamental laws of n...
Quantum sensing in outer space
Mar 17, 2023 (SPX)
They will focus on the concept of quantum sensing, which use quantum physics principles to potentially collect more precise data and enable unprecedented scienc...
Pinpoint simulations provide perspective on universe structure
Mar 15, 2023 (SPX)
Based on a series of simulations, researchers have begun to probe the heterogeneous structure of the universe by treating the distribution of galaxies as a coll...
Princeton Chem, IAS uncover spatial patterns in distribution of galaxies
Mar 15, 2023 (SPX)
The astrophysicist, Oliver Philcox, now a postdoc at the Simons Foundation, was intrigued. A year-long collaboration ensued. The questions at the heart of their...
Landmark quantum breakthrough paves way to unravel deepest mysteries of universe
Mar 14, 2023 (SPX)
The invention, by a University of Bristol physicist, who gave it the name 'counterportation', provides the first-ever practical blueprint for creating in the la...
It's a weird, weird quantum world
Mar 13, 2023 (SPX)
That year, when Shor took his turn to present an algorithm he had recently worked out, the physicists paid keen attention to Shor's entire talk - and then some....
Galileo: no way without time
Mar 13, 2023 (ESA)
ESA's ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands is continously monitoring the 'Galileo System Time' at the heart of Europe's satellite navigation system - on an...
Electrocatalysis under the atomic force microscope
Mar 10, 2023 (SPX)
The efficiency of such electrocatalysts depends largely on the nature of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces, i.e. the interfaces between the solid electrodes ...
Tracing 13 billion years of history by the light of ancient quasars
Mar 07, 2023 (SPX)
The study adds another piece to the puzzle of the history of the universe. "We found that the fraction of carbon in warm gas increased rapidly about 13 billion ...
