Pennies reveal new insights on the nature of randomness
Mar 06, 2015 (SPX)
The concept of randomness appears across scientific disciplines, from materials science to molecular biology. Now, theoretical chemists at Princeton have challe...
Why isn't the universe as bright as it should be?
Mar 05, 2015 (SPX)
A handful of new stars are born each year in the Milky Way, while many more blink on across the universe. But astronomers have observed that galaxies should be ...
First scientific publication from data collected at NSLS-II
Mar 05, 2015 (SPX)
Just weeks after the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility at Brookhaven National Laborato...
Breakthrough in particle control creates special half-vortex rotation
Mar 05, 2015 (SPX)
A breakthrough in the control of a type of particle known as the polariton has created a highly specialised form of rotation. Researchers at the Universities of...
The first ever photograph of light as a particle and a wave
Mar 03, 2015 (SPX)
Quantum mechanics tells us that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. However, there has never been an experiment able to capture both nature...
Forbidden quantum leaps possible with high-res spectroscopy
Mar 03, 2015 (SPX)
A new twist on an old tool lets scientists use light to study and control matter with 1,000 times better resolution and precision than previously possible. Phys...
What Big Bang? Universe May Have Had No Beginning at All
Mar 02, 2015 (Sputnik)
What we don't know about the Universe... could fill the Universe. Two theoretical physicists have suggested nothing like the Big Bang played a role in the start...
The building blocks of the future defy logic
Feb 27, 2015 (SPX)
Wake up in the morning and stretch; your midsection narrows. Pull on a piece of plastic at separate ends; it becomes thinner. So does a rubber band. One might a...

Feb 27, 2015 (SPX)
A research team led by Shuro Takano at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and Taku Nakajima at Nagoya University observed the spiral galaxy M...
New insight found in black hole collisions
Feb 27, 2015 (SPX)
New research by an astrophysicist at The University of Texas at Dallas provides revelations about the most energetic event in the universe -- the merging of two...
Top-precision optical atomic clock starts ticking
Feb 27, 2015 (SPX)
A state-of-the-art optical atomic clock, collaboratively developed by scientists from the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, and Nicolaus Copernicus...
Astronomers find impossibly large black hole
Feb 26, 2015 (SPX)
An international team of astronomers have found a huge and ancient black hole which was powering the brightest object early in the universe. The black hole's ma...
Monster black hole discovered at cosmic dawn
Feb 26, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists have discovered the brightest quasar in the early universe, powered by the most massive black hole yet known at that time. The international team led...
A solution to the puzzle of the origin of matter itself
Feb 26, 2015 (SPX)
Most of the laws of nature treat particles and antiparticles equally, but stars and planets are made of particles, or matter, and not antiparticles, or antimatt...
