A cold cosmic mystery solved
Apr 24, 2015 (SPX)
In 2004, astronomers examining a map of the radiation leftover from the Big Bang (the cosmic microwave background, or CMB) discovered the Cold Spot, a larger-th...
Comb detects terahertz waves with extreme precision
Apr 24, 2015 (JPL)
Light can come in many frequencies, only a small fraction of which can be seen by humans. Between the invisible low-frequency radio waves used by cell phones an...
Black hole hunters tackle a cosmic conundrum
Apr 24, 2015 (SPX)
Dartmouth astrophysicists and their colleagues have not only proven that a supermassive black hole exists in a place where it isn't supposed to be, but in doing...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK's National Measurement Institute in collaboration with IBM and the University of Edinburgh, has used a new quantu...
ALMA reveals intense magnetic field close to supermassive black hole
Apr 24, 2015 (SPX)
Supermassive black holes, often with masses billions of times that of the Sun, are located at the heart of almost all galaxies in the Universe. These black hole...
Pulsing light may indicate supermassive black hole merger
Apr 24, 2015 (SPX)
As two galaxies enter the final stages of merging, scientists have theorized that the galaxies' supermassive black holes will form a "binary," or two black hole...
