Turbulent Black Holes
Jun 09, 2014 (SPX)
Fasten your seatbelts - gravity is about to get bumpy. Of course, if you're flying in the vicinity of a black hole, a bit of extra bumpiness is the least of you...
Quantum criticality observed in new class of materials
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
Quantum criticality, the strange electronic state that may be intimately related to high-temperature superconductivity, is notoriously difficult to study. But a...
Controlling Complex Systems Comprising Many Quantum Particles
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
At TU Vienna, a new method was developed to utilize quantum mechanical vibrations for high precision measurements. The well-known concept of the Ramsey interfer...
No evidence of the double nature of neutrinos
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
Neutrinos are tiny, neutral elementary particles that, contrary to the standard model of physics, have been proven to have mass. One possible explanation for th...
Hubble Team Unveils Most Colorful View of Universe Yet Captured
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have assembled a comprehensive picture of the evolving universe - among the most colorful deep space images ever...
Surprisingly strong magnetic fields challenge black holes' pull
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
A new study of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies has found magnetic fields play an impressive role in the systems' dynamics. In fact, in dozen...
Black Hole 'Batteries' Keep Blazars Going and Going
Jun 05, 2014 (SPX)
Astronomers studying two classes of black-hole-powered galaxies monitored by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have found evidence that they represent diff...
WSU researchers confirm 60-year-old prediction of atomic behavior
Jun 04, 2014 (SPX)
Researchers at Washington State University have used a super-cold cloud of atoms that behaves like a single atom to see a phenomenon predicted 60 years ago and ...
International team replicates amplification of cosmic magnetic fields
Jun 03, 2014 (SPX)
have established that cosmic turbulence could have amplified magnetic fields to the strengths observed in interstellar space. "Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in...
Toronto physicists take quantum leap toward ultra-precise measurement
Jun 03, 2014 (SPX)
For the first time, physicists at the University of Toronto (U of T) have overcome a major challenge in the science of measurement using quantum mechanics. Thei...
Zeroing in on the proton's magnetic moment
May 30, 2014 (SPX)
As part of a series of experiments designed to resolve one of the deepest mysteries of physics today, researchers from RIKEN, in collaboration with the Universi...
Smaller accelerators for particle physics
May 28, 2014 (SPX)
It took every inch of the Large Hadron Collider's 17-mile length to accelerate particles to energies high enough to discover the Higgs boson. Now, imagine an ac...
Universe breaks its fever
May 22, 2014 (SPX)
An international team, led by researchers from Swinburne University of Technology, has found evidence that the Universe broke its rising 'fever' about 11 billio...
Particles near absolute zero do not break the laws of physics after all
May 22, 2014 (SPX)
In theory, the laws of physics are absolute. However, when it comes to the laws of thermodynamics - the science that studies how heat and temperature relate to ...
Scientists discover how to turn light into matter after 80-year quest
May 21, 2014 (SPX)
College London physicists have discovered how to create matter from light - a feat thought impossible when the idea was first theorised 80 years ago. In just on...
Tricking the Uncertainty Principle
May 20, 2014 (SPX)
Today, we are capable of measuring the position of an object with unprecedented accuracy, but quantum physics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle place fun...
Radiation from Early Universe Key To Major Questions In Physics
May 15, 2014 (SPX)
Astrophysicists at UC San Diego have measured the minute gravitational distortions in polarized radiation from the early universe and discovered that these anci...
Have cosmologists lost their minds in the multiverse?
May 15, 2014 (TCM)
The recent BICEP2 observations - of swirls in the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background - have been proclaimed as many things, from evidence of the Bi...
Exploring the magnetism of a single atom
May 12, 2014 (SPX)
Magnetic devices like hard drives, magnetic random access memories (MRAMs), molecular magnets, and quantum computers depend on the manipulation of magnetic prop...
A stellar explosion on the outer reaches of the Universe provides clues about black hole formation
May 09, 2014 (SPX)
On 24 October 2012 observatories across the world were alerted about a huge stellar explosion, the GRB121024A, which had been located just hours before in the E...
