Black Hole Makes Material Wobble Around It
Jul 25, 2016 (JPL)
The European Space Agency's orbiting X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has proved the existence of a "gravitational vortex" around a black hole. The discovery, aid...
New Yale-developed device lengthens the life of quantum information
Jul 22, 2016 (SPX)
Yale University scientists have reached a milestone in their efforts to extend the durability and dependability of quantum information. For the first time, rese...
Quantum drag
Jul 22, 2016 (SPX)
Friction and drag are commonplace in nature. You experience these phenomena when riding in an airplane, pairing electrical wiring, or rubbing pieces of sandpape...
Unconventional quasiparticles predicted in conventional crystals
Jul 22, 2016 (SPX)
An international team of researchers has predicted the existence of several previously unknown types of quantum particles in materials. The particles - which be...
Australian physicists revisit spin-bowling puzzle
Jul 22, 2016 (SPX)
Latest calculations reveal why small variations in the rotation of the ball applied by slow bowlers in cricket can cause batsmen big problems even before delive...
Scribbles found to be Leonardo da Vinci's earliest notes on laws of friction
Jul 22, 2016 (UPI)
Scribbled pages in a notebook of Leonardo da Vinci, previously dismissed as nonsense, have been revealed as the polymath's earliest musings on the laws of frict...
RMIT researchers make leap in measuring quantum states
Jul 22, 2016 (SPX)
A breakthrough into the full characterisation of quantum states has been published today as a prestigious Editors' Suggestion in the journal Physical Review Let...
Weird quantum effects stretch across hundreds of miles
Jul 19, 2016 (SPX)
In the world of quantum, infinitesimally small particles, weird and often logic-defying behaviors abound. Perhaps the strangest of these is the idea of superpos...
Scientists generate first direct short-wavelength spin waves
Jul 19, 2016 (UPI)
Computers and smart technologies are approaching a size limit. Components can't get much smaller than they already are without easily overheating. "One major pr...
A glimpse inside the atom
Jul 19, 2016 (SPX)
An electron microscope can't just snap a photo like a mobile phone camera can. The ability of an electron microscope to image a structure - and how successful t...
Gravitational vortex provides new way to study matter close to a black hole
Jul 19, 2016 (ESA)
ESA's orbiting X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has proved the existence of a 'gravitational vortex' around a black hole. The discovery, aided by NASA's NuSTAR mi...
The birth of quantum holography
Jul 19, 2016 (SPX)
Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of physics. However, scientists at the Facult...
New Kind of Black Hole Now Firmly Within Observers' Sight
Jul 13, 2016 (SPX)
Astronomers Aaron Smith and Volker Bromm of The University of Texas at Austin, working with Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, have di...
Physicists collide ultracold atoms to observe key quantum principle
Jul 13, 2016 (SPX)
Physicists from New Zealand's University of Otago have used steerable 'optical tweezers' to split minute clouds of ultracold atoms and slowly smash them togethe...
A new look at the galaxy-shaping power of black holes
Jul 13, 2016 (SPX)
Data from a now-defunct X-ray satellite is providing new insights into the complex tug-of-war between galaxies, the hot plasma that surrounds them, and the gian...
Physicists discover family of tetraquarks
Jul 12, 2016 (SPX)
Physicists in the Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences have made science history by confirming the existence of a rare four-quark particle and disco...
2016 Will Be One Second Longer
Jul 11, 2016 (SPX)
On December 31, 2016, a "leap second" will be added to the world's clocks at 23 hours, 59 minutes 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This corresponds ...
Alma finds a swirling, cool jet that reveals a growing, supermassive black hole
Jul 11, 2016 (SPX)
A Chalmers-led team of astronomers have used the Alma telescope to make the surprising discovery of a jet of cool, dense gas in the centre of a galaxy located 7...
Aftermath of Star Being Swallowed by Supermassive Black Hole
Jul 08, 2016 (SPX)
Radio astronomers have used a radio telescope network the size of the Earth to zoom in on a unique phenomenon in a distant galaxy: a jet activated by a star bei...
The energy spectrum of particles will help make out black holes
Jul 06, 2016 (SPX)
Scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics, and the National Research University ...
