Fixed astronomical clock vital for galactic history
Feb 06, 2015 (SPX)
Scientists have settled a long running debate on one of the fundamental time measures for galactic history - the half-life of a radioactive isotope of iron. The...
Evidence mounts for quantum criticality theory
Feb 05, 2015 (SPX)

Physicists observe motion of skyrmions
Feb 05, 2015 (SPX)
Small magnetic whirls may revolutionize future data storage and information processing if they can be moved rapidly and reliably in small structures. A team of ...
Scientists: Evidence of Big Bang theory fails to space dust
Jan 31, 2015 (UPI)
Scientists have countered a controversial 2014 study that claimed to find evidence of the rapid expansion of the early universe, upending what was considered th...
A new instrument to study the extreme universe
Jan 29, 2015 (SPX)
What are the high-energy processes in the Universe that occur in the immediate vicinity of a black hole? To study a question like this one cannot simply utilize...
Researchers use sound to slow down, speed up, and block light
Jan 29, 2015 (SPX)
How do you make an optical fiber transmit light only one way? Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have experimentally demonstrated, ...
Quantum computer as detector shows space is not squeezed
Jan 29, 2015 (SPX)
Ever since Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity in 1905, physics and cosmology have been based on the assumption that space looks the same in all ...
Exotic, gigantic molecules fit inside each other like Russian nesting dolls
Jan 28, 2015 (SPX)
University of Chicago scientists have experimentally observed for the first time a phenomenon in ultracold, three-atom molecules predicted by Russian theoretica...
Scientists set quantum speed limit
Jan 28, 2015 (SPX)
University of California, Berkeley, scientists have proved a fundamental relationship between energy and time that sets a "quantum speed limit" on processes ran...
Black Hole Chokes on a Swallowed Star
Jan 28, 2015 (SPX)
A five-year analysis of an event captured by a tiny telescope at McDonald Observatory and followed up by telescopes on the ground and in space has led astronome...
In theory black holes exist with unbounded speeds of propagation
Jan 27, 2015 (SPX)
Lorentz invariance (LI) is a cornerstone of modern physics, and strongly supported by observations. In fact, all the experiments carried out so far are consiste...
Black hole on a diet creates a 'changing look' quasar
Jan 24, 2015 (SPX)
Yale University astronomers have identified the first "changing look" quasar, a gleaming object in deep space that appears to have its own dimmer switch. The di...
Only the lonely...(reveal the secrets of atomic nuclei)
Jan 23, 2015 (SPX)
Individual protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei turn out not to behave according to the predictions made by existing theoretical models. This surprising conclu...
Two or one splashing... It's different
Jan 23, 2015 (SPX)
If two children splash in the sea high water waves will emerge due to constructive superposition. Different observations are made for the microscopic world in a...
Inside the big wormhole
Jan 22, 2015 (SPX)
"If we combine the map of the dark matter in the Milky Way with the most recent Big Bang model to explain the universe and we hypothesise the existence of space...
Atoms can be in 2 places at the same time
Jan 21, 2015 (SPX)
Can a penalty kick simultaneously score a goal and miss? For very small objects, at least, this is possible: according to the predictions of quantum mechanics, ...
Shining a light on quantum dots measurement
Jan 20, 2015 (SPX)
Due to their nanoscale dimensions and sensitivity to light, quantum dots are being used for a number of bioimaging applications including in vivo imaging of tum...
Galactic 'hailstorm' in the early universe
Jan 19, 2015 (SPX)
Two teams of astronomers led by researchers at the University of Cambridge have looked back nearly 13 billion years, when the Universe was less than 10 percent ...
Rapid journey through a crystal lattice
Jan 15, 2015 (SPX)
The time frames, in which electrons travel within atoms, are unfathomably short. For example, electrons excited by light change their quantum-mechanical locatio...
Race of the electrons
Jan 15, 2015 (SPX)
It is easy to measure electric current. But it is extremely hard to watch the individual electrons which make up this current. Electrons race through the metal ...
